I'm writing a song but the title is already in another song. Can I still use the title?
Well, no one can sue you. Some people have already said this, but no one can license the name of a song, so you're free to name your song whatever you'd like. Be careful about using very distinctive phrases for your title, though. If you're going with a generic word or phrase (for example, "Yes"), no one's going to call you out for using the same song title as someone else (I have at least three songs in my iTunes called "Yes"). But some songs coin really distinctive phrases, and I'd recommend avoiding these (for example, "Don't let the sun go down on me" isn't the sort of phrase you should just drop into a song). If you use a really memorable line from another song as your title (another example, "Bohemian Rhapsody"), people are either going to see it as a reference to the original song, or plagiarism.If you're dead set on using a really familiar title, though, no one can actually do anything about that. Just be prepared for people to expect the original song and compare yours to it when you play it for them (if you told me you were playing a song called "Bohemian Rhapsody", and it's not the original, I'd be a little disappointed). Ultimately, you can't get in trouble over song titles, so you really do whatever you like. Now, if the actual song is similar another song, you can be sued for that.
How to write sad song lyrics?
A sad song does not have to be in a minor key (as opposed to the "happier sounding" major key) - this is a common misconception. Major key songs can be sad too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea8qsGDNZ... So literally pick any key and start playing. Have an idea of what your first line is going to be (maybe a question?) and just try and sing those words over what you are playing. Alternatively, sing the first line however you think it should go, and then fit the chords around it. I don't know how experienced you are musically, but I'm going to guess less rather than more...so how about you try these chords (in this order): F, Am, Bb, F Bb, Bbm, F, C7. Maybe throw a little of this in? F, A7, Dm, Dm Gm, C, F, F. The ending of the first set is called a "plagal cadence" and is often used in "sad" songs. The beginning of the second example is called a "tertiary modulation" and puts a slight uplifting feeling into a song - also very useful. Look up those things and try using them. As for the lyrics, you can try what I do...just think of a word or idea you want to put in the song, and then look it up an a thesaurus (http://thesaurus.com/) to find other ways of expressing it. Read sad poetry for inspiration too (http://100-poems.com/poems/sad/) for ideas. And after you have the basic ideas, this will help you fit it all together: www.rhymezone.com Oh, and write about things you know. If you actually feel the emotion in your songs then it will show.
How do I write complete song lyrics?
The best songs I have in my arsenal are the ones I didn’t write completely consciously.My writing process often ends up as follows:A single line will go through my headWrite it down.Grab my guitar and start messing with chords.Once I find a good chord progression (looping pattern), I start singing that single line over and over, trying to find a good rhythm for it.Then I’ll just start singing random words over it, whatever comes out.As much as I can help it I try to bypass my thinking and let the words come out from wherever they come out from (subconsciously).Sometimes the words make sense, other times they don’t. It’s okay when they don’t because I’m just sketching out an idea.Like drawing I’m just putting down light lines to get a general shape laid down. Once I’m satisfied with it, I’ll go back and darken the lines (edit and make the things more permanent).The only conscious decision I make is connecting the themes.For example, my song Nebuchadnezzar started with the line, “I’m sinking into your love again.”So I immediately took the concept of “sinking” and painted the next line: “I want to drown don’t want to float to the surface.”Then I took the concept of being on the “surface” and made a connection to definition of the word “superficial,” and that’s how I came up with the next couple of lines,“Where everything’s superficial,and I only feel happy ‘cause they said I’m supposed to.”So just through that process of quickly connecting words to pictures (also known as metaphors) I was able to sketch something meaningful pretty quickly.The same for the second verse:The intro line is “competition is king.”That line popped into my head and I knew immediately that I wanted to paint a picture of disdain for competition. So I zeroed in on the word “king” to find the punchline, “and I’ve been practicing up on all my blasphemies.”How did I get there? Because open disdain towards a king is called “blasphemy.”Pretty easy!Think of what kind of picture you want to paint with the song. What kind of attitude do you want to present? What kind of feelings do you want the listener to have?These things are invoked through emotions, which are invoked through images.Write from your subconscious. That’s where all the deep stuff is!

Bad things that little kids do that get them into trouble?
I'm writing a song and I need a little help. What are some things that little children do that get them into trouble (drawing on the wall, spilled milk, etc.) I can't seem to think of anything else. It doesn't have to be anything extreme, just a list of little things that they do because they don't know any better. And I'm talking around the ages of 3 to 6ish...preschool/toddler ages. Think of any little kids you know (siblings, nieces/nephews, cousins, or your own children, etc.) Thanks!! : )
If you were to write a song in 60 minutes, what would the lyrics be?
Ma Country-Western song would be called:“I’d Give A Dollar For A Quarter To Put In This Machine To Play The Song That Brings You Back To Me.”And it’d go a little bit like this: Hit it Boys!(Verse:)“My dog got Black Lung and he died in the mine,My shrink, he took his own life.I got a cut right hereOn ma bowlin’ finger,And my Mama ran off with ma wife.”Above: Ma Mama.Above: Ma Wife. (An’ Rugrat…least said ‘bout him…)(Second verse:)“When they left they drove off.In ma new pickup truckAnd ran over ma toes in the drive-way,But that’s Ok.‘Cause the gun rack was brokeAnd I only hadFourthousandsixhundredandseventytwo installments left to pay.”(Chorus:)“And I’m drivin’ to work in a Hyundai that’s junky,My face needs shaving’and my socks smell funky,I’m about to get laid off at the implement store,It’s the only kind of “laid” I know about anymore”(Third verse:)“Now I’m drunkand I’m brokeAnd the IRSSays their auditing every farm in the county.The Twins came in lastand the Vikings still suck,And they shot the “Hamm’s Beer Bear” for the bounty.But this jukebox still works but I ain’t got no changeAnd I know these things don’t work for freeSo I’d give a dollar for a quarter to put in this machineTo play the song that brings you back to me.(Chorus:)“And I’m drivin’ to work in a Hyundai that’s junky,My face needs shaving’and my socks smell funky,I’m about to get laid off at the implement store,It’s the only kind of “laid” I know about anymore”Thanks for reading my rant.
