I created this formula as a result of those days when the muse decided not to come out to play and lyric writing inspiration was nowhere to be found.

This video takes you step by step through a simple formula I created and I hope it gives you the same results it gave me.
This is part one of a three-part series. Part one gives you the formula to generate endless lyric and song ideas,
part two will show you how to shape those ideas into solid lyrics

and part three will give you everything you need to organize those lyrics into a finished song. The best part is, when broken down like this the whole process becomes so easy and enjoyable a beginner songwriter could write songs at the drop of a hat.
My main focus on this channel is to give all the tips, techniques, and tools I’ve gathered over the years to songwriters looking to improve their craft.

  1. I often look at paintings or photographs (either family/friend or from around the world) & come up with a song/lyric based on what i see or feel from looking at the picture. Sometimes characters jump out or places or just an emotional response to it. ? 1 of my ways of lyric writing

  2. Keep the acid in reflections peep these astral projections he need actual protection better back up like congestion hit it once not second guessing 3 and forth was not a question word shakur took 5th and 6th wit bigger clips we made our way to seven add a inch that’s my extension lose the tension defuse the temper goo retention Edward kemper in the corner for detention he got a fever keep the sweater put ya hood up now you sweatshirt no umbrella for the weather a bird can’t fly wit the wet feathers let ‘em pull up baby hol up let em load in let ‘em render 5 second tester double palms that boy surrender double ds stuck between mi and le I’m the nle of nyc never been make no sense Get better picks no top chart hits unless it’s Kennedy cop car pigs ima rock star gig wit a style for enemies pretty please simply kick em out like a little league I call that a victory i lost it on listerine honesty but jittery when you boxing grit your teeth danny d in the vanity ready to hit the scene action bash in the camera lense now I feel complete parisites virus’s pair of dice 9s and tens air his sight dial feds flat tone realize the line is dead javelins flying shook one’s took em like a avalanche maneuver dodge triangle but he didn’t have a chance grab a stance take a hold ima labyrinth you a incomplete puzzle keepin a piece of plastic strapped in the gun holst connect those dots like Verizon send em over the horizon on hold you a gone soul this the gospel freestyle call the choir cause I’m on a roll

  3. I have so much inside me that it feels like a gut punch that it won't come out. I always envied songwriters as I thought it must be very cathartic to be able to pour your angst out like cuming and crying at the same time. I would like to write something one day that fills someone with sorrow and love and melancholy and nostalgia and happiness. The thought that someone might feel these emotions while singing my lyrics is just too awesome to imagine. Let it be me for once.

  4. Song: drowsy

    Yes, I am ok just feeling a bit drowsy, tired, a little sick, kind of noshes

    But yes I'm ok, no plans just ideas, just going to shift into someone else~

    Travelling when you're sick is the best feeling, stealing someones identity while you're tired is better

    Exploring planets cores when you're drowsy is expected, but turning planets into black holes if Noshes is amazing

    ( not many ideas for lyrics yet but the song is for a game that doesn't exist called shift or shifter and the singer is
    Probably Veronica's voice actor Veronica is the villain who wants to turn the earth into a black hole by shifting into
    Other people mastering their voice ideas anyone )

  5. Maybe you already know what you want to write a song about & maybe you have no idea ,this system will work for you either way using as little brain power as possible
    1:Formula (Idea 1 + Idea 2) (Theme + attitude/emotion = tons of lyric ideas)
    2:(Idea 1 house) (idea 2 sale) put them together mean (The house is for sale)
    3:Now think why would a house be for sale ,the first thing that come to mind is moving on or loss so there we have a basic ingredients for a song (Theme)* (Universal Theme )*
    (If you have no ideas & dont know how to fit them into your theme ,what emotions to apply & how to use it all to get lyric & song ideas )
    4:Then Set a timer for 5 mint & keep writing whatever that comes in your mind ,after that read it back & see if any ideas interest you & make a note of them
    5:Pick 10 random facts about yourself or someone else if you can't think of any random facts just Google personality questionnaire
    6:Ask yourself what is new in your life or someone else or world?
    What has changed ,What have I acquired /lost?
    7:Use headlines from internet ,news anything this can also be done with random words & phrases from news ,articles,advice columns & lyrics
    8:Pick a photo or a picture from Google & write about that
    9:Pick a line or title from a movie,quotes,cliches,memes, catch phrases ,ad slogans & pom durables words use a random word generator to come up with 2 words
    10:Use nouns,adverbs,verbs ,etc ,descriptive words & put them together conversations, get ideas from your or someone else conversation & experiences
    11:Now what do we do after we found our ideas ,here's ex from headline 1 from a miss universe headline & 1 for my headline about a volcano in new Zealand
    12:Now pick a theme (universal theme) ex (regret) now pick an emotion/ attitude ex weird
    Formula (Miss+ Volcano) ( Regret+Weird)=tons of lyric ideas
    13:Now just start brainstorming ,if nothing comes to mind just use these 3?s
    (Even draw a picture how does this miss volcano look like )

  6. Another great video. What do you reccomend for songwriting without having access to an instrument? I always used to come up with music first, but unfortunately all my instruments are currently not with me.
