i know we all struggle with finding release and ways to draw from things that inspire us.
musicially, i can always find ways to write music to express what i feel.. but in the lyrical section, i feel that i have a hard time drawing on the emotion and to get it into my music. its there in my mind and on paper, but have a hard time conveying it to the recording.
the question i have.. what do each of you do to help this?

Sep 04, 2002 05:15 am If I am having a hard time getting the sound across, I generally wait until I am in a certain mood to do it, if it is a sad, depressing song I wait until I am in a bad mood to work on it, and vice-versa.
Quite often I have found when I am in a downer mood I tend to work slower and willing to try more wacked out things, therefore end up getting better results because I am not feeling "rushed".

Sep 04, 2002 12:24 pm I'd have to agree with DB , the best writting I've done was in advers situations , I'm not saying got the middle east to write but hay it helped me , hahaha. The thing is with me , when you want to write you can't always do it , it just pops up out of the blue and bites you in the @#! . Since my music is more tward darker emotions and such , I kinda do the bad pych thing and dig up old memories or bad experianses and that does the trick.

Sep 04, 2002 09:10 pm I have generally been very fortunate in the past to convey emotion via the sound's I created on my synth's, or guitar's. They in-turn would help me to find the more piece's of the music. When I would hit a dead end, I simply looked for another sound, or effect to trigger more emotion.
I have recently had a probelm with to much emotion blocking the creative process. Everything I play lately seem's to be very dark and depressing. I relate that to the current situation's in my life. On the upside I have discovered a very happy side I have not felt in a very long time. But on the darker side, I am facing emotion's and thing's I had not planned on being in my life. The music come's easy, but the word's just cannot be found. I geuss that's why most of my stuff is very instrumental.
