what ive learned is that its hard to write a song about a thing that is always just a thing, such as a spoon. Youd end up writing a song such as this:

Spoons
Raven Xalus

The deadly shining curve
With a handle thats dripping blood
It is the spoon of doom!
With its spoon army of death.......

See what I mean? If you try to make a story about a couple of boring things like a book, spoon, fork, drawer, etc. then it'll turn out weird and probably won't be your style.

Write a song about a true historical event, or an event you made up. Thats what I always do. Or, just write about something that happened to you, bad or good. Just write whatever you want to write, and it'll be good. Don't go around "hey a pencil, should I write a song about it?" cause its lame and it dont got no game. So write whatever "floats your boat" (grizzlymint).

(oh, I actually wrote that song up there)
