It's one thing to talk about writing great lyrics, and it's another to set them to the right music. To hear some of my songs, go to MySpace.com, click on Search, and type in "Viki Christensen" to launch my page.
Some have a refrain or chorus, some have an introduction, and some just speed willy-nilly to the end (Young Love, in particular). This melange of songs provides examples of different ways to use your lyrics. Be sure they tell a story, and people will relate to them. If it's not happening in their lives, they will know someone it does affect.
All of these songs were recorded in early September of 1995, 16 years ago, and all were done in one live take, as we had a tiny audience there. The earliest songs were written in 1970, and the latest were composed in the summer of 1995. Across these 25 years are another 50+ songs. In my opinion, some aren't worth the paper they're written on, and they serve as bad examples. However, even these entry-level works are part of the process you have to experience in order to create the memorable pieces. Don't hold back while you're waiting to birth a masterpiece. Write now!!!
