I started writing songs mid 2019 and haven’t stopped since. During the pandemic, I was too tired at the end of a work day to focus on lyrics but wanted to keep practicing writing and playing, so I started searching public domain poems online and made a practice of just grabbing a poem, reading the first few lines for the rhythm and mood, and then speed writing. My average time to completion is 15 minutes. I record from the start and play till I have a song. The fastest song I’ve posted here took 6 minutes to write, the longest 23 minutes. I’ve written music to over 100 poems and am getting around to posting them all. A little rough in places - some of these I’ve only played a couple of times - but I thought the result was interesting enough to share.
