I started this damn thing because I thought I could use some feedback as a songwriter. Well, since I started it I've written the music to about 20 songs--chord changes, bridges, solos, breakdowns, you name it--but I'm completely lyrically challenged. Lines from songs will come to me at random moments, and I'll commit them to memory, but then I won't be able to do anything with them. I have about 50 or so verses, or choruses, or bridges, and no way to stick any of them together. People tell me I'm a good writer, but is my freedom of musical expression doomed to be limited to music and not lyrics? I feel like lyrics can detract from a good instrumental piece, but they can also make a song more complete than it would ever be otherwise. I want to be able to do that, but I can't. The only experiences I have to draw upon are silly little romances or things I read in the headlines, neither of which work for more than a few lines. Perpetual writer's block sucks.
