"Girlfriend In A Coma" 2004-02-03 - 2:59 a.m. older - previous - next - profile - host - my band - my lj what an interesting day today Ruben and I had the closest thing to a fight we've had since starting this whole "band" thing over lyrics, actually see, we tried sitting down and writing lyrics to a song we had written and found out that we differ on our philosophies toward lyrics see, he likes simple; punk-y type lyrics like the Ramones and whatnot lyrics that just say what they mean and describe one situation lyrics that you could just sit down and write I, on the other hand, like more complex, deep, cryptic lyrics lyrics that, as I've found, you cannot just sit down and write so he used the argument everyone uses when you discuss how hard it is to write lyrics: "well, when you sit and listen to most bands' lyrics; you're like: 'man, these lyrics suck'" so I responded with the logical response: "I don't want to be one of those bands with sucky lyrics. I want to be one of those bands were you listen to the lyrics and think: 'man, these lyrics are awesome'" bands like Tool or Joy Division where the lyrics could mean any number of things; all of which could apply perfectly to almost anyone listening which is hard to do it takes a lot of though; creativity, and inspiration creativity comes and goes[and I've been feeling creative lately] but inspiration is disgustingly hard to find some people can just walk down the street and find inspiration wherever they look but it doesn't come that easy for me calling things at practice today an "argument" or even a "heated discussion" would be greatly exaggerating but we were at odds about something for a change so basically I ended up "pulling rank" as it were, and just saying: "I'm the singer; I'll write the lyrics by myself" so now I have to write the lyrics by myself ironically, I found inspiration on the drive home so hopefully I can mold that into lyrics and we won't have anymore problems with it in other news, I think Stephanie might be annoyed with me for flaking out of the picnic on sunday or possibly some other reason that I'm too stupid to catch but oh well hopefully she'll have more time to hang out in the near future and we can be bestest buddies again Adios Amigos here's the latest version of The Quiz: your life has just become a movie. fill in the songs that would play during the following: opening credits: Disorder by Joy Division party scene: Eighties by Killing Joke falling in love scene: Noisy Summer by The Raveonettes love love scene: Maps by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs after a break-up driving scene: Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down by Interpol driving to make-up the break-up scene: Girlfriend In A Coma by The Smiths plain old driving scene: A.M. 180 by Grandaddy chase scene: Reptilia by The Strokes fight scene: Main Offender by The Hives funeral scene: Waltz #2 by Elliott Smith closing credits: Time For Heroes by The Libertines � � |
