RE: Dear Steemit Songwriters ... I Have Never Written an Original Song Before and am Looking for Advice on How to Start

in #originalmusic7 years ago

My advice is for you to start with your favorite aspect of life (love, societal issues e.t.c) express how you feel about this situations be it in reality or fictional. Not bad if you're stuck on the chorus for days, keep humming the melodies that comes to your head. You get better after each song, let other writers you believe in their works critique it, with this you improve and adjust on previous mistakes. God bless

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and advice! Starting by focusing on some of my favorite aspects of life is a great idea. I really like that you say to focus on the emotion and feeling of the situation. I can see how that would dry out more raw emotion, hence better lyrics.

Thanks again for taking time to share your thoughts and advice!
