Music

Whew! Well, to some people, this is easy but to others like me, it’s kinda hard. I mean really, I don’t know where to start, what to start, although I finished 1 song, yeah 1 song, heh. It’s called Adik Sa Kape or in English, Coffee Addict. You can play it by clicking the link on the post. The song is about 2 friends talking about love, heartbreaks and all, and instead of beer, they drank and drank coffee ’till morning. Heh, the song is kinda funny though I wrote it seriously. We had no beer around that time, so what we saw is coffee and hot water, we just needed to talk and you know, spit out those things that has to be spit out, you know what I’m saying? Heh.

Anyway, before we go out of track, writing songs isn’t that easy for me. If my best friend wasn’t there to strum the strings a bit, I wouldn’t finish the song. For me, I really need someone to help me finish a song, with the guitar at least. I mean, I know how to play instruments, but I can’t seem to concentrate when I’m playing while I’m writing. It’s kinda hard. Heh. But, if someone is playing while I’m writing, everything seems be smooth, while playing, lyrics come of my mouth just like talking normally, that’s how I finished that song, just started few words for verse, then everything comes smoothly after that, popping out and rhyming and all. It’s kinda cool.

I really hope I can learn how to write songs just by myself. Although I’ve written some lyrics, (I’ve already started so many lyrics but haven’t finished them) but they aren’t songs yet. Still needs rhythms and melodies, you know. Well, I just shared my experience on writing songs, how do you write your songs?
