Q: hi bill. any tips on finishing songs? i have, no joke, over 3 whole albums worth of ideas, wether it be lyrics, chord progressions, melodies, structures, etc. but i've never actually written a full song. it's very frustrating because most of the ideas, in my opinion, are very good, but i just can't seem to find the motivation to actually focus and finish a song (writing lyrics in particular is very difficult for me). any tips to combat this? and have you ever been in this situation?
A: in that case, i don't get what you mean by motivation. if you really didn't have it, then you never would have described the whole situation so clearly and made a focused point of inquiring about solutions for it. I can gladly give you a whole bunch of methods i use for the songwriting scenario you first described, but if you had no motivation then you of course wouldn't be motivated to hear it
