A Song is both chords and lyrics.

If you add one and rid the other then it is not a song.

It would be either a Symphony or just Lyrics.

I am not a fan of Nashville or the Country music tradition.

I write full songs with chords and lyrics both.

I used to idolize Garth Brooks for songwriting,yet after finding pages of lyrics with no chords on any of them.I actually stopped liking him or listening to them.

He is mostly a lyricist anyways.

What he said once was along the lines of:

Mark wants me to just let the studio musicians change my song without me having any say.

Mark told him: Let the Studio Musicians do their thing and don’t question them.

This is stupid and crazy at it’s worst.

To me if you know an instrument well enough then you can play it well enough to add chords onto a page of a sheet of paper with lyrics,yet anybody who condemns this is a real fool.

They view artistry as stupidity and have no business directing musical ventures at all.

Garth said a stupid thing one time: Playing a guitar is like being in the Olympics and there might be better guitarists than myself.

Well he must not that good at guitar them.

Garth also said another stupid thing some time:I mostly uses my guitar to cover his belly.

I actually on the other hand know guitar enoough to write good songs with chords and lyrics both in them and at times I’ll play and the songs are known to me thoroughly and I play them with ease.

I cannot stand Garth who told a weatherman to keep his day job because the weatherman wrote it all himself and had it all wrote down too.

I am glad that I got this off my chest finally.

Thank you all for every view and like thatbyou have given me.I appreciate it all.

Below is my song “I Still Have Light” as an Example of how a Song should be done.Not that you need to write songs with the same messages or the same chords,yet you need to write a song with both chords and lyrics though.

Here is my own hand written song that I alone made myself titled “I Still Have Light”:
