Anyone else get problems with composing songs, and get to the point where your mind gets blank and don't know how to continue the song?

Most of my songs stop at around 50 seconds.


EDIT: As in instrumental songs, no lyrics.

Record them. Tag them. Put them aside. After a week, listen to it and see what pops into your head.

Doesn't work every time, but it's a lot more effective than obsessing over it until you can't think at all.

Reviving this thread, two years on .
I play bass, bit of guitar, trumpet.
Not in a proper band yet, but I have tried writing songs. It is not my forte to say the least...
