Useful Song Writing Tips

Here are some way's i have helped me get focused on what I'm doing.

1. Should focus on theme.

The greatest hit songs of all time have been written on this theme. No point re-inventing the wheel. Let ideas flow out of your heart. You should not be afraid to write lyrics that say what you feel. Express yourself!!

2. Stop Thinking So Much About Money.

While this is the music business, you would do better focusing on doing music for the love of it instead of making money your primary focus. If you're doing this just because you think there is money to be made, when that doesn't come you will become frustrated and give up. Focus on writing good songs and the money will follow.

3. Listen to Music.
Listen to songs and  hits. Ask yourself this question. What has made these songs hits? What tricks and techniques has the songwriter used? My friend, why create mediocrity if you can copy genius? Some people tend to think differently. But I beg to differ. Just be yourself in the songs no one else. Just be you.

4. Try to Write Songs everyday.
Writing every day will pay off. You don't necessarily have to write an entire song each and every day, but a few lines will go a long way. Practice makes perfect. The more time you spend writing songs the better you will become. You will also get to the momentum of what your feeling and wanting in a song. Some songs take weeks others years.


5. Write Songs About Your Own Experiance.
 It's probably much easier to write about what you know than what you've never been through. It comes from within. You should however think of your market and give your songs a global appeal. You need to feel like your able to have your audience relate to your songs. So life situations and things that come your way, hardships, fun times, drama and your journey is that people can relate too.
So here are five tips for now I'll post a couple each day this week :) Blessings Marissa
