song writing

[Nelly_Fan]

I've never tried anything like this before so I'm kinda way out of my depth on this one.. I started a song that had my feelings of whats happend in my life and I think I have evrything I wanted in, but have no idea how to layout each line, should I make up some kind of tune to go with the lyrics or something so if anyone has any ideas I would be really greatful.

When it comes to song writing you have to follow your heart. Just like Poetry. Never rush it. You can come up w/ a beat first or the lyrics,it doesn't matter.It's up to you.

yeah, it's up to you....everyone has their own process for writing songs.

there is still lots of things need changing and adding so it's noway finished but it's the general jist:

Life and me

As I grow does it get easy?
The Ups and downs are the only things keeping me sane.

I paint my dreams that fight with the livin
I say what I need but never what I want.

The light is over now, is life to short to hide
We break up and we makeup like the night over day
You give and you take, you taunt and you tease me.
For life is mine and my life forever.

Please bring me along, please take me there, the place I need to be.

It?s just you and me that lies cries then dies.
We sleep, drink and breathe what else is there to do.
You go through the phase until the phase is over.
Waiting for life to be your friend again,
You see the light of your life through the mirror of the day.
Please take me there the place I wanna be

Please bring me along, please take me there, the place I need to be.

The Street is dark waiting for the light
I can see you standing there wanting from me, But have nothing to give.
These are living walls,
Seeing all, seeing all of my dreams.
Alone in these walls are the only truths I have,
The truths I have secret.
The secret of my past present and soon my future.
It hurts so much to love you it makes me bleed inside.
So please GOD TAKE ME THERE.

Wow - that's really awesome

Wow!!! Very nellyish in some parts and that's great I liked it. My lyrics also sound very nellyish or jewelish or even norahish, lol.

When I had my real first inspiration to start was when I started playing that different version of My love Grows Deeper that changes to "I get so stuck on leavin' but I think I'll stay...", you know? I started with that and then mixed my own lyrics and beat and I had a song... if I publish it I'll have to ask Nelly if I can use that part of the lyric and beat

thnx, I'm glad you like it. all I need now is to give it a bit of backing music
