HERE IS MY PERSONAL PROCESS........... drink beer or a bottle of wine, then pick up a guitar...............doesnt matter if electric or acoustic......6 or 12 string..........then strum and see what words come out, and write the words down on something........napkin, match book or note book paper...............GO FOR IT
This is a cool method although I can write like this, I put music first. My writing has to start with a melody then I add lyrics. However most of the time I get a demo with everything in my head. Bass, vocals, drums, keys and even lyrics. Don't know how to explain it but that's how I have written most of my tunes, they just come to me and I can't force it.
awesome teaching ;] now I must add to my list of things to accomplish: Write a Hit Song, hahaha

Fittng the words to the song is called "phrasing".
I had an opportunity to meet John Ford Coley in Nashville.
He co-wrote Sumerbreeze, "Really love to see you tonight" as part of England Dan and John Ford Coley.
I asked him about that and he said just trust yourself and that it takes alot of work and practice.
Not much but it may help.

I've got around 100 lyrics.
But my problem is that I dont really know how to mix the lyrics with the song.
I just dont know how to "sing" the lyrics into the song.
Anyone has any advice or anything?
Thankz.

you should see if you need a hapy sound or a sad one and thjis will changed chords and harmony.....
also tension and distension is very important when choosing a chord. if you can learn some theory and harmony it will help a lot.

Hmm... good if your interests are commercial. I say being specific and portraying a real message is more important.
Thanks all the same :)
