Link: How To Write A Song
by Jason Hannah on Mar.24, 2010, under Link
I found an article today that I found interesting, and I thought I’d share it with all of you.
The article is entitled “How to Write A Song”
I’ve personally written probably hundreds of songs if you combine the ones I’ve done by myself with the ones that I’ve done with bands and with my songwriting partners, but I still really like looking at how other people approach it. I’ve written songs with a lot of different people, and I have noticed that everyone really has their own method.
The reason that I keep reading articles like this that are probably geared more toward beginners is that I really am interested in those different methods. I think a lot of times I’m able to think about the different ways of writing songs, and sometimes change or adapt my own methods a little.
Not only that, but I think anyone who has tried to be creative on a somewhat regular basis has fallen into ruts before, whether it’s writers block, or even feeling like every thing you write sounds the same after a while. I think trying different writing methods can pull you out of those types of ruts.
The article is called How To Write A Song, and I found it on www.robinfrederick.com
There’s something magical about songwriting. No matter how many songs I write or how much I know about songwriting, I am still amazed and a little awestruck that it happens at all. How does a song get started? How do you know where to go next? How do you know if your song is any good? Well, I’ll answer the first two questions in this article. The third question – How do you know if my song is good? – is answered like this: A song that expresses what you feel is a good song, even if no one else thinks so. A song that expresses your thoughts and feelings in a way that reaches other people, helps them feel something deeper or understand something better – that’s a really good song!

Welcome To Creative-Music.org
Welcome! This blog is not really intended to give you step by step instructions on how to do some kind of creative music project (since it seems like that maybe defeats the purpose of wanting to be creative!) Instead, I hope to inspire you with ideas, examples, and exercises meant to get you thinking more creatively about how you write or perform your music.
AND IF YOU'RE NOT A MUSICIAN...
You still might appreciate some of the things we'll be talking about. The ideas are going to focus on music because I love music, but if you're creative enough, you can apply a lot of the basics to whatever art you may be into.
