what inspires you to keep the juices flowing? like right now for me, i can't seem to play anything on guitar cuz i don't want to play other band's songs meaning i want to work on my band's songs, but i can't seem to do anything good. ever had a situation like this? what gets you back up on your feet and keep writing music (for whatever instruments you play)

When that happens to me I try to let my head rest a bit.
Then I listen to other stuff without thinking and after some time something comes to my mind again.

But that situation's hard, I know.

I write music first, lyrics last, and both come from unserious experimenting

when i need inspiration i go out onto the old abbandoned train bridge near my house.no-one ever goes up there cus its locked off so you have to climb over the fence the view is amazing and the words just come to you.its very inspiring to be out in the open at night and see the stars and all the lights on the cars on the roads.

ah lucky! i need one of those inspiration 'places', nothing is close to my house, just more houses. and i'm not even allowed to go out often (stupid asian parents...). but i do love sitting on a bench in the park or at a mall or something and write lyrics...kinda hard to write guitar stuff while on a bench without a guitar lol.

i just practice by writing short, 30-second songs (kinda like how Green Day wrote "Homecoming"Wink by writing the first sentence that comes to mind, then thinking of a catchy riff, then just finding whatever rhymes with it

Ever taken a piece of sheet music and turned it upsode down? That freaking rocks. It usually sounds reeeeally bad, but in a cool way...then just apply it. FUN Cool
