So I write music in my spare time. It's probably not going to change the world, but I'm happy with it and I definitely think that some of them are really very good.
It's all in Japanese (except for a few), and it ranges from J-pop to progressive death metal. I've written about 24 songs but now I'm starting to encounter problems...
Problem 1: I'm writing too many slow/soft songs
This was great at first when I had no songs written down. However it seems to be all I can write (the only consolation is that they are all completely different). Don't get me wrong, I'm immensely proud of some of the riffs and melodies I have come up with, but it's stating to become the only thing I can play when I touch a guitar.
Problem 2: When I try to write heavy songs, I can only play deathcore
The title says it all really. Maybe it's because I'm 'trying' and not letting it come naturally. Whenever I kick on the distortion the only things I can play are either the riff from 'The Final' by DIR EN GREY or Nu-metal/Deathcore. I don't even like the last two genres of music. This is really annoying, as so far I have only written one heavy song I am happy with, and that took influence from Kabuki music.
Problem 3: All my lyrics are too similar
All. My. Lyrics. Are. About. Love. All of them. Whether its breakups, falling in love, killing your ex, stalking, ANYTHING to do with love, I've written a song about it. I just can't write anything else! Well actually that's a lie, I've written TWO songs about 'being yourself'. I am happy with these lyrics, and I think they have deep meanings behind them (they're not pop music style lyrics about love, but I want to move away from this...
Well that's it, and this is the end of probably one of the most pointless posts I have ever written. :D
