Q: Every time I try to write a song it feels like I just stole a Melody from another song and added my own words. Have you ever dealt with this? if so how did you get over it?
A: the more context you give it, the more likely that it will find it's own identity. make a brief scenario or situation, for the song to lend itself to and sing about. suddenly everything now has a sense of purpose. It's like when cars have that same old 4 wheel layout, (2 in the front, 2 in the back.) pretty boring, until you realize all the places that car could be going
