Every song is different! And so no, not everyone can do it. We all see things but can everyone draw? No. It's the same with music. We all feel things but not everyone can express it -- and to express something deep in a few lines is even harder. A story is not a song. I can tell you a story, oh, my friend did this, then he did that .. I can go on for an hour. If you just heard one or two sentences out of it you wouldn't understand, but if I talked for an hour you'd get the picture. But it wouldn't be a song. I can then say something simple like "I hate him" or "I miss him" but that also would be a pretty boring song.

I write the words, but don't have any ability with an instrument. Can't play an instrument, read music, or sing. So what do I do with the words? What is my next step? Any ideas?

Hello guys and gals, Write now I am persuing a career in country music. I have many mentors and i actually grew up with guys like Jake Owen and Scotty Emrick.. They both went to my highschool.. I was a turntablist for many years with a band called Prophecy Collective that toured with bands like Rob Zombie, Puddle of Mud, Gravity Kills and so on. We almost got signed and then we were dropped due to some unfortunate circumstances. So I thought my music career was over.. So I went to the Navy and i discovered something. Something hidden deep that I know some of us feel.. That desire to share our thoughts and feelings with the world. Up until then i was just a turntablist.. A DJ. We do some pretty cool scratch tricks and shout creative hype that lasts less then 10 seconds over a Mic and its done. But now, I'm in the middle of the Ocean and I have nothing. No guitar to piano no turntables no NOTHING! Not even a friggin Kazoo!! lol.. Anyways so what did I have to ease my musical addictions and frustrations? I began to write. Now they say that only humans will evolve at the presepus of life and civilization and i believe that in some cases this is true in other facets of life. So i drew from everything i could wrap my mind around. Love, Hate, emotion, death, happiness, promotion, succession, dismal meaning, hurtful pain and so on. But you have to ask yourself. Can you perceive into situations of life in such a way that u can write about it in a sense that everyone can understand? And the answer is YES! Everyone can. Unless you are an anti social caveman or woman that longs for nothing but a black utterly lifeless existance. Which basically means you have no experience in life. And from my standpoint even a 4 year old child has enough experience to write about things in life that other people can relate to.. So we all have it. Make it dark and decieving or happy and strait forward. Ask your friends, relatives, a person or stranger on the buss or subway. Or maybe the pizza man. The fact of the matter is that people that write songs mostly want to be heard in a sense.. So use whatever might be at your disposal. Im talking about PEOPLE here. Don't go asking your cat, dog or goldfish if your songs sound good. Cause we all know our pets are our number one fans. lol.. Now i dont claim to but some brilliant writer where subjects and words come to me flowing like the great Niagra. I just am enlightened enough to recognize my goals and focus on them while strengthening my weaknesses.. And you dont need to be Vain.. Lord knows u aint gonna get anywhere with an attitude like that. So kick some ideas around. Write now im talking with some pretty heavy hitters in the Country and southern rock industries and i hope one day my stuff can be heard and i can share it with the world and make millions of folks happy. So as I bid you farewell and wish every songwriter and artist my best wishes of luck, I ask you to do me the same. Musicians are all family members no matter what we can always learn from each other. goodbye my friends... ADVICE FOR ALL YOU ASPIRING SONG WRITERS OUT THERE…
