Song Writing..

It's amazing isn't it?When you get this beautiful melody or lyric and it just starts from there :)

Well that depends...but mostly I try to let go of a person whom I've put so much hope on..someone that you never thought you could even met and you never thought you could lose the next..

Sometimes my songs ain't just about letting go..sometimes i write songs about the people who have impacted my life..inspired me..

But you know sometimes things don't always go the way you want it to..so i write songs..i write my own kind of endings..

Yep that makes a lot of sense! :)

Another question (sorry!) but I wondered if you ever found that things go in both directions? You said that you write songs about letting go of that person who you lost, and about people and events that have inspired you in life. So life makes a difference to what you write -- I get that. But have you ever found that what you write has made a difference to your life? Like, has writing a song ever changed how things are in real life? Maybe helped you to get a different ending, or to let go?

Totally off the wall, sorry about that. Just wondering how much overlap in experience we have :D

Haha!No worries :)Well..has song writing ever changed how things are in life?

Song writing does help me to let go.When you first write a song.You express your entire emotions..every single thing that you've been holding back..your tears..your fears..confusion..everything. For me songwriting helps me to realise the truth and accept reality as it is.I stopped lying to myself just for temporary assurance.
Song writing thought me to not hold anything back.To not wait it out and think it through.To just let go of everthing.It felt nice once I did and when I flipped through my song book after a few months and sang the songs again.I felt freed.I felt a certain freedom.All the burden was gone.It was as if song writing help me to break away from everything that's been holding me back.
If you asked me whether song writing has made a difference in my life than my answer would be it freed me from all the things that has been pulling me down in life.

A different ending.Sadly no but it made me realise that you don't always get the kind of ending you want.But sometimes you shouldn't keep on waiting for it to happened.Sometimes you gotta make it happened.Make the ending you want become a reality.Although I still don't have the guts to get the ending i want...i suppose i'm still to afraid to take a risk..

Well I'm sorry if whatever I went through might not be similar to yours :( I'm still young and my experience with song writing hasn't gone too far..I'm still exploring it and learning from it along the way.. :) But it's nice to find someone like you who's life has changed thanks to song writing :D

Wow, thank you! That was a really lovely reply.

It gives a different perspective -- is that a good way to sum it up? You get stuff out of yourself and into words and music, and then you can look at them, and think about them, and accept them, without them crowding in and clogging up your brain?

i know it's a very personal thing, but if you ever wanted to share anything you'd written, I think you'd find a bunch of interested and supportive people here on EP. Just sayin :) x

Yes indeed song writing gave me a whole different perspective :) Thanks!EP is full of amazing and supportive people just like you :) It's nice to know that there are still wonderful and amazing people out there that I can related to and approach.There's a chance that maybe someday I might share some of the songs I've wrote here on EP.We'll see :)

Keep me posted my friend!

I will! :)
