  1. I wrote a love song

    They used to hide
    They're words
    Back in the day
    Rock n roll men
    Hid what
    They Had to say
    Using puns and
    clever word play
    To bypass censorship
    Back in the day
    But the rules on radio
    Are different now
    Is it better this way?~
    Everythings allowed…

    Drum fill
    Dun dun ~ dun,dunaduna, DUN.

    Chorus:
    I guess I kinda like you
    Yeah its implied by me penus
    points down
    I'm a stand up guy
    Yeah just like mah penus
    X2

    At some point a key change 2 semitones up for sure. With the chorus repeated. Right near the end.

  2. The main challenge I face while writing a song is staying to the topic. And every time I edit my lyrics ,they loose their original vybe.

  3. Hey, I really appreciate your poster behind the computer. That’s typical design for Polish posters so I recognised it immediately. Real work of art!

  4. Ideally I think it's best to try and write something that means something. But a hell of a lot of songs don't seem to mean much. My favourite songwriter has always been John Lennon. He wrote a lot of meaningful songs but a lot of my favourites of his he admitted himself didn't mean anything. It doesn't make any difference to me, a song like Rain or Hey Bulldog meant nothing but I can still listen to them all day. Even a pointless story if told brilliantly with great melodies, rhythm, instrumentation can be a great song.

  5. Hey now I learned how to write songs by absorbing, by hanging around my friend who knew how to write. All he ever told me outright was to keep it simple. Of course I dont deal with today's radio hits kind of music they can pull that stuff out of the dirt
