Writing melodies and chords is easy. It's the words that are difficult. You have to sing them to bring them to life; lyrics are different from poetry.
Sometimes its great to leave them to lie for a while, and then go back to them with a fresh mind; you can see what needs to change as clearly as day, and the song feels complete.
The latest one, I've got so many extra lyrics that I'm thinking of giving them away as Christmas presents.
I keep waking up early in the morning singing new words to the same melody.
Maybe they are poems? Who knows?
Not me.
