pc....
are you guys hiring songwriters?
i wanna be a songwriters for you guys.
i'm not much of a composer but i can write.
yes...let me know what you got...I am so sick and tired of writing all these songs. Although AV members and our composer helps me with a few words here and there, it can be really nerve wrecking when you're at a loss for words. Especially hmong words...lol..theres only so much you can say and then the rhyming......the rhyming can be so damn hard.
We writers should get together! Writing has always been easy for me. As long as I can put myself into a situation then I can write what the person feels. For example... for the song "100 Xyoo "thats on the link.......I just had to put myself into the characters positions and think of how sucky it would be if the one person you finally fell in love with left you for someone else without any explanations. Once I did that then the words just sort of poured out....it did help that AV members and our composers helped on it too. the script for 3 Lub Tooj Npab was the same way. Each character just sort of came to life and it wouldn't let me stop telling their side of the story. Each charactter had to explain why they were such assholes and why they did the things they did...sometimes I had to tell all the characters to shut up so that i can finish writing what one character is telling me because it can get so confusing...lol....sounds nuts but I guess you have to be a writer to know what i mean...lol.....and so........that was why we ended up with an 8 hour long drama...
And don't worry about the composition. Before I started this whole thing..I knew nothing about music except a desire to have it written and sung in a certain manner...and the fact that I didn't want to get sued for copying other peoples music. I couldn't even tell a tone from a beat....lol... yes , I was that bad...and get this.....I couldn't even tell who was a good singer or not. I thought everyone can sing and to me they all sounded great too! lol
That was a year and a half ago...Boy did I learn on the fly! I can honestly say that at this point in time, I can tell right away if a person can or can't sing...if they're off beat/off tone,pitch or whatever.... so don't worry because you will learn.....OR
Just do what I do....I write the lyrics and then hum the melody (or at least what I think the melody should sound like) and give it to our composer. He's awesome....and can usually come up with parts of the song in a few days. Then we all sit and critique.....well...thats how we roll in the S.E.G. HOUSE anyways.... as of now I have about thirty or so lyrics written (not including the 10 we're using for our current drama). But like I said...I need fresh people and new talent to write for me. I can't do it all forever....I need that time to concentrate on running SEG. The more people we have on board to help us , the better it is for all of us.
Please pm me with your number so that i can talk to you!
