• Answer:

  When I write a song I usually have something that I am strongly feeling to share with others. Sometimes I hear the music in my head while the words come to me. Other times I write a poem or a story and then look for the right notes to follow the feeling of what I have written. I find it helpful to tape record my songs while I am writing them so I do not forget exactly how it came out when it felt perfect. I mostly write songs in spanish but I have one spiritual country song I wrote to praise the Lord. Many people write with a partner if one is better at music and another is better at words. The main thing is if you have something you feel strongly about share it with the world.
