I approached this week's song a little differently. I'm sort of experimenting with different ways to create a song. This week I tried to keep the melodic and chord structure simple...I guess they're always simple, but this week with it's simple with intention. Then I went after the lyrics with the idea of a non-existant rhyme scheme. Sure there are a few rhymes here and there, but I stayed away from ABAB and other more traditional schemes. The result was something a little off MY beaten path. Probably not so unusual for some writers.
This week's song is called "Never Had a Reason". I took the idea for the lyrics from a realationship that I was in a long time ago where the girl I was dating cheated on me...more than once...and was LESS THAN COOL TO ME. Really, she was crazy! i was was young and stupid and hadn't figured out yet that college was for cheating and being cheated on...isn't that right?
It sort of stems from the idea that the person who is cheating is the person who accuses the other person of cheating. If you can't trust yourself, you can't trust your partner. If your the one being faithful, you generally don't think about the other person being unfaithful. At least that's the way that I've found things to work.
