i obviously don't have a formula because sometimes my songs are written in different ways...


sometimes i'll pick up my guitar, play one chord and then i'll just start singing andwords will come out of my mouth without me understanding them and my fingers will move to a new chord without my brain moving them there... it's quite strange and i feel powerless but it's a magical thing so i try to remember the lyrics and then i write them down after i'm done playing as best i can and then go back once or twice to refine them and make them fit a little better...


other times i will write random one-liners in this book i carry and then i try to expand on them later... then i'll usually try to work them in with some guitar licks i've been working on and try to make the two mesh together from there... these songs usually don't come out as well as the ones i write when the guitar and lyrics just subconsciously pour out of me...
