Make it Easy!

I'm sitting at Starbucks and listening to the lyrics of a song :
"Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy".
I'm not particularly fond of the other lyrics to this song but this phrase just caught my ear.

Lyricists are amazing communicators.
It's very difficult I'm sure to open your heart up so everyone on the planet can look inside you and know what you are feeling at the time you are writing the song.

I've heard that the Bee Gees write the music to a song first and then let the music dictate the lyrics. It just comes to them because of the way the melody moves. That has always fascinated me.

I'm going to try it....really....how many times have I said that?
I'm a church musician so it should be easy...right? I sing and play worship songs.
Glory to God. Praise and worship Him. Jesus saves. I love the Lord with all my heart.

If I were to write a song I would try this method:

Pray to God that He speaks to me in this moment
Open the Good book (bible)
Read the Word and know what it means
Say or sing it in a rythm
Re-write and Re-word
Let it settle
Record it

Make it Easy!

I'll let you know how it turns out......... :)
