What a wonderful long weekend of 4 days! These days after freeing myself from my gaming hobby, I suddenly have lots of free time for book reading, movie/TV/DVD watching, vocal practice, and most importantly song writing. Each year I have a soft target to achieve. That is, to write 1 song per month. That works [...]

I asked my friend GS to give me 10 things that struck her mind when I mentioned a word (not going to reveal here as I believe every song has to be interpreted in the audience’s own way). Her reply was: happiness, stressed, tired, guilty, euphoric, competitive, anticipation, dread, confusion, frustration. Here is the lyrics [...]

Statistic On Song Writing
January 23rd, 2006 No Comments
Just some useless statistics. You see, when I write songs, I write the lyrics and chords on a notepad. Usually I will type them out nicely into Words format as well as updating an Excel spreadsheet in order to keep track of what I have written. Over the year, I have become lazy and just [...]

God knows why, an inspiration hit me yesterday and I care less about messing the whole place up (as wife not in town), wires were everywhere. Worst still I have decided to use my Sequencer to give me an usual drum beat temp of 115 (my songs are usually 72-ish and 148-ish). It is not [...]

One New Song

I did not expect myself actually writing a song tonight. True, during the day, I had an idea and when I shared it with JT, it kind of grew on me. There and then, I have come up with the song title “I Diminish You” written from the mind of an elitist. Tonight, I was [...]

Oh My God! I just don’t believe it. Jason and I have come out with some whacky ideas and after hours of practicing at home, I have taken up the courage to face up the challenge. True, I have this strong urge to write songs because I have not been doing that for a very [...]
