Do you write the lyrics and vocal lines for your music?
If so, what method do you use?
I have always had zero interest in writing lyrics/vocal lines but two recent events presented that role to me and, while it's been a real challenge, I have been enjoying it:
The first event was the availability of the singer/collaborator I used on the last album. Gary is very busy launching his own band right now and rather than wait, I decided to hire a session singer. That means I need to provide both the lyrics and completed vocal guide tracks.
The second event was reading Yngwie Malmsteen's autobiography, Relentless. I found the book to be very inspiring to me as a solo artist and there are a lot of lessons to be learned from that book if you read between the lines.
So, I put it to you: how do you write vocal lines and lyrics for your songs ?
