Training your brain to come up with ideas is really a great concept, Chad. And I want to add support. I spent many years as an advertising industry creative; and this subject is exactly what I used to talk to and teach junior creatives about. That the idea of The Artiste, who puts on a beret and waits for lightning to strike or their muse to call is nonsense. Creativity is a process and there are exercises and methods one can train on to become better and faster at it. It's really a big toolbox, and each of us will find the combination of tools that work best for us, so it will be unique to that person, but process nonetheless. I use the same methods I learned in advertising to write songs. It might be free association, or role playing, journaling, etc. Whatever feels right, believe me, it does work. But, like Chad is saying, you do have to DO the work. Even if it feels fruitless in the moment.
thank you for sharing
Ahh. The titles thing I always do fake albums with fake tracklists sing them as a random artist and then one or two would stand out and a song flows from there. I have filled many notepads this way lol
Good stuff, Chad. This is like the greatest hits of sharpening the tools in the songwriting brain…!
Looking forward to the upcoming workshops! Thanks for these helpful exercises.
