April 3-Ms. Zaryski and I met today concerning the process of writing lyrics. This has obviously been the most difficult part for me so far, so it was good to bounce ideas off of someone else.
As a choir teacher, Ms. Zaryski has arranged many songs for choir-which includes composing original lyrics. She described how lyrics typically take the form of the lyricists personality; this is why her lyrics are typically goofy.
She suggested carrying around a notepad and simply writing down words that I liked the sound of, then I could go back later and just speak the words until a rhythm appeared and I could start to piece things together.
So far, I have words such as:
opportunity
red and gold
dreams
carry on
journey
forth
This has given me a good starting point to work with, so hopefully something will come of it!
