Members paulodumb Posted February 20, 2010 Members Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hello, everybody, I like to write a lot of songs. One song a day is a nice stride I reach sometimes. (It may apocryphal, but I heard Brian Wilson, one of my personal heroes, also liked to write one song a day). I approach it like every song is just practice for the next. This takes pretty much all of the pressure off. And it really is good practice, for everything: songwriting, recording, playing the various instruments, singing, etc. If I do anything I find particularly awesome, I can always come back to it. So, how about some song ideas? Anything you've got. Song titles, lyric fragments, perhaps an odd musical instrument I can work in or a sample you've made, particular chords or progressions, song/sound ideas. Really, almost anything you might contribute to a song. A song can be built around all kinds of tiny little things, and all kinds of little things can contribute to a song. Thanks,Paulo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I'll have it up on my site tomorrow, hopefully. Never tried a country tune before. I've got a slide, though! I'm totally using that.

Members paulodumb Posted February 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2010 cool? Yes. This is awesome. So many good ideas here. I posted elsewhere and could only get one person to post a song title. So here's the country hit, I Can't Get Over You (Until You Get Out From Under Him)(direct link). My first attempt at any sort of country song. It kinda segues into some dub reggae stuff in the middle, 'cause I thought, hey, how about some dub reggae? What do you think?
