GUEST,Tone Deaf Leopard Songwriting - what do you need? (83* d) RE: Songwriting - what do you need? 24 Dec 06


The first thing we often need is insomnia. Many TDL songs were written in the summer when it was as hot at 4 am as it was at 4 pm.
It is favourite to have a pen or pencil and a notepad by the bed for such occasions. Often, songs are inspired by a word, or a phrase. Let us give an example. Sue's calendar had a picture of a chimpanzee in a tree. She sang "A chimpanzee in a tree" and it became the first line of a children's song.
