Writing Songs.



I’ve always wanted to write a song. No, this probably will not be an interesting blog of any sort; however, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I have always wanted to, but have never had the means to complete the task. A piece of paper and a pencil are not difficult to obtain, and are quite numerous in the backpacks of other children in a school, but that is not all that is included in a song. I cannot just get those two and magically make the pencil write words (if I could, I would never do any of my own homework). I am a horrible story teller, I can barely make up random things to say and make it sound interesting – most of what I say is, in fact, completely and utterly uninteresting, I’m sure of it. Even if I could tell a story, what would the story be on? What direction would I take the lyrics? Would it be repetitive like most main-stream pop music? Would it contain no chorus? There are so many directions for writing something such as this. I could write about the detestable nature of people and their capability of doing no good in life, but I’m not sure how many people would actually have any interest in something like that; everyone likes their happy endings and upbeat music too much. The complication of writing such things and my conflicting feelings of humanity are too much; I have decided that I do not want to write a song. Too much work, too complicated, and too much related to poetry. Maybe one day, but not today.
