  7. The three things I wish I knew when I started song writing.
    1) I'm not very good at songwriting.
    2) Never theme a song exclusively around fruit.
    3) Singers don't like it when you electrocute them.

  9. Wow thanks Tony. I've learnt so much just from your short clips. I have pages of lyrics that I trashed due to the self critic in me. I'm going back to them now with new chords, melodies and right side only. Thanks for your words of wisdom and experience.

  10. Although I'm not sold on the whole brain bilateralization thing per se, tip #1 strikes me as essentially true, that performing academic-like tasks such as thinking of rhymes comes from an entirely different conscious space than that which sparks creative inspiration. It's a very simple tip to digest, and I think it's really excellent advice to take a look at one's process with this idea mind. Excellent presentation, thanks.

  12. The background music is going to be hard to find for my masterpiece of a song.

    I started here and I hope you find a girl who looks like a Bird
    For you have fade away from here
    Don't you cry my baby girl

    I whisper things that damage you and you cry like a girl, who fade away with Apple Pies
    Where is home and where is Rome?

    So far away from here my girl
    Can't you hear my little dove?
    Hissing like the Cat who fade away
    And now she sleeps with a blank stare

    Where is home and where is Rome?

    I passed out where I belong
    Swimming through the lakes of time
    Dreaming of a better time
    When you whispered in my ears

    Where is home and where is Rome?

    I forgot things that hurt my soul
    And now I sleep with a blank stare
    No Garden Gnome will haunt my dreams
    Where is Rome and where is Home?

  13. I started writing rhymes at 11 and i hated everything i wrote until i hit the age of 19ish. I didnt go to college right away after HS so I just read a lot and made music on my own. This was the most creative and innovative time in my writing career, i was lost, experienced heartbreak, was broke, had no direction. I wrote about 300 songs during this time before going to college at 21. During college i didnt write music at all and It affected my writing tremendously. I didnt notice this until after college when i wanted to write songs again. I was decent but i really didnt think any of it was good and i kept second guessing myself. After watching this video it was probably the logical side weighing down the right side of my brain because everything seemed bleh. It took me another 2 years of writing to finally get the creativity back.
    I write mostly for myself and some fellow musicians around the LA area. Sometimes i think about what couldve been if i kept writing and actually made an album but ehh im just glad others can enjoy the words. That gives me peace. Great video man.

  14. Wow! This is so great! These are some priceless insights you're sharing here and they can only come from someone who has been through it and learned from their mistakes. I'm really impressed with what you did here and I want to thank you for helping others like this! Cheers!

  23. I agree the time to get whatever is there out is at the time that a creative spark emerges. Yeah, you can come back but it is rarely the same. Yeah writing from the heart is flawed writing from the brain is a little more accurate. Also the public, the labels, the critiques want the first you, not the second Lennon or Bowie be yourself

  26. Thank you for your very positive video! I'm excited to explore what you are creating here on YouTube. For my channel, I'm writing or just randomly singing once a week. It's a great stretch to keep creating something once a week. Some weeks it works really well and others it's a bit wobbly. I heard the part about… after a while the songs all start to sound the same… I have noticed that with my weekly videos so I will be checking out your ideas. Thanks!

  28. Great tips…found your channel today….fun stuff….here is a hack I use: "To be great is to be misunderstood"…Ralph Waldo Emerson….Thick skin and /or detachment is a profound tool for the tool box…just released my 13th album this week….and feel like i've just begun learning….look forward to checking out some more vids here!

  36. Hey Tony, thanks for doing videos like these
    I discovered this channel not so long ago but since then I've wrote two song that mean a lot cos there's a complete change in my songwritting.
    The exercises are great : )

  42. Wow, great video. I never knew that reaching for the rhyming dictionary can stifle the creative process. Now I look back, I see I ran into cul-de-sacs. I also see other songwriters like George Harrison putting nonsense lyrics down to stay right-brained and in the zone.
    This video was an eye-opener.

  44. I feel that as a songwriter, you go thru 2 different phases. The first phase is, you want your songs to sound like what is out there, you want to fit in and have your songs be on par with other songs in a certain genre. But after a while, after you've gained confidence, you want the exact opposite. You want your songs to be different, to have a unique feel, something specific to you that distinguishes them from what is already out there. I feel like unless you are trying to be different, rather than trying to "fit in", you won't ever be successful. Of course by being unique, you may find it challenging for listeners and curators to find a spot for your music. But I feel like you need to stick with it and write what's in your heart, not trying to conform. Well that's my plan anyway 😐

  46. Sitting in my garage writing songs on my own sometimes feels like Im giving the kiss of life to a rasher of bacon. Songwriters Chop shop NEVER FAILS to resurrect my enthusiasm and breathe new life into my approach. Thanks Tony for your continued efforts, you've inspired me so much I feel like you're a mate.
