Every time I try to write a song it feels like I just stole a Melody from another song and added my own words. Have you ever dealt with this? if so how did you get over it?
the more context you give it, the more likely that it will find it's own identity. make a brief scenario or situation, for the song to lend itself to and sing about. suddenly everything now has a sense of purpose. It's like when cars have that same old 4 wheel layout, (2 in the front, 2 in the back.) pretty boring, until you realize all the places that car could be going
