If you find you're always writing sad songs it could be for a number of reasons - and of course, all of this is JMO. There's lots of bad news out there - disease, war and that whole Jon & Kate Gosslin thing can really bring a person down. Sad love songs, I think, come easy to even the most inexperienced writer and happy love songs are easiest to write when you're actually in love...and happy. The other thing is, maybe you're a person who is prone to depression or who, without even knowing it, you could be writing sad songs as a way of cleansing yourself; getting rid of it. Writing sad songs could be therapeutic for you, therefore, you write sad songs to feel better. Getting out of the sad-song rut? Well, someone mentioned Steve Martin in a previous post, so I will quote him: "Get small" - and learn how to play the banjo.

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
