Is Having Some Trouble with the EP

My plans for the upcoming EP (That still doesn't have a name) are as follows:

1. Get it out as soon as possible
2. Have 5 songs, or preferably 6
3. No covers

I'm having a little trouble writing the last two songs... Sometimes I lack inspiration, sometimes I can't think of lyrics, and sometimes I just can't make the music that I think would appropriately say what I want the song to say. In case you hadn't gathered the information so far, the tracks that are set to go on the EP are:

1. If Life was Like a Video Game
2. Stay with Me Forever
3. Music is Easy

Another thing I'm debating is to try and make the songs deeper and more serious or more goofy and fun. I prefer to write (At least when it comes to my stories) deeper stuff, but in real life I tend to be a lot more goofy. These conflict when I try to make music. Also, I would like to do at least one semi-rocky song on the EP. I have a hard time writing a song like that I would even possibly expect others to listen to.

Anyway... Just figured I'd post something up here about the EP... Even though I really haven't done anything since the last post.

The Project Has Begun

If any of you have checked my iLike recently (Which is probably not the case) you would have seen my Bulletin about the upcoming EP I am attempting to make. Well progress started last night with me recording the instrumentals for my electric version of "Stay With Me Forever". I finished up the vocals on this earlier this morning, and also completed two more songs.
The first was my electric version of the song "If Life Was Like a Video Game". To those of you who are wondering, I took out the really awkward solo (Which was not only out of place, but WAY out of time) and tried to replace it with something more fitting for the song.
I also just finished recording my newest song "Music is Easy". It's a mellow, sing on the back porch kind of song. Don't look for it online yet though. It won't be available anywhere until the release of the EP. Just wanted to update the people who might care.
P3@(3!
