what about imagining things in ur head? and applying whatever you want to say through represented objects? thats my method though....first of all just think of what you want to say in your lyrics and slowly imagine them happening (or not happening)...

if that makes any sense at all...

Just, you know, write songs. Your own songs. Come up with your own style.
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.

Good advice but I'm not sure what you mean. I have a combo of styles into all my songs a few are like indie country rock sort of style so it is always intresting with my songs.

I just mean do your own thing. But it sounds like you're doing that already, so good job.

Yea I think if everyone follows my styles this world would be very original. No offense and then I am very energetic even when me and my dad practice I have to stand or i never stand still in my stool. So great music and a comedy show all in one package a $49.99 package for free.

Yea I'm tryin to get a Peter Gabriel Relient K Keith Urban feel for this song so this should be a very good song from me.

Ok here is a taste of what I got so far:

Looking For:
Don't tell me the truth
That you were the one
That killed me with that gun
You never said it was done
But before I go to the other side of life
I want everyone to notice you

They looking for you now
They never saw you before

Yea Bob Dylan is good, I would prefer like a little more punk like All American Rejects acoustics Three Days Grace but my all time is the one and only Johny Cash. But I will be listeing to Bob all day for inspiration for this song and all the old greats and newer ones all the law breakers. Also another big influence in my life is Simple Plan both acoustic and electric stuff. Even crap I like to see the mistakes I shouldn't make.
