How do you get a good melody going to a song?
I’ve got a huge book of lyrics/poems that I have written over some time now…..The problems is that I’m not sure how to think up a good melody to go with them to make it into a song-I’ve tried experimenting on the piano different rythmns, and harmonies blah blah blah….experimenting with my voice and what might sound good but all in all I’m getting NOWHERE!!….I want to be good at this but I don’t even know how to think up a melody-and without a melody no song period(no one like to listen to words)

heres some lyrics I thought up(its just an example of course):

Goodbye sunny days
Bring in the haze
of misty skys
sent me flying high
but right now I feel far below

CHORUS:
the sandy beach I lye on
Needing a shoulder to cry on
Common windy days
soon you’ll fly away
setting me free
into that deep blue sea

common waves catch up to me
I’m standing right here!
so near
to the edge right now
how?
I guess I’ll never know
so let me go to

CHORUS
(lye one the sandy beach)

where are you majic mirror?
so I can see clearer
to show me my reflection
why can’t you show me some affection
or emotion
to cry me a river to turn into that ocean
on the sandy beach
where your out of reach

so let the rain fall on me
so i can see
straight
still doing figures of eight
common deep blue sea
set me free
consume me
or simply let me be

while I (CHORUS)

so rain fall
rain pour
send me away forevermore

Welcome grey skys
will be flying high
hiding reds, oranges, yellow, green, blue
still i don’t know what to do
so deep blue sea
consume me and set me free


It’s a natural talent; either you have it, or you don’t.
