Yeah, I think I must be a pretty empty person then 'cos I can't conjure up anything I wanna sing about! I mean I have done, but they've all been written now. I've got about 12 or so complete songs with lyrics 'n everything though, so I guess I'll focus on recording them for now.
I also often find poems easier to write than songs. I like writing poetically, but sometimes that style doesn't translate too well into a song. I do tend to like more poetic lyrics in songs though, with lots of imagery and words that just sound nice and flow. :p If that makes any sense.
You're not an empty person. You're just full of something else (wait, not what you think, stick with me here, a compliment is coming). You're just full of music instead of words. Like I was saying before, we all have different talents.
And there's really not much difference between a poem and a song. Poetic lyrics are great. Makes a song more meaty. You seem to be a thinking type of person, I imagine you could write a beautiful song.
I've written a few poems back in the college days, but I've never really written a song. It'll be a first for me.
Whatta hell is happening here? I didn't write that!
What I did write was:
This was the first time I've smiled in four days. It seems that it's always Travis that saves me in the end. This time with fab costume too. |

Wow, a post switch and a thread switch in one. I wrote the above and it belongs on the Can We Try Lyrics Now thread.
Soulslug, your post is where mine was supposed to be! Ahhh!
I edited mine/yours on the other thread. If you look, the subject got switched too. Just take out what I said and leave what you said, and it should be right, I think. |

| Whoaa, in the middle of writing my Swedish essay I sneaked to computer and what do I see? I shouted to my sister and there it is, the best possible version of Friends! This singing rodent in pink star-sunglasses definitely made my day (and not to mention those impressively talented backing vocals). Thanks Nikki for posting! |

| I transferred the song over to my iTunes and without seeing what's going on, the little "umh!" at the beginning is kinda funny. |

Ha! Great picture of "The Gerbil" Mayfly. Do you know where/when it's from? It's even funnier because I think he's actually carrying a tray of sandwiches, LOL! |

It's from Tour Archive of 2000 but most of the links are dead since the website moving. You may not be able to find it here now: http://www.travisonline.com/tourarchive/2000/ |
