I have been gone but now I'm returned to my first love, scribbling on a peace of paper and calling it a song. But I'm no singer, no. No I am not. I'll find the melody - You can sing to it ;)
The triangle, maybe.
I find the lyrics in the music and rely on my experiences, good or bad, to find the words. It can sometimes get pretty dark but there's always a rainbow at the end of the road.
A pen and a piece of paper.
I grew up listening to 70's and 80's music. But I keep up with the new and love intricate lyrics to a song.
Definitely give me some Duran Duran, Styx and Def Leopard.
I guess Peter Gabriel is one of my favorites, I grew up with so many one hit wonders it's hard to say which ones had the most effect on me.
I range from children's songs to heavy metal if needed be. Sorry no rap although a line or two never killed me. If the music is decent than I can write some lyrics to it.
I'm was a cat. I sleep all day and like it when people play with my hair.
