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

Hey great video.. If you want to write a song, of course it needs to come from the soul and be deep and meaningful and all that but, in reality, music follows form and meter.. I would suggest looking up some of your favorite songs and writing out the structure of the songs and visually looking at how it's laid out.. Pop music like T Swift is notoriously structured and fit around a specific form.. When I write music, I generally try to figure out a hook and make it as catchy as possible, and then build around that.. The chorus/hook should be your strongest part in the song and everything else should just compliment that message.. Think of it as cooking a meal, not any one ingredient is going to make the dish great, but everything put together in the right ways can be magical..Hope this helped.. Keep on Rocking!!!
