ASC Pt. III

I want to change my songwriting approach. I've got a bunch of songs right now without any lyrics and I'm really desperately looking for a concept. Right now, the only song I have an idea of is going to be called "Tell me where'd you go?" It's sounding nice, but for some reason I don't know if I can write about heartbreak and the pondering of a relationship anymore... I'm still up for love and all, just in a different vein I guess, because I'm so proud and still love a lot of my older songs.

I'm 24 years old... did you know that Brian Wilson was 24 when Pet Sounds was released? Fucking nuts, huh? 24 years fucking years old... I'm the same age and I'm still in school and I'm watching Clueless in class next week. What the fuck is wrong with me? Rivers was 26 when he wrote and recorded Pinkerton so I'm still giving myself 2 more years before I go completely go over the hill.

I think the concept for the next few songs is going to be of a guy trying to get on with his life after a bad break-up, but there are still moments of regret and looking back at what he was lost. It will be weird not to write about her, but I want to. Here are song ideas...

1) Questioning love? Have I ruined my life? Am I just chasing a dream?
2) Wants to see a new girl, but there is still residual feelings for an old one.
3) Seeing something that reminds him completely of her
4) A song about letting go... really letting go.
5) Going to see her and it breaking his heart that she's with someone else.
6) A crush on a new girl, even if he likes her, he's still too shy to speak (Too shy to speak and too sad to try?)
7) Why can't I be making love come true?
8) Wondering if she's thinking about him too?
9) A golden girl song... seeing a new girl and thinking the world of her
10) Meeting someone else that's been hurt too and it being nice to talk to them
11) A straight edge song
12) Cleaning up my life, but it falling short...

Feel free to comment on this... I would love some input.

Song recomendation: You Still Believe In Me by the Beach Boys. I don't know if I've ever mentioned this before, but my all time favourite song is Weezer's Across the Sea and the intro to this Beach Boys song kind of reminds me of it.
