How would you cope?

 As i said in my previous post, ultimately once i have spread the word and hopefully others have as well, i would like to use my music to help others with their problems.  Just as i did about a year ago.

How would you cope with someone close to you dieing?  How would you cope with stress and anger building up?  How would you cope with depression?

I had all of the above and for quite a while i went a little bit off the rails, but then i sat down with a pen and a pad of paper, as i had always wanted to write a song, i just didn't know how.

Then i just started writing and couldn't stop!  All of a sudden there was all this stuff written down that i had no idea i felt, but believe me, once i had written it down i felt so much better!  Now if i am ever stressed, i write down what is bothering me and then i feel fine.  Sometimes i even read it back a couple of days later and just laugh!

Not everything i write down can be written into a song, but some things can be used for the basis of a song and that's what i do.  Once the lyrics are written into the song format i then make the music.  You can gauge the mood of the song from the lyrics so then you make music the same sort of sound otherwise it wont sound very good to have quite a happy song to really low 'moody' music.  Then it all just comes together from there!

I want to be able to do the same for others.  So many people have told me that they don't know how to write a song but then when i ask if they have ever tried, most of them haven't.

Give it a go.......or get in touch, let me help!  

It works, i did it!
