The people who write the songs that power the music industry carve their own unique road to the Grammys. Don Dahler met with successful songwriters Kara DioGuardi, Justin Tranter and Ross Golan for a revealing glimpse into their peculiar brand of poetry.

That .as song: they need to cut /release as a trio just the way it was!
Why can’t I find a video about songwriters that isn’t about writing hits? Idgaf about a hit song I’m tryna make myself proud!
This is what's wrong with the music world today. Singers rarely write their own stuff today.
I am uploading my own music onto youtube at the moment. Acoustic stoner rock with undertones of conspiracy theories.
Being humble, listening, and being willing to combine ideas is a HUGE part of collaboration. And to those who are being all poopy about pop songwriters, or about them not singing their own songs, go be a downer somewhere else. It's tough to write a hit song, and some people want to write music but not deal with the performance side of things. Also, if you want to eat, you make things with commercialability to pitch to labels, and write the other things that mean more to you personally for yourself or smaller artists. Songwriting is an art, regardless.
They write all the garbage music that dominates charts
How do you even write a quality song with a group of people. It’s a very private process…
???????
Inspirational, I wanna make such good music Like them one day
Wish I could be a part of that
Can you check out the group (4th Impact) they got the most views in the history of the X Factor, 180 million views, they are so talented ??
They are like the artists for a movie
So that means if your favorite artist has a very meaningful lyric, they probably didn't write it.
And if they have a cringy lyric, they also probably didn't write it as well.
Someone trying to help me write a song for credit?
These songwriters are bottom of the barrel. They are not poets they are not mathematicians they are garbage men recycling disposable products.
These people suck
look at the cbs reporter pretending to be human. like he knows what rhythm is
I badly want to work with them
Adele didn't write the lyrics to Hello. I did on the Manson forums around 2008 or so. Anyone who says otherwise is a freaking liar.
Hi, I'm a film student looking for a songwriter to write an upbeat pop or funk song with me from scratch. It would be paid. If interested send me a link to some song you have writtens in those genres to songwriter44@yahoo.com.
…but can they write a credible hard rock or metal song?
Super cool and inspirational ?
This is an original new song. This is a Red Pill Blue Pill Moment:

Why don't the original writers play out as a band? Stop furthering advertising specialists!! Billionaires made it so your name doesn't show up in history ?
"The writers behind" is the reason you shouldn't support this music… ugh
I love this! These songwriters are my kin. As a songwriter I love to hear what other songwriters have created and are still creating. SALUTE!
this is not how I write songs. ?????
Wait.. why don't they sing and get famous?
Enjoyed watching this!

These people write rubbish that nobody remembers right now
Miss when the singers actually wrote the songs and composed their own songs , like imagine just Bieber cranking out all these songs on a piano and guitar like the Beatles .
That na part sounds like Don't Bother Me by George Harrison
Please review my lyrics
Intro
Would you go on
would you go on
Chorus
If you uncovered you were
the one man alive in the world
the one man alive in the world
The end of the world
everybody's gone
and you are alone
alone in the world
…. what you'd do
…., tell me who you d be
….. tell me where you'd go to
Verse 2
Life has meaning when we're all together.
It is way worth living, when we love each other.
We all have weaknesses, but together we are stronger.
I know life aint perfect, but we can make it better
we can live it better,we can leave it better
No matter how hard your lives can sometimes be
There'll still be room for joy — if we still can meet
Whatever the hardships you might be going through .
There'll surely be someone waiting to walk you through
Chorus
If you uncovered you were
the one man alive in the world
the one man alive in the world
The end of the world
everybody's gone
and you are alone
alone in the world
…. what you'd do
…., tell me who you d be
….. tell me where you'd go to
Verse 2
Family and friends, the greatest gift in life
love and value then, while they still alive
cause one minute they here, they next they disappear
now is the time, don't wait for next year
fear made you leave, you missed the end of the war
nostalgic , you come back, but it's the end of the world
you wanted to save your life, now you re the only alive
what your life will now be ,
if on earth your the only one to be
Chorus
If you uncovered you were
the one man alive in the world
the one man alive in the world
The end of the world
everybody's gone
and you are alone
alone in the world
…. what you'd do
…., tell me who you d be
….. tell me where you'd go to
Outro
If you uncovered you were
the one man alive in the world
the one man alive in the world
Would you go on
would you go on
Wow they have created such great songs.
amazing
So much time has passed. But you are just the same. Perhaps only more beautiful. Perhaps a bit more mature. I had so much to tell you. But now that you're standing here. I'm lost for words. God how do I tell her that. I hope she understand . I hope she finally learns. You were my great love. I used to draw your portrait. You were beyond my grasp. You were beyond my grasp. You were the epitome of beauty. This is how I painted you and I hid you somewhere at the bottom of my heart . I'm still thinking about you…
Random Thought: It’s kind of funny to think that some of the greatest songwriters can’t even sing?
awful
it all seems so soulless and just about sales.
Wow this whole process is amazing
These people should be thrown in the ocean. Their music is garbage they poison the world . our culture dies a little more very day
I've been a songwriter for 35 years. Never written a #1 hit. If I go another 35 years without a #1 hit and write for ME & from MY heart with NO concern of what pop crap is popular or what will make me a buck. I'll consider myself a success! I could give a rat's arse what "lady" ca ca or justin tweeber are "going through". Of course I admire these writer's success but good God, write for YOURSELVES not whatever crap star, uh sorry, "pop star" that can put a $ in your pocket! Write songs with MEANING, heart & soul. Not silly drivel for the masses!
I took a pill in ibiza? Hahahahahahahahaha
What hahahahaha i bet he did lol
Their live's are so much nicer like they write some of the biggest songs and they can still live a normal life unlike the artists
I love to know about this
Simply amazing
This is why pop music is the industry dominant: Because if the pop stars were left to write their own music, it would be a failure (undisciplined culture) leaving the industry exposed to natural selection (those who are more disciplined and passionate whom actually write good and involved material such as what metal artists do, yet rarely get the recognition for it because of the industry of pop hacks). If this wasn't a world of labels hiring boomers to do the hard work for the spoiled pop stars, many more people would be listening to quality song writing by those with more intelligence and integrity, and helping to raise the IQ of the general public.
ibitha?
I know someone that has written over 5000 songs in less then 2 years and some of them are on YT under josh Ewart and the guy who done his videos for him cayden cole
I feel like an Alien. When I write Songs I always have the chords and melody first. And then I Look for the Text that could fit good with the rhythm and melody
