Songwriting For Dummies??
Yea.. Finally decided to go down to town and find something new which I can do.. Commented on my last post that I want to learn more about composing.. But I'm too lazy to go for courses on composing.. So I went for the next best option: Learn how to compose on my own.. Went down to Takashimaya and got myself a book titled "Songwriting For Dummies"..
Really wanted to learn how to compose a song right from the very basics to the end product.. Hope that I can understand what is written in the book so that I can put what I've learnt to good use.. Actually I've already composed 3 songs so far, without any musical knowledge.. Not sure if they make any sense to people who know music theory, but what I can say is that I wrote those 3 songs with my true feelings.. Each of the songs are of great sentimental value to me, cause each of them represent the different phases of my life..
Why do I say so? That's because these 3 songs are written for 3 different girls who appear at different parts of my life.. So far my inspiration for writting songs came from these 3 girls who crossed path with me at this point of my life.. But sadly, I'm not fated to be together with any of them.. It's just my one-sided, unrequited love for them.. Let me sidetrack a little.. The song on my blog, Infection, is about unrequited love, as told by Chihiro Onitsuka on her concert in the year 2002(saw this in an article on the web).. Hence I decided to put the song on my blog..
I think I'm getting a little too sentimental over here.. Should stop now.. Hope to get my inspirations from other things in future.. Till then, I'll get back to reading my "Songwritting For Dummies"..
