I write the words first, I keep a notebook of interesting ideas and phrases. Then to compose the melody I say the key phrases then sing them until I have the notes which express the feeling best. Then I chose the chords to accompany the melody, write a couple of more verses, polish up the chorus and the bridge then I play it in public and keep the parts that people like and polish up the rest, repeating the process until I am pleased with the result.

"fartmer"?? LOL... If that isn't a real word it should be one.
