I've been writing songs for about 7 years now. It's something that I love to do and recently I've gotten the chance to write with a few professionals. I write and sing country music mainly - modern country music. Is there...

dana_ann of course you can learn to read/write music! If you want to learn piano I'd suggest buying a couple of theory books to try and get the general idea what it's about. It takes a lot of practise and comittment to learn to read it, but if you keep at it you'll be...

OK, I have a little bit of a dilemma, being hugely unexperienced in this area... I like a guy and he has no idea... Do I tell him or wait and see what happens? I'm not sure if he's taken at the moment, but I plan on finding...

dana_ann Yah scary is the word... There's also an added complication since he lives about 3 hours away from me. Could be worse though, location wise. I'll just see what happens. Everything gets put on hold if he's already with someone though... Thanks for your response...

dana_ann Yes exactly. Although a lot of the time I'm just outshined by people with stronger personalities than me, but I guess that just gives me a chance to sit back and watch... which can also be a great thing...

dana_ann Somehow I already knew about your birthday being on Friday. Freaky... How many years young are you going to be? Music Festival should be awesome. Specially if you're going with Alex :P Speaking of Alex, I haven't talked to him in ages either. Is he coming up...

dana_ann Lol not all poems have to rhyme. Although often there is more challenge in writing ones that do. The great thing about songs is the words don't have to rhyme completely for it to sound good. Sometimes the same vowel sound is enough. And the other thing I love...

dana_ann I'm afraid I haven't heard of most of them. The exception is celine dion of course. I'm starting to get a bit more known in australian Country, but I'm still really young so it's hard to really go for it at the moment. Keep writing though. It's worth it :)

dana_ann Yeah, I know that feeling as well. I'm not particularly open. I suppose that's part of the reason why the situation above bothered me so much. I was just starting to make friends and then 'the person' came in and they forgot I existed again. I'm quite shy as...

dana_ann So you eat because you can't think of anything better to do? Lol. I do that, especially when I'm watching TV or sitting online with noone to talk to. At least you could be bothered to cook... I'm so lazy when it comes to kitchen work

dana_ann whoa... I feel very nicknameless now. Not even my sister has a nickname for me!! How sad. There's nothing wrong with talking about yourself. It's healthy. Especially since I know nothing about you anyway. :)
