well i have been writing songs for a long tym now .. 37 songs and counting.
My advice is to hav the basic format..
Verse .. Chorus.. Verse .. another chorus if wanted .. bridge and then and ending to the song, perhaps the chorus or a coda. I usually write a song based on something .. a feeling, theme.. u no?
Well hope i hav been of some help.
I would be more than happy to post one of my songs up for you as help.. if u ever need to <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy"> <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif" border=0 alt="Smile">
