Normally I'll come up with an interesting chord progression, record and sing as many sounds as I can.
Then I'll pick out the ab lib I like and redo it. Without words. Because adding words can be very hard.
How can I go about fitting words to a melody? And not just stupid words that you put zero thought into, but important ones.
There's about four years worth of poetry sitting in their hiding spot collecting dust.
"Ou baby, you go where you go you say you go and say yes and no"
These were the lyrics that came to me as I was mumbling out my tune.
I'd like for the lyrics to tell the story of being cheated and lied to.
It has a gorgeous flow and it sounds very nice and melodic with the guitar playing, but it doesn't make any sense.
Do lyrics need to make sense?
