  15. That was some really spectacular advice from everyone you gave us. I myself am no pro I’m self taught and have a lot of tips from artists I’ve known for years. I was more of a freestyler but I have to be recording so I don’t lose what comes naturally. So I don’t like to think about anything before I sing a song. I listen to the music and I actually feel and hear the words eventually come to me repeatedly. I have a strange way of hearing what is not said. If that makes any sense. I hear more lyrics to every song. #Ibelieveinthelights. Wow I’m listening to a track just so inspirational to my soul. I love listening to music with no words just a few and your mind fills the rest in. I’m listening to #AmibientChilloutLounge #RelaxingMusic session 1 ?????. Listen to that and you’ll feel inspired. For anyone trying to write. Thanks for the tips and inspiration. ????????????

  17. Thank you very much for your wonderful tips, I'm a songwriter and I always feel there is room for improvement for myself so I learned something today. I've just subscribed your channel, would you be willing to subscribe to mine and maybe checkout one of my original songs and let me know what you think. Best regards, Danny Blueberry

  20. Structure for a song helps me see where lyrics and melody will fall into place and where they transition sound to sound, scene to scene.
    Without labeling the structure or order, at least to begin with, I don't see the song literally coming together before it figuratively comes together.

    Though my constant rule of thumb is: 1) Better to have a filled page than a blank one and 2) Trust the editing process.

  24. Great video. After 15 years of waffling, I finally got serious about writing songs in 2018 and set myself a project to finish 50 complete songs (no matter how bad some of them were) – with the intent to take the best 10 of those songs and polish them up into releasable tracks. Right now – almost 10 months later – I'm deep into song #48 of that project. I can honestly say that these songwriting tips make MUCH more sense to me NOW (after actually writing a bunch of songs) than they would before I started the project. I can completely relate to what these writers are saying.

    My contribution would be: 1) Write about something REAL, never force a "fake" topic. 2) From the beginning, set the topic and mood clearly enough to explain in a single, simple sentence. 3) Make sure there are plenty of HOOKS in melody, riffs, etc. 4) Transitions between sections can be hard, so make sure one section can flow seamlessly into the next (I really struggle with this). 5) Figure out your strengths and weaknesses. My strong points are basslines and chorus hooks/lyrics. (A few of) my weak points are transitions, verse lyrics, and bridge sections.

    Last but not least: a song is not just a series of cool sections (usually). They have to COHERE and work together to unfold a single experience. This can be really, really hard. But a great song is coherent, in every way, from start to finish.
