Writing with friends can help with the flow of ideas and music.If you write with your buddys you can write about something that happend between you and your friend(s).
Personally, I have found it very fruitful to write along with other songwriters. One songwriter builds on the lyrics of each other. One songwriter betters the lyrics of the other and it results in a bigger song. Keep it up. I have written some of my best lyrics that way.

songwriting tricks by: inspiration101
I just read tips on songwriting, and having labored at this most of my life,One day I realized why it was so difficult. I was tring to force my lyrics into the music. When I simply strumed some chords and hummed a melody, I realized that would dictate to some degree what lyrics could naturaly go with it. There is a little more to it than that but it was a big revalation.Can anyone else expand on this?
