is it a bad idea? i seem cursed by doing it, whenever i write a song for a girl, it seems to curse us about 70% of the time. i'm pretty sure i could compile an album worth of music i have written for girls. i just finished a 40-minute cd today of music i wrote for a female friend of mine who is going through drama and personal strife, that i have dubbed "Catharsis." it is all synths, no drums or timbre, just four tracks, each hovering around ten minutes a piece, just pure ambient. anyways, i'm thinking it's a bad idea to write music for people you care about, but maybe i'm wrong. people tend to inspire me though. in fact, soon i will write a song for my favorite listener, mr. lee schulster! :D |

if you're sure you have nothing to say, it not. right. |

it's a good idea to make the music, but it's not necessarily appropriate to actually give it to the person or tell them about it. |

anyways, i'm thinking it's a bad idea to write music for people you care about, but maybe i'm wrong. no, you're right. when you write music "for" anyone or anything - you usually compromise, don't you. well, the more writers - the more approaches to writing. right. |

I once wrote a track for qrter but I never gave it to her. |

Aw. |

Its I nice idea to write music for people. It can make them uncomfortable, because that is quite a thing to do for someone. Usually its best to let them hear it, and have a copy of it, without telling them its for them. Then the pressure and encroaching uncomfortableness is gone. |

he does his radio show every week and each track he plays is introduced "for -A-". true story. |

I always regret it later, and look back on it and feel like a cock. Ive given a girl music who thought it was for her when really I was just showing off my best tracks. eep |

Unless they say it's shit and then tell you they have got a rude joke and proceed to say "How many niggers does it take to take out a lightbulb." |

Generally a bad idea. But writing music about girls in general seems to be a good idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sounds logical. |
||||||||
|
|

it's alright but you can be so emo |
||||||||

i couldn't make one of my fucked up electronic shit tracks thinking "it's for my sylwia". i sure can make her some mix cds of some cool tracks every few months, .....but experimenting with some shit mad beats and in the meantime thinking "she will like it" ?? it's too much i think. |

you know you made the good song when your gf brakes up over it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha yeah that's true - though i've written decent stuff after breakups too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's worked ok till now, just don't make the track a full symphony with a 17minute overture |
||||||||
|

Lies...I show my support and listen to his on-air shindig! -A- |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well, it's not like i wrote a "i love you and marry me" track. just ambient music for her to relax to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
emo |
||||||||
|
|

make a mix tape. Of bad emo. She'll love it. Put some strokes in there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sing about shopping and hair. that will go down well. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

yeah, just ambient. what is wrong with that? |

I wrote an entire EP about a girl I was infatuated with in high school (she was in junior high though). I never told her about it, although I gave copies to some of my friends. Sometimes certain people can be very inspiring, although I find it's usually times and places that are most inspirational. |

I so agree with r40f in this situation.... you can write about people, but does anyone need to know who what song is about ? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
girls find it very flattering |

i feel like writing music "for" girls is a scummy thing to do. i mean, it's a bit narcistic isn't it? you're giving her this song, expecting that she loves music and that music means the world to her like it does to you, and maybe she would rather be treated like a full on human with thoughts and the need for regular human to human talking and feedback. writing songs for someone is totally impersonal and doesn't address them as a human. it's fine to write songs "about" people and inspired by people, but your target audience has to be more then one person. if someone came to me claiming that they wrote this one song JUST for me and that I should appreciate it, my initial reaction would be like, "fuck off i'll listen to the music I want to listen to." what i'm saying is just because you two click and all that doesn't mean they're gonna dig you're songs and stuff, songs aren't personal like that... what the fuck am i saying? i guess writing a song "for" someone is just a silly romanticized idea. if it works for you and her then great, though i would never see it working for me. |
