Has anyone written their own songs? | Page 6 | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

I write a lot of songs, though most of the time it’s just random ideas scattered. I’ve tried to write in quite a few genres, mostly ballads, but I’ve written a couple of rock songs and I’m in the middle of writing Thick-Framed Glasses, which is classic rock’n’roll. I can only play piano, but I’m waiting to get a guitar soon. As I’ve said, usually I forget about a lot of songs I’m writing, but that’s usually because I don’t think it works out, but honestly, it’s mostly procrastination. Most of the songs are about the same sort of thing.

I’m planning to write one about my… situation, but I don’t know whether to write it as an epic hard-rock song or a slow piano waltz.

Well, this is it. I’ve started writing my mega-ballad, Elizabeth, the story of a young man trying to pull through an unrequited love whilst hoping for a bright future for the both of them.

I’ve only written a couple of out-of-order verses. At the moment it sounds like Working Class Hero , but I’m still only on the bare bones of it. Once it’s written, I get a semi-good means of recording audio, I learn to play guitar (which won’t be too hard for me – it’s just the time taken for practicing which gets me), both acoustic and electric (my uncle’s trying to find me a guitar but I don’t know whether it’ll be the former or the latter) for the rhythm and the lead, respectively, I can be able to upload it. Don’t be surprised if you don’t hear the finished thing for a long time; I’m making it quite a long song (there’ll be a cut-down version, too) and I need all the things mentioned above – don’t forget the fact that I’m making this the big one, so I’ll probably upload a few more beforehand. Nonetheless, before all of the above is done, I’ll probably upload a demo of the song.
