Check out fruityloops.com and head over to the forum. You'll find lots of writer/producers working in the rap genre. You could either post a request looking for a collaborator or find someone whose music you like and contact them with a PM. - Robin Kat - Wed, Apr 23rd, 2008 6:57 AM PDT Hey! Thanks for this. I had an urge to write a song as I often do As it helps me express emotion And I do it often. But this is my best yet [I hope!]. Using your site really helped. Unfortunately I've never managed to get the hang of instruments So I only write lyrics But this really helped. Thanks a lot . My song name came to me whilst at school. Watching the "queen bee" and her friends. "She's too intoxicating" seemed perfect for a title. I was also really impressed that at 15 I still managed to understand the advice you were giving. Thanks once again Kat x Kat, I'm impressed, too! - Robin JUST M & ELMER - Fri, Apr 18th, 2008 9:53 AM PDT OOOOH HOW THE SOUL CAN REACH AND NEVER TOUCH~~~~~~ THANK YOU, I HAVE A FULFILLED SENSE OF BEING WITH A PARTICULAR ONE BY READING THIS. Laura - Sun, Apr 6th, 2008 11:53 PM PDT Wow. Just... wow. I've been having writer's block for about a year now. My sister and I have been tossing around the idea of starting a band- we're both trained in music, and it seems like a lot of fun- but the problem was original music. We've been trying and failing to write songs for ages. I bookmarked your "how to write a song" page weeks ago but my pride kept putting me off reading it. Boy am I glad I did- within two hours I had the lyrics to "Perpetual Darling" drafted and ready for a melody. THANK YOU! Anthony Longo - Sat, Apr 5th, 2008 5:07 AM PDT Hi Robin, Too bad you don't have any courses in North Carolina Nery Martinez - Fri, Apr 4th, 2008 2:10 PM PDT Thanks for such a wonderful way to show me how to write music, now I can't listen to a song without thinking what you thought, thanks! keep the good work I know I will be writing cool songs! hit songs!

Luanne - Wed, Mar 19th, 2008 6:58 AM PDT This is an inspirational site for me. I've written and had a book published. It's my first publication of poetry. My work is said to be lyrical in nature. I hope to learn much through this site. Luanne M. Alvarez-Slater author of SOUVENIRS Timothy Mcdade - Wed, Mar 12th, 2008 12:25 PM PDT Hello Robin For a while I have been listening to some of your songs. I really love them, so full of thought and deep emotions. I would really like to do one of your courses. I would like to start writing songs as a hobby. Thank you for all the information here. It's great. Hi Timothy - Thanks so much for letting me know you like songs. It means a lot to me! If you're interested, I give song feedback and do some teaching online at SongU.com. - Robin Alberto Skotinio - Sun, Mar 2nd, 2008 4:02 PM PST You help me SO much I cant describe it in words. I will visit your website again. Thank you! Freeman - Tue, Feb 26th, 2008 3:16 PM PST You make my day! John Svid - Mon, Feb 25th, 2008 5:11 PM PST Wow great site! Some really helpful information there. I´m sorry for little off-topic, but I want to ask you about design of this site. Did you make this template yourself or got from any templates website? Looks pretty cool for me. Wonderful well this reading. Hi John - My name is Julie and I designed the site from scratch along with some other fans of Robin's. Templates? I wish! - Julie T. Bob Tighe - Sat, Feb 16th, 2008 7:39 AM PST Hello Robin (I hope this gets to you): I put your name in a search engine, because I was actually trying to find the music (chords, tab) to the song Rendevous, which I really like a lot. I've had it for years on a Higher Octave sampler, but just can't quite figure out the guitar chords for it. I haven't found this info (yet?), but I was surprised and pleased to learn that you were the author of Been Smokin' Too Long. According to the liner notes/booklet with the Nick Drake CD's, it was written by "a friend"--now I know who! The reason that interests me is that for many years I've been playing that song (not professionally, I'm just a closet musician), but changed slightly to be more appropriate to MY lifestyle. In case you're interested, here are my added/altered lyrics to "Been Drinkin' Too Long": 1st and 2nd verse stay the same, except: So tell me, tell me what have I done wrong? Ain't nothing going right for me Must be I've been drinking too long Verse 3 I got a hip flask in my pocket, glass in my hand I get so HIGH sometimes, feels like I'm never gonna land Verse 4 My legs are feeling wobbly as I walk to the door Next thing I know I'm looking up from the floor Verse 5 Now in these blues I've singing there's a lesson to be had: Don't go around drinkin' and you won't feel so bad Anyway, hope you might find that mildly entertaining (and maybe even sing it that way sometime--if I had the equipment I'd make a recording of my version & send it to you). And if you can possibly send me the chords for Rendevous that would be much appreciated. Thanks for the great music. Bob p.s. I'm actually pretty exclusively a beer drinker so verse 3's not real apropos--but a flask fits better than a bottle in my pocket! Chris J - Mon, Feb 11th, 2008 4:19 AM PST Hi:) I'm new to song-writing, and I thought what you said about writing lyrics was really helpful. I still keep it in mind, along with others' advice, when I try valiantly to do so. Thank you for the article, and the website. I'll definitely check back in, often. Thank you, Chris! I send monthly songwriting tips and links to my email list. I'll add your address. Hope that's okay with you.

Hi vks - If you're looking for a collaborator or want to find out more about writing your own songs, check out SongU.com where you can take inexpensive songwriting classes or visit the forums at MusesMuse.com. - Julie T. michaeldoman. that's who. - Tue, Feb 5th, 2008 12:13 AM PST hello? are we ever gonna talk or get together again? do you have time? are you doing okay? wanna hear/record/critique some new songs... and maybe a couple old ones? wanna make some easy money? well? have i driven you crazy? are these too many questions? can u reply? can i get witness? can you hear me knocking? can i come in? is this stupid yet? vincent bellmont - Fri, Feb 1st, 2008 7:36 AM PST Just a note to say I really enjoy your music/beautiful voice to listen to. All the best, Vincent Henny - Mon, Jan 28th, 2008 6:51 AM PST A great resouce, Robin - thank you. I only started playing the guitar about 6 months ago, and only know a few chords, but I wrote my first song in the three days following reading through your site. I have critiquers picking apart the lyrics right now, no means with which to record the song, and I can't sing for toffee, but, hey, it was fun, and I'm starting on my next song. sammie - Wed, Jan 23rd, 2008 6:01 AM PST thanks for your generosity to give us such info. Roberta Fosterv - Fri, Jan 18th, 2008 3:17 AM PST Wow great site! Some really helpful information there. I´m sorry for little off-topic, but I want to ask you about design of this site. Did you make this template yourself or got from any templates website? Looks pretty cool for me Keyclonlell - Fri, Jan 11th, 2008 6:16 PM PST Make peace, not war! Shemaia - Fri, Jan 11th, 2008 2:58 PM PST Greetings Robin,Thanks for your offerings, info and musings. Although I have been performing and writing many, many many songs for a few decades now though I only recently have returned to any interest in offering my musical incantations and mastery to the larger "commercial" arena. My son and also musician (Reece Mon Vibes / my space) is currently helping me get on "my space." I am a sage and a fledgling all at once. thanks for your words of resonance especially your words on muses and poets and such....... with respect and gratitude, Shemaia Next page >> |
