I'm not really in a position to collaborate so I've no idea if that would help, though I suspect my rather passive personality which is causing my frustration would just cause me to completely back down and close up in a two person scenario as that's usually what's happened in the past when I've tried to join in with anything.
Sorry, I should abandon this topic I think! Sorry all

There's a song called Sayonara Judge - the verses are lists of stuff he's losing:
Losing my face, losing my friends, losing my temper
Losing my place on the map, losing my home
Losing my January to December
etc.
He lifts is from being a straight list with the sort of surreal pathos that is his style - but plenty of songs start life as lists.
Keep writing until the flow of ideas dries up.
Only edit or make corrections after the flow of ideas has dried up. Maybe, even, leave an interval between writing and revising.
On the music side, it is usually easier to fit chords to accompany a melody than the other way about.

Anyway, I've been listening to Bright Eyes today (the band, not the Arty Garfunkel song) and it has motivated me to try harder and see what approaches above might get me somewhere near that

So if we can write a song about that pretentious story line...you should be able to write one about just about anything right?
*more details are available on our wiki...if you can find it.
So, I'm guessing that keeping it simple, helps people to relate to the content.
What do you do at night when you get home? How do you feel about it? How do you see the world around you? Do you think you're in the minority? Etc, etc
