Anytime when writing poetry and songs are ok?

Is there ever a time writing poetry or songs doesn't come off as too much?

I'm a musician and find it so easy to write a song about a girl. It's all because of fvcking social conditioning from movies and ****. Is this EVER a good thing to do?

It sells. I wont buy it, but someone will. I find that the best lyrics are pure nonsensical poetry, that people try to find meaning behind, where there really is none. Write what you're good at, write constantly, and let the cream rise to the top. I've written hundreds. Some music, some lyrics and some both. Even if I have no talent, there is bound to be some good ones. It depends on what kind of music you play.

My opinion is that unique lyrics are the best, but mainstream music doesnt like unique, cuz then they have to find talented bands, instead of cramming so much mediocre garbage down the worlds throat, the they just have to replace the trendy bands, which is easy cuz they are a dime a dozen. thats a lot easier and cheaper then searching for truly talented bands and giving them a budget to do great production out of it. There will NEVER be another band like Zeppelin, even if a band has that kind of talent, because the record companies wont produce it.

Write whatever the hell you want. If its good, its good. Its not a bad move to have a couple AFC songs an album cuz people can relate to it.

Thats the ticket: Write lyrics that people can relate to.

First off, when it comes to girls, you have to embrace your individual style. That is what makes you stand out from all the other guys out there. So if you like to write a song or a poem about a girl, then do it.

It is true that the girl will interpret it as being too much IF you do it the wrong way. If you do it the wrong way, you will come off as too needy. and weak.

But if you have the correct mindset, you will do everything correctly naturally.. Remember, you are the Prize to be won. So you only write poems for high quality girls. Which girls are high quality girls?

Obviously, she has to have the looks and personality you like. In addition, you must have dated her for a good while and she has proven to you that she is worth your *creative expression.*

Simply ask yourself: 'Has she *earned* that beautiful poem you have written?'

Looking cute in a skirt does not constitute *earning* it from you.

Showing she values you over say a 6 month period, probably would constitute *earning* it from you.

In the end, just remember you are the Prize to be won and you will naturally write the poem at the right time and do it in the right way.
