Random Inspiration: Topic Ideas
by Jason Hannah on Nov.24, 2009, under Random Inspiration
Hey everyone
Sorry it’s been a few days. For those of you who don’t know, I also write a Minnesota Vikings Blog called The Viking Ship and one of the features I do over there is creating song parodies and music videos for each of the games that the Vikings play. It’s a lot of fun, and it lets me put some of my musical creativity to use even on a football blog, which is kinda cool, but sometimes when I get behind, it causes a lot of work! 
Over the last several days I’ve been making a push to get myself ahead of the schedule with those videos so that I don’t feel so rushed all of the time. Unfortunately, that’s taken away my time that I would usually use to write this blog, so I apologize to the readers here for that!
Anyway, now that my excuses are out of the way…
Some of you guys seem to like the Random Inspiration posts that I’ve been making, so I thought I’d do another one of those this morning.
As usual, try to look at these from outside the box. If a literal idea posted below inspires you, great! But the real purpose of posting these is to get the wheels turning in your head. Try to look at the topic ideas from different angles… how can you play on the words? How can you twist the meaning?
Song Topic Ideas
-Write a song from the point of view of a retired rock star who misses the road
-Write a song in an arrogant tone to someone who you know thinks you’re super hot
-Write a song about an awkward introduction between two people
-Write about the hard parts about being in 9th grade
-Write an epic song about a telemarketer who really wanted to be a hero
-Write a song about Facebook (right after you click the link at the top of the blog to become our FaceBook friend!)
-Write a song about a time when the sound of a mandolin would be scary to hear

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. So stick around!You can also subscribe by email by filling the field below:
