Post subject: | Song Stories |
Several years ago I added a page to my website called "Song Stories". It's fairly buried in the site but basically the idea was to capture some of the more interesting stories about how some original tunes came to life and were titled. As I wrote on the page, every piece has a story. Some stories are more interesting than others. What are your stories? http://www.121normal.com/resources/stories |

Such a great idea Glen. I think that 'the story' is almost always true if not a rule behind composing original tunes. Writing it down gives some solidity to the story the way that a song becomes more firm in a sense when it is recorded. Taking up the idea of writing it down is a little tuff for me though because, aside from being more work the songs keep changing and therefore new stories emerge. What has happened over time, because I have a love hate relationship with 'teachers' is that I have changed that word 'teacher' to "inspirer". So instead of seeing Greg or Bob or Don or Emmett as teachers they are my inspiration (everybody does that right?) but I have composed songs for each person and along with that each song has a story or lots of stories to go with them ... I might like to try the idea of writing as a helpful tool to get songs recorded. jRj *j* .~ |
