I'd say today has been a very good day, from a songwriting point of view, at least. Somehow managed to come up with an almost complete 80's Hair Metal-style song while on the train this morning. Only needs a cool solo, a Bass Guitar line and some great drum-beats and it's complete. The funny thing is that the lyrics came to me out of nowhere. I just sat on the train as usual, suddenly came up with a cool riff and before I knew it, I had come up with the lyrics for a complete song. Is it the best song ever written? I doubt that. It is, however, very satisfying, even after reading the lyrics three times with hours between each time. Especially considering that it just came to me spontaneously.

Now, time to find the best Tone for the song and record it ASAP. I plan to upload it and let you folks listen to it and let me know what you think. If only I had any idea where/how to get the drum and bass parts for the song, when I don't play in a band...
