Thanks for the article. This is actually a pretty good starting guide for beginner songwriters. In my opinion the most important thing when starting songwriting is to understand that learning songwriting is a marathon – it takes time to learn. That means also that songwriting usually means writing lots of songs. Aim to complete your songs fast and move forward to a next one.

Why is song writing so stressful but so fun at the same time??????

Hello. My name is Arielle Parrish and I just started to like making my own lyrics. I started a couple days ago and wrote a paragraph about my new song called “Love Is All You Knew.” I try to make it sound like this guy loves yep people and I am one of them, and I like him back and try to become free together, but I don’t know what to write next.
If somebody could please reply and I can red you the lyrics that would be amazing. I also need help on finding a tune/beat to go with my lyrics. Thank you!!!

Here’s my tip. To quote John Lennon:

If you are working on a song, particularly the lyrics, try to finish it. Because sometimes if you leave the song and come back to it, you can lose the inspiration that you began with. I’ve always tried to do that, but haven’t always succeeded. But the best songs I’ve composed were ones I finished by sticking to it.

Something you can’t learn is tapping into that mystical place some artists refer to as their muse. I have had an idea for a song and only had the hook or a couple of lines, and then by playing and singing, the rest of the lyrics just come to me. I can’t explain it, but that’s how it works sometimes.

Robbie Robertson and Sting have mentioned similar experiences, even having dreamed some songs. There are many song-smiths who can churn out song after song in a formulaic style and make a great living writing catchy clever songs. Some work in a team. It’s not what I aspire to but it is very successful.

As an artist, I have the perfectionist problem. Everytime I create, something can always be changed or added. Eventually a project that takes less than a month turns into a 3-4 months due to my mind always wanting to improve. For example, there’s another artist Big Boi from Outkast. He took two years to create one song because of the obsession over it sounding perfect and always wanting to change it. I am a very intricate and picky writer and it’s honestly discouraging at times. How could one begin to overcome that? Confront the obsession and put it to an end. Once I record and put it out, in my mind I think, “I should’ve said this.” Or “Maybe I needed to add another harmony vocal” Every single time, something is missing in my mind even though it sounded complete. It’s very difficult to me and makes me take extended breaks. Appreciate your input!

While this article and video have some very good information the part about not needing details in a song I could not disagree with more. The only exception is writing for sync as yes, there you do not want details because they might conflict with what’s going on the scene. However, aside from that the details are what takes the listener on a journey and allows them to relate to the song thru their senses. Which paints a better a better picture…”I remember way back when we hung out” or ” It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long”. The latter puts you in a place and gives you an image. You may say well Pop lyrics don’t have detail…look at Katy Perry or Keshia…”Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack” not… “I had a drink”. One my song writing mentors, hit writer Jason Blume says it best… A.I.D. = Action Image Details. When you add these elements your song goes to another level and will better connect with your listeners.

The tips are really interesting to go through. @Alexis I advise you make new friends and ask them to listen to your song. What they tell you will motivate you because I already believe what you create is awesome. I am Conscience from Nigeria. Message me on Instagram.

I love music a lot and I am also a composer of music. But I have a little problem with my voice, it cracks whenever I sing. Do you have any ideas to stop this?

In reply to Flower133. Creativity helps, but if you're not naturally creative you can practice and you'll become more so.
