Full Version: I Wrote A Song About Writing A Song

You can read the mind behind this one here.

The lyrics are mosty finished, and they're clear enough that I won't post them so that maybe those sweet moments where someone hears a lyric that wasn't originally there, but it turns out to be better than what I actually wrote, happens.

Please feel free to reword THAT sentence to make more sense.

Anyways...

Thought process.
http://www.myspace.com/stevenwesleyguiles (Second song on the player currently titled "If We Leave Before..." because it wouldn't take the longer title, "If We Leave Before We Say Our Goodbyes").

It could also be titled "We Could Write Our Own Song" or "Stay With Me Tonight".
I'll take votes...and may even ACT on them.

Thanks Ghostwriter and Tonepoet for all your posts over the months on songwriting and recording. It really has "spurred me on" in a good way.

That's really cool Steve. I don't know how I missed this the first go 'round, but I'm off to listen. I'll be back with comments later.

Keep writing bro...

edit to say: I like the idea of this. Just getting it done. I've known that's important for some time, but it's hard to put into practice sometimes. I went back tonight into the writer's forum looking for some bit of inspiration to push me back towards writing (wrote one song about the time my mom passed, and none since).

This may have put me over the edge. Thanks Steve.

I'm so glad. You guys posted something that had inspired me to do the same. Iron sharpening iron or something like that...

Although, I may be more of a #2 lead than true iron. smile.gif

One of my favs Steve.

Thanks again,
