well first off my sister the one who i dont get along with well and who i have problems which messed up my computer before i hadda chance to make a copy of all my lyrics (roughly 700+ pages) and my unmixed recorded full songs (15) on my computer. and my mom reinstalled the system, deleting everything that i had on there. and well as frustrated as i was, i was looking for some consolidation and to feel a bit better about the situation. i called 5 girls that i know that are close to me, 3 of the 5 said they were just words and to forget about them there gone, one told me imma great lyricist and that ill write better lyrics. the other told me she was going to call me back... but the point that im trying to get at is that people dont understand what my music means to me. YEA there just words and letters, but when those stream of consonents and vowels are announciated with correct pronounciation and tempo. It becomes my soul, it becomes a part of me. like an external ghost like persona that has no lyrical limitations or imperfections. it speaks in manerisms not commonly understood by the average man or woman. Its immaculance surpasses that of a stream of atoms and molecules. Its unphased by evolution but has adapted and consistently learned and adapted to its environment. surpassing the anabolic coefficiency that it derived from my predessors. Its lyrically attached to my internal organs and with each passing consonent it provides me with a steadily flow of brain fluid and protein rich blood. and without this external life form that is attached to me. im simply put, a mass of organs tissue and muscle, roaming the world incapable of expressing my inner thoughts and emotions!phew...sorry about the long type. i was a lil pissed and that feels better... btw florida is ok but im working alot, long days peaceful nights... love you all -Kid

Need to vent right quick

If that happened to me I'd be devastated and furious and raving. (I've been badly stressed over the last two weeks just over a networking problem that resulted only in a couple of days' lost work.) That's a terrible blow, Grown. :frowning:

Sorry to hear that. I agree with the girl that said you will write better ones.

I would be in the exact situation then if my computer was screwed over! I am also a "basement musician" and I have 100+ finished mixed songs that I've created over the years, and many, many pages of lyrics. I don't know how angry I would be if I lost everything. But luckily, I've virtually put all my songs on CDs, so it wouldn't be that bad... But seriously, I feel for you. Good news for you though is that if you do create new music/lyrics, they will not be worse than your previous ones. All musicians continously become better in my opinion.

i do back up my work but the prolem is that, i do it periodically every 6 months or before i have to reinstall my system. problem was, that i had to be on a flight to florida 2 hours after it happened... i didnt have time to connect it to another computer and use my main hard drive and back up harddrive as back up hard drives and use another drive to boot from. so i told my mom to make shure that whoever fixed the computer did that before they erased everything... she left that part out of the conversation between them though...and as far as creating beter lyrics goes and only gaining experience through music, thats not necessarily true... look at lil wayne alot of rappers change there style up and forget about there roots whilst progressing through stardom. they let the lime light blind them and therefore cause them to flaunt there ability of lyricism, when really there only flaunting there inability of lyricism and creativity...im not feeling too well, so imma go... maybe ill make another post before i leave though..

I couldn't agree more. Every musician can tell you that you'll only get better with enough practice and experience. The worse you can do is give up music.
