I've lost my thing!!!!!

bandhelix · 6th October 2004, 10:57 AM

Totally gutted. I, me, bandhelix, am a song writer for three bands that i'm in, but i have one problem, i've lost my thing. You know the 'thing' is very important to a song writer, helps them come up with new ideas for songs. Me-my thing= lack of new songs.
I was kinna wondering if anyone could help me out by giving me ideas for songs, i'm not ready to give my position up and go back to just being the bassist.
Pleeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeeeee help.

P.S- if you find my 'Thing' walking the streets near you, can you tell it that i'm very angry with it and to tell it to come home.

Write a song about how you lost your thing.

bandhelix · 6th October 2004, 11:28 AM

Good idea, i might just do that. Thanks.

ProzaK · 6th October 2004, 12:44 PM

read some other song writers stuff thats how I get motivated.

bandhelix · 6th October 2004, 12:56 PM

thats actually bad, because you end up using to much of the song you reading or listening to.

You could write about how you managed to get over 100 posts without even being a member for two days... It would take up nearly all of the spare time I had if I were to do that, so why not? Or you could write about something funny and naughty. Which would probably be more fun.

eat toast and read magazines.

then look at modern art that doesnt make sense, and have a cup of coffee.

and listen to music with no words. or opera.

sorted.

or alternatively make a mechanism whereby you can play music and eat sausages...daddy would you like some sausage?

do something that really inspires you, like what inspired you to write in the first place? Listen to music which means something to you or watch a film that really moves you.
