Yeah, I don't blame you. A lot of my music was written about a girl that I really liked, but who didn't like me "that way." Depressing, but at least it inspires good music...:kroll:

Hah.. well not always "good" music, but music nonetheless!

There is one thing that has always bothered me about writing music though.. it's the fact that I usually only like the songs I write that are based on my relationships. When I write a song about other stuff.. they always turn out dumb, but most of my girl songs are ones that end up really getting into. Ahh well, maybe it's just me.

I don't think it's just you. Over half the songs in almost any genre of secular music has to do with romance. It's what really gets our emotions going. That's the way God wired us, and I'm okay wth that. Love is so awesome and emotional and everything, that it's easie to write music about that than something else.

I'd like to hear someone actually play one of Mike Portnoy's (Dream Theater) drum solos.

Of course you'd need an insanely huge set such as his. His current set going on the road with the Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulance tour has 3 bass drums. I think he can go fast enough with two.

Heh... I usually write about random stuff.... usually ends up sounding like Tool's Jimmy. Minus the cussing, of course...
