1. Ariel idk if you still check this channel but I used to watch every weekly episode. Been missing your show a lot lately.. gonna watch slowly watch back every episode. Just wanna say thanks for making these, you are so real and so refreshing, thanks for everything you do

2. I always make really weird improvised songs about daily activities

3. She’s right. I’m a lyricist.

4. nerves is like the most underrated song You have

5. I write poems that with a little editing, could become song lyrics.

6. 5:55 so true…

7. This video is so true!

8. what type of music do u listen to

9. I use the notes on my phone when I'm writing songs and then I put it all together (:

10. yep there been time where I felt I would not come anything good again.

11. Inspiration sometimes comes in middle of class for my songs and I can't write it down because we would be taking tests or notes and such. With the singing what comes to you thing, I'd say you should record those because if you forget the line you want to remember, then you can just listen to the recording for what you're looking for. I bought a sketchbook (for writing books, don't really like lined paper) and I am going to use it for songs instead.

12. so when I listen to you and Papa Roach

13. Its true I've written a few songs myself so I know how frustrating it is when you think of absolutely nothing

14. Ariel thank you. I'm in a difficult place and you inspire me. I hope one day I can thank you in person. God bless.

15. Every minute ..so true !

16. I always have to have my bass in my hands in case I get frustrated I just play for a bit which helps with melodies

17. I feel you with the whole ideas coming at random times thing. That happens to me all the time. I have so many random notes in my phone from these random song lyrics or ideas, and I've started to compile them into one note and it's starting to flow together ?

18. Not sure what's going on with youtube today, it wouldn't let me comment for about half an hour… Anyway! I just wanted to let you know that about halfway through watching this video, I had a random stray thought that made me start thinking in lyrics, and I had to stop and write it into my notes. And lo and behold, I start the video up again, and you said to do just that! =D Watching a bunch of your videos in a row seems to have inspired me, so thank you so much!

19. 3:20
    Just about every Icon For Hire song. 🙂

20. That YouTube maze is how I found you last year, never looked back since xD

21. Like for REL, good stuff

22. Thank you soo much for this!! I love singing and writing songs and this helps a lot! Also, you're a huge inspiration! You've been in the music business for awhile and it really hasn't changed you. I love you so much and appreciate how you are so determined to stay yourself and you aren't afraid to share your faith. It's really inspiring and you make me want to go out and tell everyone about God. You're so dedicated to the gift God has given you and you're such a blessing. Love you REL and thank you for embracing the gifts God has given you and for using them to share His glory. 🙂

23. this is kinda a weird question but did u wrote the song Rock and Roll Thugs while listening to music?

24. I believe that song writing, or any type of writing, has to come from the heart.. otherwise it's just words on paper

25. Ariel that's funny how the line depressions like a big fur coat… was written. Thats actually my fave line of the song.. whole reason I listen to it is for that line. Inspiration is crazy good. Keep going you're awesome!!

26. You inspire me. All your music is amazing and makes me feel alive. Thank you. Icon for hire, forever!!

27. It's refreshing to find someone who actually writes their own lyrics ?

28. Wow thank you so much for sharing this!! Wish more artists would do it!

    I really appreciate your music and your advice, so keep it coming!

29. I'm an aspiring writer working on my first novel, and this advice is relevant to me.

30. This is amazing advice. 🙂

31. first tip, totally true 🙂

32. who inspires you in writing songs?
