Title
Songwriting Workshop

Do you realize I spent all day yesterday singing "And try not to make a repetitive chorus, it's wasteful of words and a bore" over and over and over and over???

Fantastic! But you forgot one other important detail: never write anything in 3/4 time.
shoebox - Jan 14, 2009
Yeah, but where do you get all your ideas? :)
Oh, and Sisyphus: SHUT UP AND WALTZ!
