I've been, for awhile now, putting aside tidbits of some musical ideas i got while noodling around on the guitar. It could be just a few chords that sound nice together or a just little riff.
I do have a few songs that are fully together (or close to be) but these came to me as a whole. It just sorta came together without any real thinking. With my limited habilities and resources I managed to put together a complete foundation for these songs.
But with these tidbits, I just can't seem to be able to piece together some meaningful ideas. I just can't get a bigger picture than just these little pieces.
How do you go about working original ideas?
How do you work out a simple little idea to become a full, complete song?
