Where can i get the inspiration to..?

i have always loved reading and writing.i want to write a song but it seems like theres nothing eles to write about..



Writer's usually get inspired when they least expect it. Sometimes an over heard conversation, a silent moment, a news story, a memory or a moment closer to nature can just touch something off that sets that creative wheel to spinning.


It rarely can be forced.


You will write when you decide what you want to say.




Here are some ideas:





Historical events


Literature


Film


personal experiences


philosophy


Historical figure


something you don't like


situation a friend is going through


feelings (of course)





really just something important to you, even if it's a pet hamster. Or, take a song that you like and do it in your style. Sometimes people feel this is a rip off, but other times it really works. 3 examples:


Death from Above 1979 cover of Bloc Party's "Luno"


The Pixies cover of "In Heaven" from the film Eraserhead


Johnny Cash cover of NIN "hurt"





Good luck!




i break out in song a lot i usually just rhyme what comes to mind and put it in music form like


i'm typing an answer


those are my pants sir


where is my belt


its made of felt




Write about what you feel, or what you see. Writing a song is a personal thing, not attempting to write the "Next Big Hit".




Just start making sentences, and put them to rhyme or something.
