Dear The Reader
Most guys know this phase. Most guys will refuse to admit that they know this phase, but they do. It's the "stupid love" phase. When a guy sees a girl and all he can think about is making her fairytale come true.
Tip: if she watches Disney you have no chance of ever making her fairytale come true.
Somewhere during this phase a guys brain will suddenly short circuit, sending messages saying "write a song!", to which other parts of the brain will say "you're a dork", which will in turn cause other parts of the brain to say "OMG! A dorky song would be awesome!".
Tip: dorky songs aren't cool. They are dorky.
So if you want to write a song for your girl don't start with a cliché. Instead, talk about something that means something super special to you, like football or McDonalds. Describe the surrounding environment from your first date or when you first met. Was it day or night? Was it crowded or lonely? Was the busker a homeless white guitar player or an old Chinese man playing the Chinese equivalent?
Once you've set the scene mix in something about your intentions. "I hope I can empty my bank account for you again, coz that kiss by the Opera House was totally worth it". That's what she really wants.
Follow these basic guidelines and she'll love you for it, and you'll steadily recover from "stupid love".
Educate. Entertain. Inspire.

Just a note... Girls have been known to write dorky songs too. *nods* Yep. This girl has personal experience with said songwriting. *thinks* Did it cure "stupid love" phase? No. But probably because she never told the guy the song was about him. His inattention soon took care of that bit for her. It's a cold and cruel world sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fast descent into stupidity and a long climb back out. I still find myself trying to write stupid songs for Leah. I think you need the right guy too ;)
