First Timer...

Hi Everyone I just signed up to the forum.

I was reading through alota posts and see that everyone is quite receptive and honest here - thats great!

I have a Really hard time trying to come up with lyrics that sound rhythmic. Can you give me your opinions on how to improve upon this?

-:Worth the Work:-

Sometimes life's hard and
Sometimes its gentle
Sometimes love's a card and
Sometimes i can't handle BUT
Im lovein' IT and its all
worth the work.

I mustered just to greet
But realized my voice went weak
I tried to impress
But saw that i was just a mess
I got you by my side now
But gotta figure to keep you how

For what its worth
It was worth all the work.

I guess it'll be a chorus/Verse/bridge/chorus.

i generally come up with a chord progression first (seems to come easier for me) but i tried the lyrics first. Saw in past post it can go one of two ways: Lyrics guide the song or the Music guides the song.

i like it. what kind of music is it? im feeling kinda a Jack Johnson kinda vibe.
I like your use of "Muster" not too common of a word

EDIT: Oh and welcome here man! =D

I just messed around with it a bit more and thought that maybe this was better.... okay now im done. i patiently await your feedback.

Hehe thats awesome Thanks!!!

I find myself "naturally" playing a very "chopped" style of guitar (maybe called stageto) quite often. I think thats kinda like Jack Johnson.

*staccato* but yeah sounds good man
