I remember trying to write a song back in high school. I knew a little about music theory from taking piano lessons for five or six years. I understood different keys and what notes went with what keys. An example would be if I was playing in the key of C. The key of C is the easiest key to play on the piano. ( In my opinion.) The key of C is all white keys and no black keys. I had the desire but had not listened to or learned to play enough music for it to sink in. I can be a slow learner.
The first song I remember writing was a song called Feels so Right. If you noticed this is the same title as a song by the country band Alabama. Alabama had a lot of hits like Mountain music, Feels so right, Lady down on love, Forty hour week, etc. I cheated on my song. I kept the same melody and changed the words. My song told about a rough time in my life. Even though I was going through a rough time I was depending on God. My circumstances were very far from perfect but It feels so right.
I believe the hardest things we ever do in life is our first time. The first time that I rode a bike. The first time that I kissed a girl. The first time that I made it to the third level on Donkey Kong. Yes the list of first time adventures goes on and on. Go out and write that first song or run your first five K. You can do it. It gets easier after the first time. I learned that I can write a song and much more. You can do it too, just remember the first time is the hardest. There are lots of things I have never attempted or tried but yes, I can write a song.
