Keeping it fresh

DixonBainbridge · 2009-11-15 14:04:52

Do you ever get to a point when you're writing songs that everything you write sounds quite samey or bland and nothing sounds fresh and exciting? I find that when I write songs I get like that sometimes, when I don't write something that excites me, I won't let anyone hear it. Do you have any methods to "shake things up"…

Do you have any methods to "shake things up" and keep the ideas flowing? At the minute i'm struggling to write anything new because when I strum chords on the guitar and try and work out a melody it just doesn't get me excited. It's not writers block as I have ideas flowing but can't seem to find a tune for them that i like. It seems to be one or the other for me, I'll find a great tune but can't put words to it, or i'll get a great idea for lyrics but can't get a tune to it.

Post your methods in here.
