Week 11: Individual piece

In terms of creating my original composition, I've just completely hit a wall. I had so many ideas about what I wanted to do for my final piece but none of them have seemed to work out well at all. I have tried creating music on a music application i've downloaded called mixcraft 7 using my voice for the backing which kind of followed on from the ideas we used for our group piece. This is still something I think I want to use however I just don't know where to start again. Lyrics are the thing i'm struggling with the worst, I just can't think, my mind just goes blank everytime I try and write them. I must have wrote about 70 lines now and nothing seems right, they just get crossed straight out.  I definitely find it alot easier to create an arrangement rather than actually come up with my own original song.  I want to create a song that is personal or actually has a meaning to it, not your stereotypical pop song and as I said at the start of this project, I still want it to have a jazzy feel to it, however trying to create this by doing it completely accapella is proving to be pretty difficult.
