Pen and Paper with you ALWAYS. And when I say Always, Im serious!

I always have really cool song lyrics just POP in my head. Ill be walking to Burger King for gods sake, and an awesome guitar riff busts In my head and the lyrics just follow, something real nice ya know?
I always say.. Ill remember It, Ill remember It!
By the time you pick up the guitar... Its gone.

Its good to carry the paper, If anything, get a cell phone with a Mic on It, just kinda hum out the sound enough that the MIC can hear ya, It'll refresh your memory come time to form the song with your guitar.

know, I'm not the best song writer, I get maybe a few really good lines, and then my mind goes blank....
If anything, just wait a bit, come back....
Maybe call some hot chick (or guy for the girls out there), and ask her out for the hell of It, get some emotion In your blood, that adrenaline.
Then go write! IT WORKS!
The answer to the equation Is RAW EMOTION!!!

I agree with everything you said, right on!
