really look deep in your soul. take your most powerful feelings and write them down as you feel them. If there was ever a time you were hurt ........ write about it. A time you felt an ove abundance of joy......... write about it. do whatever You feel in your heart.

Razor Tears, Falling Forward, Saving Souls, QUestio\ni really suck at stuff like this sorry...you can always try taking bits and pieces of lyrics and piecing them together (just dont make it too long) .. im in a band and we call ourselves "choking cliches" cause it can be taking both ways: we could be choked by cliches or we could be the one's choking cliches.  kinda corny but ... thats how we are.  well, im sure you'll come up with something effing amazing! good luck

Woah!!  Did you write that?  I was expecting some BS love song, not a REAL love song.  I seroiusly thought it was awesome, and Im not fishing for points.  I write songs too, just when Im bored, not for a band.  That's from the Heart!...I'd title it "Tear Me Apart".  That is what popped into my head after the first couple lines, and as I read it, that title sounded better.  I think it is definately written out of retaliation, not simple minded hate, which makes it more real.  I could feel what you meant in the song.  Hats off to you Mr Ark, that was straight songwriting, not like the crap the masses buy into.  Hey man, I wouldnt post your songs on here.  They are good, and someone will steal them.

START YOUR OWN>   or maybe  hint that your looking for guys for your new group.  tell the guys in your brothers band  you would like them to be your backup,  but its hard because of your brothers attitude.   maybe they will want to join your bank.  keep asking the guys (not your brother) for their help and input to help you get your super group going.

Contact some recording studios - alot of them have onsite producers who should be able to help you. When it comes to production of your discs, our band uses a company called ace copydisc. Their website is www.acecopydisc.co.uk - can't remember their phone number off hand but can find it if you want it. They give great advice and their design service/ duplication service is excellent and affordable.  Good luck.

Being a good friend. They're few and far between. Almost anyone can do the others that you listed with little to no effort. (Yes, that includes playing the guitar)

Was he a founding member of the band? If so, did he have any say or contribution to coming up with the bands name? If so, then he would have grounds. However, if he is the only member departing and he has no intention of starting another band with the same name, then you should be allowed to keep the name. To be safe, I would check with an attorney. He's probably just blowing smoke. There are many bands out there with the same name..you dont have to change them unless you get signed by a record company and then no one can yank your name because you're music is published and getting air play. \n\nGood luck!!!

I hate to say it, but I think that you are out of luck on this one.  The music industry generally does not accept unsolicited material.  One chance you might have it to approach a local band or musician and show them your work.  Good luck

I can understand your desire to tell the band members in person or make sure they get the message. Writing to their manager or record label is one of the best ways to make sure they get the message. I've worked with and know a couple musicians and they love hearing stories about how their music touched the lives of people. Not to belittle your experience in the least, but bands hear a lot of great touching stories about how their music has helped people in really bad situations and MCR is no exception I'm sure. Posting things on their myspace, forums and/or writing their record company directly are things that they see and hear about - even if they don't have the time to contact you in return.

I have a number of melodies that have come about through playing around with the guitar or piano. then I'll be going through my day, and a topic or phrase will catch my attention. I'll build up a lyrical chorus, then start thinking about which melody it might fit into. Eventually I'll start filling out the backstory (almost all my songs are anecdotal) and the lyrics round themselves out.\n\nThe easiest part: writing the music that plays underneath the lyrics, between choruses. As long as you don't mess with the key too much, almost anything simple will do.\n\nThe hardest part: The bridge! The bridge! The bridge! A great bridge can make or break a great song. Most beginning songwriters don't even think about it. Pearl Jam writes great bridges. Led Zeppelin used to take the bridges out of earlier songs and form entirely new songs from them. ("Whole Lotta Love" started as a bridge from "Dazed and Confused.") A lot of the softer rock bands from the 70's, such as Ambrosia and The Little River Band, wrote great bridges.\n\nThere's no right or wrong way. As you probably know, it's a very personal process, and each songwriter finds there own way. Good luck, hope to hear some of your music someday!

You can do that, but try not to play them too close together. Sometimes bands' songs all sound the same i.e. Everclear. It worked for them, but its not too talented to do something like that.

i also write poems/songs. I felt it, so yes it is good.Whenever you can send someone inside themselves with your words ...make them feel. Then you have done something worthwhile. Keep writing hon.

I am dissapointed by the lack of response to your question. I had it on my watch list as I have also written many songs, and was hoping for a good tip.  Good Luck

Be really creative and just know what you're doing. Like people who're very informed about current issues usually make for good songwriters if they're also musically inclined. But one of those real world-changing things takes lots of brains and ideas to start with.
