I want to write a nice song, but everytime I go to write it seems like I just blank out. I want to write a song about how I feel when I'm with my bf, how in love I am with him. But when I put words on paper and read 'em out loud...I fell like it's stupid. :/ Or lame...How can I get started? I'd like to write amazing lyrics like Owl City does, or Lights. Y'know people that have such beautiful music. Anyone able to give advice whom's had experience with song writing and such greatly appreciated! I'm 16 and a girl Oh yeah I play accoustic guitar, and am learning keyboard :P

Hey,
Song writing always comes from the heart and soul. When you are writing, try not to say that it is stupid. If YOU BELIEVE and have FAITH; it WILL work, no matter what.
You can get started by writing all your thoughts onto a page (or pages!). Say everything thats on your mind. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING; even the real simple things. You can always edit later. Do not leave out the simple things for,they always count the most in a relationship and are what are treasured forever.
Write your thoughts about love,your relationship,your time together,and everything He does that makes you: smile laugh live and love him for who He is. Write about the things He says that inspires you to truly live life and want to live it with Him. All songs start from your thoughts,your expieriences,your life,what makes you smile,and what makes your heart all warm inside ;)
It is awesome that you play accoustic guitar and are learning keyboard. Hopefully that will help inspire you as well.
Remember this: Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
