I'm not too sure where I should post this... it doesn't exactly come under the description that The Instrument Room gives, so it goes here.

 

So, I'm having trouble writing a song called Alpha/Beta. And this is probably a bit of a stupid thread, because I myself feel stupid for it.

 

So far, I've got:

Alpha Beta

I'll feel better

 

And that's it.

 

This is seriously pissing me off. I've had this idea for over a month now and I STILL can't think of ANYTHING good to put in there. It's so frustrating... I figured the song may as well be about starting something, but I can't think of what. I can't get any inspiration at all... when I try to write some of it, I just end up ripping up the paper. I put my pen to the paper, and nothing comes out. This is extremely strange for me, considering I'm a natural at writing stories, but not songs. I've tried writing them before and they come up as absolute crap. I won't take "maybe you're good at something else" crap, because I'm not. Sure, I'm a decent singer. Sure, I can draw. But that was after one friggin year of drawing and I wasn't as frustrated as I am now.

 

Enough to make anyone's blood boil.

 

...this feels kind of stupid to ask of... but any sort of tips for finding some sort of inspiration? I seriously can't think. All I've got is a chunk of sadness and frustration from recent events and the phrase "Alpha/Beta". And Coldplay song lyrics, that DON'T HELP ;_;

Park it for a while, and then come back to it ;)

 

Or go for a crap, most ingenius ideas eminate from sitting on the loo :shocked2:

 

No, definately park it :)

Yeah, my song writing constantly stalls, ideas eventually come. as long as you dont get to influenced by music you listen to you should be ok.

I think what hes saying is don't just write a coldplay song. You can be influenced, but don't write a coldplay song, make sure you have your own spin on it.
