Music

[BlasterBates]

Anybody write songs here. I have great ideas for melodies and harmonies, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to writing words.

Any tips welcome.

I was wondering about looking for poems or unknown lyrics on the Internet and putting them to music.

I used to write poems when I had girlfriends.

Vogon poetry is particularly lyrical . . .

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits
On a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes
And hooptiously drangle me
With crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
See if I don't!

I've found that there aren't any set ways to writing lyrics - like writing music, they just come to you when you least expect it.

Probably not much help, but there we go.

I think you're right Freaky, I'm just not cut out for it.

Actually a long time back I knew a poet, and I put some of his words to music. The trouble was the poems were quite gloomy. They'd start off with words like "I hear the wind calling me, run be free" and then go gloomy with "the blue skies turn to grey".

The trouble was all his poems were like that.

But the thing was, faced with a poem with a rythm I found it really easy to put to a meloldy. These days I start with a rythm or melody and sing nonsensical words. If only...

Not more music! Please! I hear enough cr*p from people's MP3 players and mobiles each morning to last a life time.

If only I could carry a device to remotely wipe the memories of these devices discretely my life would be made.
