Where can you find Song Inspiration?

Many people ask "how do you get the inspiration for a song?" The answer: pretty much anything can. Helpful ideas:

10-001. SONGWRITING INSPIRATION - journaling. If an idea comes, write it down! Many songs aren't written until months after the initial idea... which was re-found by flipping through a journal. Any notebook, including electronic ones, that works for you.....

10-002. SONGWRITING INSPIRATION - nature.
Just look around you for fun or for deep song ideas! The humor song HERE KITTY was inspired by calling two cats that were both crying for me: one came, the other didn't. Add some personal concept message, and you've got a great song foundation!

10-003 SONGWRITING INSPIRATION - Books of quotations
Books full of quotes can jog a lot of lyrics ideas. Be wary of recent authors; their material probably is copyrighted. Thomas Hardy's old poem inspired the autobiographic reflections that turned into the song using Hardy's title -- IMPERCIPIENT (Amazing Big Words 'n' Big God album, at www.DiDoReflections.com).
