  • You can write songs either way.

    I usually write the lyrics first then say them as I play chords to come up with the melody.

  • Brad Paisley: "the most effective songs are the ones written about the small things in life, because they take on the most meaning."

  • nice thanks dude

  • Who writes like this? people write because they're feeling some kind of emotion. And they write with a purpose. There should't have to be a lesson taught on this. If your gonna teach a lesson teach how to put the intro chorus and verse together.. Pleaseee
