25 Years Later and He's a Songwriter |
| 8/13/2010 7:31:36 AM |
|  I was at my 25th class reunion recently when I found out that one of the guy’s I graduated with is now a prominent songwriter. He was always a dreamer in school and wrote some of the most beautiful poetry, but I never thought that he would turn it into a songwriting career. It was wonderful to see him after all these years and even though so much time had passed, it was as... Read More

Songwriter in the Family |
| 5/24/2010 5:54:07 AM |
My brother is so poetic that at times I think he could be a songwriter. I’ve mentioned it to him many times over the course of the years, but he always blushes and doesn’t say much about it. He doesn’t know that I know, but he has a book filled with poetry and other things that he’s written, and when I have the opportunity, I sneak into his room and read them. He definitely...

My Love For Sheet Music |
| 3/24/2010 10:16:52 AM |
I have spent the last ten years of my life collecting sheet music. I use music for everything from decorating my home, to entertaining guests. I love that wherever I am in my house, there is always something musical around me. My friends lovingly call my home the music box! Whenever I buy a gift for anyone, I always make sure that it can be recognized as something musical.... Read More |

Striving To Be A Songwriter |
| 3/24/2010 9:53:38 AM |
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always displayed signs of having musical talent. Not only could all of my family members see it, but more than anything, I could feel it so strongly inside of myself. Every night before I went to bed, I would wish on the brightest star I could find in the sky, to one day be a musician. I wanted to reach people with my words and ideas... Read More |

I've Tried My Hand At Songwriting |
| 3/3/2010 10:23:35 PM |
 It takes talent to be a songwriter and I know this to be true because I have tried it. I was never a serious songwriter and I did not make any money from it. To be honest I penned the lyrics after I was given the melody. The songwriting I did was for a band I fronted for a short while in my early twenties. I found out that songwriting takes more than just talent, too. It... Read More |

Learning musical instruments are in the future |
| 1/28/2010 5:13:19 PM |
 I always wished that I could play a musical instrument. Some of my extended family are very musically talented and play various instruments. My good friend’s husband has been in a band most of his life and has done well with his group in local venues. I think if I could have any type of creative talent, it would be to play the guitar or piano and be a songwriter. When I... Read More |

My journey as a Songwriter |
| 12/22/2009 3:02:49 AM |
When I was a little kid, I always loved listening to my dad playing his radio in the garage while working on the cars, or some other house hold project. I loved hearing the music, and thinking about how much work each songwriter had put into making that song a reality. Way back then, I decided that when I grew up, I wanted to become a professional songwriter.
It took a lot... Read More |

Songwriting Makes The World Go Around |
| 11/24/2009 1:45:51 AM |
They say that good songwriting is the key to a successful music career. So that would mean that the songwriter is the most important part of the whole. I think a lot of musicians that play musical instruments, would disagree. If you look at popular music songs or even watch some live performances, then I think you would agree that it is the chemistry of the band, not the... Read More |

Respecting Songwriters Beause It's Not Easy to Do |
| 10/5/2009 4:08:45 PM |
 I have a lot of respect for songwriters. I've tried to write a few songs, and it's really challenging. The music isn't so awfully hard to compose, but getting the words to fit the rhythm seems to be beyond me. I don't sing much, which probably explains why I have more trouble with the lyrics than the music. I play a few instruments so putting the music together is much... Read More |

Underground Beats Best with Many Musical Instruments |
| 9/24/2009 6:44:26 PM |
 If you have never heard of Metaform now you have. His underground sound will have you hooked after listening to the many musical instruments included in the single Lonely Boy attached below. I don’t really know how to categorize his music. Maybe eclectic electronic beats works. You won’t find a songwriter behind any of Metaform’s songs because all of it is instrumental with...
