1. With my band we come up with a guitar riff, from which we develop a complete band backing and write most of the instrumental part to the song. 2. While we're writing the rough instrumentation to the song, I'll be singing different vocal melodies over the top, until I hit upon a particularly effective one (or a few) 3. From the best vocal melodies, I'll come up with a selection of lyrical hooks for the chorus melody. 4. I'll keep a number of these chorus melody/lyric combinations stewing in my head for a few days... what I'll usually do is have no set topic for the song and will come up with a lyrical topic for the whole song based on the chorus hookline. 5. Once I've set myself on one topic I'll write the verse lyrics for it pretty quickly and will prune them to fit the music. 6. This is how I write about 80% of the songs for my band, most of the others were written on acoustic (lyrics and music simultaneously) and only one was written before being put to music. My reasons for writing music is purely that, to write music (because I love music and love writing it), although for writing lyrics I try to do two things: 1. Write about a topic that I've at least thought about it enough to have enough creative missiles to throw at it. 2. Write about something that a lyric hasn't been written about before. And achieve these things I do, mmmm. |

how we write,
usually it consists of our lead singer/ guitarist first developing the guitar part or atleast most of it, then we'll decide on a vocal melody. then he'll write the lyrics, usually his lyrical influences shine through, his lyrics are simplistic and tend to take the piss out of different features in our local society, for instance our last song was made to completely take the piss out of a type of people that generally dominate our school. and his latest song 'dirty dan' though he wont admit it is about his ex girlfriend dan who was a sleazy tart that got round alot. there's not much to say about the way he writes he simply writes to the vocal melody and tries to make it flow, then we lay down the bass and drums and fiddle a bit, usually in the recording of our songs hell almost always harmonize his voice over for the chorus which is sure enough most likely going to be a vocal hook, heh hes ac/dc obsessed, he'll always use a vocal hook. so yeah that's how we write ours. |

Even so, I don't think i've ever had a clear pre-writing inspiration, only a niggling feeling that something warrants more attention. I was wondering, do you have a clear idea what you're gonna write before you start? It seems like it would be difficult. Quote:

AC/DCs lyrics, however (although Moley disagrees), are a form of poetry but they are very simple and clear poetry. They do use metaphor, rhyming and specific meters, so they definitely count as poetry. |
