Meanwhile I'm not a therapist (by trade) so it's hard to tell how to uncomplicate your life. As far as the "laws" go, here's what I want you to do: find a song by the Beatles called "All You Need Is Love" As the song is playing, trying counting a bar of 4, you know, 1, 2, 3, 4 like you're trying to march to it (it even has a kind of march feel to it). But you can't, every now and then you have to stop at '3' or '2'. That's because the musical phrase was 'over the bar' (or actually 'under the bar') and it didn't bother John Lennon one bit. No laws involved, no music theory, no nothing. Just a great musical idea left to itself. VS Well your prose is certainly poetic…

As far as the “laws” go, here’s what I want you to do: find a song by the Beatles called “All You Need Is Love”

As the song is playing, trying counting a bar of 4, you know, 1, 2, 3, 4 like you’re trying to march to it (it even has a kind of march feel to it). But you can’t, every now and then you have to stop at ‘3′ or ‘2′.

That’s because the musical phrase was ‘over the bar’ (or actually ‘under the bar’) and it didn’t bother John Lennon one bit. No laws involved, no music theory, no nothing. Just a great musical idea left to itself.

Hi i found your web site by chance but found very insightful.
i write lyric’s and i’m happy with them but some times i write past the bar so its off, but then i found out there are diffirent bars for writing
the signiture i sometimes start before or after
its like i’m reading music in diffirent ways
but need to know the laws for each one first before
i can progress into better writing.
simply put i write complicated when it is simple
when i’m truly feeling the music like in your article its so much more easyer and better writing
comes from that for me, any way if you know something that could stop me complicating myself
i know i will be one of the greatest writers of all time.
