Anyway, you gotta let it flow from inside to the outside. It is erronious to "think how to sing or how to write a song". It has to come from the life inside you and flow out to the ears of the hearer!
Now that is what is missing nowadays in most cases. It's more like picking a subject and writing a few clever lyrics and a catchy tune (or toon) to make it pallatable to the ear.
What I miss is the songs that make you feel it, as Led Zeppelin said "Waaaay Doooown Insiiiide! Honey, You need Loooooooove!
You gotta Love what your doin and people will notice. Gotta whole lotta Love?
Go For It, Let it flow, don't force it, it won't work if it is forced.
What is it we're talking about? Oh, Yeah, Its called Music!
I agree with this. "Writing" a song as if one is working out a math formula is not what music is about.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
