I'm been through a lot of turmoil in the past few months of my life, but I'm living proof that anyone can simply survive. But throughout everything that has transpired, I've still been writing music, it's just that the lyrics, well I've been having a hard time with. But I've searched through my note pads (poems from high school) many years ago. I've found some creative ideas, as well as some pretty neat memories. However, I guess the approach that I've always taken (and the approach I'm taking right now) is that listen to the music, and I try to naturally communicate with the sounds. It's much easier than tryng to communicate with my ex-girlfriend,) :D but either way it's alwas a chalenge. But I think that's good because it keeps things interesting. I write down a few random passages that help me get a grip on whre I want to take the song thematically.

I'm sure evetryone has their unique methods, I hear some people even stand on their heads!
