It is amazing how one can draw inspirations from daily life. Inspiration or ideas can just pop out from any where. What makes the difference is whether one can grasp it, see it... if he did, he may be able to make something out of it. Else, it simply diminished and nothing could be felt.
These days of in ICT, I got many ideas to pen some lyrics. Everything is still vague and nothing is concrete. Not entirely sure if it will works but I just not wish to forget it. Hence, I tried to record it down. I often thought music comes before words but I was thought otherwise. It can be lyrics that exist first before music or vice versa, melody may just flow out in mood, without any words.
For now, I have a melody to work on from Donald (though he doesn't remember it anymore). His idea for the song is very different from what I penned. Therefore, it did not work out then. The melody was inspired by A-Lin's song. I felt differently when I listened to the song.
Apart from that tune, I had 5 ideas in my bag on lyrical portion. Most, if not all, came from my personal experience or thoughts. Only one was inspired by a certain short film I watched days ago.
Though unsure about the final outcome, one thing for sure, I am enjoying the process so far... let the rest flow on its own, naturally... =)
