Hello everyone! Missed you guys and hope everyone is doing well :) but I had a job this semester and barely even had time to eat. I still have managed to get little ideas down here and there.. and am still actively trying to find a band. My question is though, I have all these scraps of ideas, but I barely finish any of them. I think part of it is that most times I am just sitting down, fooling around, and don't have a concrete image of what I want to create. Do you guys set yourself deadlines? Tell yourself to write a song in 10 minutes? Any suggestions to help me out would be greatly appreciated. Also, these bits and pieces seem to have no relation to each other. It may be that I use garageband and it's soooo easy to make the same instrument sound completely different from the last track. But how do albums hold the same sound throughout the tracks? Am I still just kind of finding my sound? Thanks so much <3 as walways

Are there any standards about how long the verse should be? Especially when compared to the chorus. My problem is that when I write lyrics, my verses are about the same size as the choruses, i.e. short. Is it okay to have short verses or should the verses be longer than choruses? Also, are there any other rules for verses? Also, sorry if I am in the wrong thread. Point me to the right one. 1 person likes this
