How Do You Write A Song?

Ideas would come to me, and I start embellishing those ideas. Then voila, a song is born.

 

Maybe think of it more like a poem, and the ideas might flow differently. Then, say the poem out loud...then sing it...and see how it sounds?

 

I think some of the best songs tell a story, and I've got lots of memories, so it's easy to pick a topic.

Flipping that VW off a cliff...

sex with a one legged biker chic

THE FLESH TENT (18 nekid hippies on XTC in a three person dome tent)

Skiing down a black diamond ( with a friend that only skied twice before) in waste deep powder

At the hot springs with a moose.

Eating Nepalese Temple balls on a jet....trippin!

Being a disco king while going to hair styling school with 120 women

Doodle bugging (oil exploration)

driving a cab in San Diego

wild land fighting in New Mexico

If ya can't get laid at the rainbow....give up...

the mud pits at the rainbow

Well now I gotta get busy composing the next album......

 

Depends on what type of music you're creating, but i would say it follows a good structure, a simple catchy one.

[Intro]

[Hook]

[Verse]

[Bridge]

[Outro]

Something like that.
