Q: I have all these lyrics and song concepts floating around in my head but I can never bring a full song out of them because they're all disconnected i.e. each line belongs to an entirely different song and cannot possibly be connected to the rest. How do I get my brain to use one of these lines and form something at least half decent? Also, i have a very vague understanding of music theory and every time I try to write a melody, it ends up sounding more like an instrumental part of whatever song, so I can't use music theory to figure out what chord progression would work out best with whatever tune I just hummed out and use that to try and create a melody or whatever. It's just so frustrating having all these ideas and tunes but never being able to do anything with them. Pls send help.
A: just write them all down in a list and eventually you'll figure something out. sometimes the only way through this is to pretend you are in a contest for worst song ever written. this may help you get into the game of things
