I have been stuck on a song, not getting past the chorus, for over a month and I think it is because it is too personal. I’m going to try taking myself out of the picture and see if I can finish it. Oh and loved the ‘I am the boss of my songs” line.

Thanks, Ken.
Sounds like you might have a good one there; definitely a good opening line! I look forward to hearing it.
Best wishes,
Tony

My songs are autobiographical or semi auto. For the most part, their true, but sometimes the climax of the song isn’t very telling or interesting, or in some cases it’s so true I can’t share this much at this time in my life (personal thing). I like your approach and it’s simular to one that I’m taking at this time. I’m writing about two people, one like the other but can’t approach the other because they are in a relationship with someone else. I used a “Letter” approach. The opening line being, “If I had to write a letter, this is what I’d say.” It goes on to tell how one feels about the other, etc… because this is true in the sense it’s happended to me before, I have to come up with the rest of the song from a source other than my experiences. When I finish it I’ll post it.
Thanks for your insight!
