Number of unfinished songs

Jose · 7th December 2009

You catch a nice progession of chords, melody, you think that it will be a hit, but you never finish it, looking for perfection...

Sounds familiar?

I've got about 150 unfinished songs.I am not telling you good songs...

And you?

Over 70. *Sigh*...

What's the prob ?? lyrics, melody, hook , arrangement , self belife?? i find it easier to rip something off or do a "in the style of blah blah" or hook up with somebody who has the missing link

no man is an island

It happens, right now i have bunch of unfinished songs... They will get finished one day, probably when the time is right.... Sometimes all i need to is to flesh it out with a drummer, or someone else....

God me too ...

I have to be TOTALLY in the mood for writing lyrics and that's once in a blue moon, so I have so many songs lying around with the gobbledygook lyrics that spew out of me when banging the vocal melody down.... Of course the problem is that I eventually get to actually LIKE my nonsense ramblings and it sounds a bit weird when I eventually get around to putting genuine lyrics on...

I'm sure you've all experienced THAT one ....

We may need a 'collaboration' thread..!

ianbryn11 · 7th December 2009

thats funny... i actually have songs where ive made up words and kept em, cause i liked the way they sound... **** what was one?..... oh, it was a great made up word, and i cant remember it for the life of me... Itll come back to me....

ianbryn11 · 7th December 2009

on another note, one of my favorite words i ever made up was "Denacias" It means "thank you" and "your welcome" in spanish.... haha

Well, you know, nowadays many people is making everything, from drums to mastering.It is not easy to finish projects and very easy to get stucked and start new songs...That's my case.Advices are welcome.thumbsup

Gracias=Thank you

De nada=You are welcome

I feel envy for you living in such a great place like NY it is, I'd like to be there to listen and enjoy some real american music, I love it.

436.

crap.

ianbryn11 · 7th December 2009

ahhh. maybee it should be two words then "De Nacias"... That actually looks much better.

And yea, NY is pretty great. I have heard wonderfull things about Barcelona as well... Im sure the music there is equally as good...Just different...

Just 436?Well, maybe in your next life.

I've developed a very effective scheme where I just spend months and months before I get to the point of leaving a song unfinished. This greatly limits the number of unfinished songs I will have. You see, there's such a fine line between genius and not genius.

Well, here there are many good musicians, but little culture about "good music".We've got many pseudoartists coming from tv like american idol.There are just a few places in barcelona with live music, the major wants to keep it silent, this city is becoming just for tourism.It is hard to find good instruments at a good price, many of us are buying gear outside spain because of the price.Germany and UK are good places.

Believe me, you are lucky to be there and be able to have all that US stuff at fair prices.

ianbryn11 · 7th December 2009

Yea, NYC is a pretty amazing place. I do feel very lucky to live here....

antoniosolo · 7th December 2009

Par for my course....until the right artist, and inspiration strikes.

Nolet · 7th December 2009

Guess I'm a luxurious position: I have so many finished songs I don't have the time to record them all...that's also crap....

This used to be different though...endless loops and snippets laying around. Nothing with a head and a tail.
