Q: Hey bill. So I've read a lot of other questions about writing melodies/lyrics at the same time. I have applied it and got some nice verse melodies with lyrics I like too.  But now I'm in a predicament with the second verse. Now I'm kind of back to trying to puzzle piece lyrics into the preexisting verse melody. I've tried to come up with a new melody/lyrics but then it seems too unrelated to the beginning. So what's the technique for getting around this/ what do you do to help with writing second verses are things like them? Thank so much!!
A: anything can happen, but the only way you're gonna get the answers is if you can trick your brain to stop worrying about it. which gets more and more difficult the more you care. which, if you're like me, is a lot. Also the time when you're gonna get the right answer is gonna be after you've heard the whole thing through from the beginning up to the stopping point, in real time. what i would recommend is, record a run-through of what you have, then play some sort of calming sound-free game whilst listening to the recording. and don't be alarmed if you don't seem to get ANYTHING. you'll just have to wait a little longer until your brain actually calms down and until you actually are not thinking about it. then, plentiful answers will flow like water. then the race is on to catch them all in time
