10. This was great, I've been looking for "writing a song online" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of – Honora Xenndrew Magic – (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.

11. This is the first time I've ever commented on a YouTube video, but I cannot help myself.

    You summarised everything a beginner might need to know, without skipping or over-explaining any of the concepts. I love the fact that you are clearly chasing your dream with your own albums, but also giving back to those who are starting where you did. I will definitely watch more of your vlogs and may even check out your one-on-one sessions!

    Well done, it was excellent! Keep up the good work. I will now be listening to your album:)

12. Thank you so much if i be a famous people

13. How is this?

    The Invisible Girl

    You seem so strong
    You seem so fierce
    When I look in your eyes
    I see it clear

    You see right through me
    You do not care
    Like I'm invisible
    So invisible

    Everything about you
    Your eyes to your hair
    It drives me crazy, but you do not care
    Like I'm invisible
    'Cause I'm invisible
    So invisible
    The invisible girl

    You are perfect, so sublime
    And I'm still standing
    Last in the line
    You don't see me
    Like I'm invisible
    Still invisible

    You see right through me
    You do not care
    Like I'm invisible
    So invisible

    Everything about you
    Your eyes to your hair
    It drives me crazy, but you do not care
    Like I'm invisible
    'Cause I'm invisible
    So invisible
    The invisible girl

    Change will never happen
    Life stays the same
    Forever and always
    Sincerely, the invisible girl

14. I would really like to write a pop song. Unfortunately, I cannot talk to the people I live with about it because they won't take me seriously, and basically told me to do something else instead. Anyone else have that problem? How can you deal with it? Anyone have any tips for writing your first pop song?

15. Thank you miss Emma.
    I have subscribed to your cannel.
    And I use a very rare and freaky method to build up a tune. And tell me if anyone else is capable to use it , I would love to hear from you. The technique is Tounges!!!
    Start humming then sing out the tune in Tounges…
    So you'll be able to get time to recognise and understand the tune ,as you don't have to worry about the lyrics!!!!
    See speaking in tongues is a very useful tool . And it can be very much be used in singing and song making….
    If you can use this tounge tool ,
    Tell me!!!!!, I'll be waiting

16. Cinnamon sparkles in her hair
    Why'd you take lil Barry away,
    Now your mom is cry a river of red,
    Seeing you cry and I still don't care…bitch

17. I've had "writers block" for like 20 years. ? Not really but seriously, I have always had a lot of trouble putting a story or song together.

18. Amazing video keep up the good work

19. Thanks beautiful

20. Just wrote and compose my first song after watching this. ???. Thank you for this helpful video??.

21. Thanks for the tips. For me water is a huge help for writers block. I always seem to write songs while doing the dishes or running water in the tub, and ofcourse in the shower. And getting to hang out by a babbling brook seems to be helpful too.

22. I think my song i wrote sucks ?

23. My favourite song is Distracted by you

24. Pop rock ?

25. what about new years

26. pause the video at 0:02 it looks hilarious

27. Why, 01 pm and 13 hoo, and 01 am and 01hoo, the difference is hou, the painter Giusti or Giusty, Marc or Marco. And in English, is Sim?!?!?! This is one question for we, or nothing.

28. I can come up with any original or good melodies and the only instrument I own is a piano that I don't really know how to play much and whenever I try to write a song its always really sloppy and messy like my head. I also never really know how to use my voice….. Any suggestions?

29. This actually helps

30. Yay!

31. Nice workspace you have!! I just sent this link to a friend who needs help. Great advice!!

32. I feel that you look very pretty with black hair Emma MC Gann

33. you are the best … thanks for sharing Emma … awesome

34. Totally off topic, but your eyeliner is amazing! I can barley take my eyeliner out of the box without hurting myself.

35. Smart and pretty. Haha. Thank you very much for your help! Btw I love your accent. Lol.

36. yeah How about my own new song Called Melody Is in You Or Dark Night HoweveR I Will dizzy that thing

37. Love the video. Very insightful. I’ve been writing music and recording for 12 years now and this is definitely very good starter video. Good job 🙂

38. One day I’ll be a singer ..no matter what???

39. Emma I hope you like this song

    I've been waiting you to notice me
    I've been waiting to long

    But now I'm laying in bed crying my soul out
    I've wished of having you
    But now I know you got a better girl then me
    Tones of years have passed
    I'm still crying my soul out

    One day I will get you
    Blood puddles every where

    IM NOT LIKE ME
    NO MORE

    I'll tech you! Some day
    I'm really lost right now

    I feel like a devil NOT an angel
    Your gonna wish you loved me

    So love me back

    This is a really dark song it's called devil love

40. How do you know that you really created a melody? Stupid q maybe, but I sometimes come up with a new song and later start to wonder if its a melody i might have heard years ago,

41. Thank you so much for this!

42. What if you can't find a tune

43. I made this song a few days ago without watching this video. What do you guys think? Honest opinion cuz I can deal with it

    Broken Promise

    [VERSE]
    I used to think that we
    were complete as one
    I did, not know these sad,
    days would come
    We used to sing like there
    wasn't a next time
    Who knew, it really was
    we were right

    [PRE-CHORUS]
    In… A blink of an eye
    You… Were gone from my
    sight
    When… Can we meet this
    time?
    When… Will our days be
    bright?

    [CHORUS]
    Baby, I'm sorry
    Baby, I'm lonely

    I know I did wrong
    I know I cannot move
    on

    Baby, I'm sorry
    Baby, I'm lonely

    Let's do the right things
    I'll fix my broken promise

    [Instrumental]

    [VERSE]
    I saw you through the
    screen crying with a
    smile
    It broke my heart, I'm
    wrong you were right
    I hope wounds can heal
    but I hope mine won't
    I'm cold, heartless, honestly
    mindless

    [PRE CHORUS]
    I… Will remember
    This… Eight November
    God… Sent an angel
    That… Cries with devils

    [CHORUS]
    Baby, I'm sorry
    Baby, I'm lonely

    I know I did wrong
    I know I cannot move
    on

    Baby, I'm sorry
    Baby, I'm lonely

    Let's do the right things
    I'll fix my broken promise-

    [BRIDGE/RAP]

    The first day we met you
    were quiet
    You kept everything to
    yourself a secret
    I miss your smile
    wish I can see it
    Tear stained face makes
    me cry, wish I can feel it
    It was my fault, my fault
    I tell you
    Your love, you smile
    I didn't think I would lose

    /Beat ends and it gets faster/

    As if the whole world's
    against me
    I can't look at you directly
    It hurts I ruined many lives
    This feeling in my heart
    ain't right
    Don't lie to me you're
    hurt I know
    Our moments repeat
    before dawn
    I felt knives break into
    my heart
    Makes breathing for me
    very hard
    I never want you to let go
    My love for you isn't for
    show
    As time passed by you
    weren't with me
    Together for eternity
    That's our promise,
    that's our wish
    It's our promise,
    broken promise

    Broken Promise…

    /A bit of instrumental and
    high note/

    Baby, I'm sorry (sorry)
    Baby, I'm lonely (lonely)

    I know I did wrong (it's wrong-oh)
    I know I cannot move
    on

    Baby, I'm sorry
    Baby, I'm lonely

    Let's do the right things
    I'll fix my broken promise

    /Instrumental/

    Ooh ooh…

    Baby, I'm sorry
    Baby, I'm lonely-y-y

    Ooh ooh…

    I'll fix my 2x

    /Whisper/
    Broken Promise
