It doesn't work when I want to sit down to write music or lyrics. It just does't work. I can't think of anything to write. I guess I have to free myself from the thought that a song has to be difficult. I have just played a song on the piano which had only 3 chords. How great is that.
Well, the song that I'm working on at the moment is probably again more difficult than I wanted it to be. The titel is "Endless Roads" and I set myself some rules before I started writing it. It shouldn't be a love song and I tried to avoid the first person narrator (except for one place I managed that
). Somehow it doesn't rhyme but it still fits to the music. Not sure of this is the final draft and I might work it over again.
here is the text:
Endless roads
There are roads that seem endless
And unbearable to walk
They seem too steep and far to long to go
And you know it’s up to you to start
(but soon) your legs are getting tired
and hunger fills your thoughts
You consider turning back or at least sitting down for a while
But when you keep on walking
You’ll find flowers on your way
Next to the stones that
Let you feel the ground under your feet
And they are growing every day
If you could only see
Where this road is going to lead you
What all these crossroads mean to you
Before your legs are getting tired
And hunger fills your thoughts
Just think of me and let me guide you
On this endless road
(cause) when you keep on walking
You’ll find flowers on your way
Next to the stones that
Let you feel the ground under your feet
And they are growing every day
