Usually I like coming up with my own songs, but lately I've just been devoid of any inspiration...I have a alot of fun playing the guitar, but I find myself just playing covers rather than new stuff or stuff I've written for myself to sing (I have written songs that seem like someone else should come up with words to). Latley I've been playing keyboard more than guitar, and while I enjoy creating interesting new sounds, it feels like I can't come up with any good songs on their either.

So what do you guys do when starved for inspiration?

You just did it. You just wrote a good song.

"Gotta kill myself to be immortal"

that is a cool line. write the rest of the lyrics, then write the chords and stuff later.

Oh? What part of Pittsburgh are you from?

I'm live a bit north of the city, in Zelienople.

i have a real good friend who lives outside of pittsburg, in uh some suburb. i forgot, what are some pittsburgian subs?

so as not to piggyback this thread ill say
listen to the types of music you wanna play, start listening to some brand new stuff that is inspiring and incorporate it into what you are already doing. after awhile you will have you own nifty niche that will be grand rockin fun.

Is your Dad also a Minotaur? Because I'm pretty sure Pirate fans are only things of myth.
I root for the Indians, the Pens, and the Steelers. If the Pens and the Steelers don't make it, I start rooting for the Red Wings and 49'ers.

Ha, yeah my dad has liked the Pirates since the 50's. He loves the O's as much as the Pirates which doesn't make any sense to me since they were big rivals in the 70's. I think they suck

Everyone gets in ruts sometimes - Ive been there.
It's fun to try a different approach to your music, like trying not to sound like yourself.
I've had fun writing metal songs (you can hear one here called Dirty Mud http://www.myspace.com/burningcandle) and hip hop songs when I'm uninspired.
Or you could try writing music that tries to sound like something looks. I wrote a riff once that sounds like a watertower...

Or you could buy a new piece of music gear to hopefully inspire.
