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 (edited)

Thanks for your post which has become a very valuable and full of ideas guide for songwriters .
Here is how I do it:

  1. I write a saying, sentence, something I or someone said and it is worth remembering.
  2. I shuffle the words to make a rhyme out of it, many times it’s all it takes, sometimes I use synonyms to achieve it. You can rhyme a whole paragraph of a book that way through a little text modification.
  3. I was most successful at that using Facebook posts published just to myself. If I get stuck and the song doesn’t develop I leave it and usually get inspired again by my memories reminded by Facebook next year etc.
  4. I was really inspired and started believing I can do it by rappers (I prefer rap music without bad words🎸), I could see so many people writing texts, expressing themselves.
    I hope this will help you and inspire you to use things most natural and working for you, you are a celebrity/important enough to express yourself and be heard and contribute.
    Please follow my more detailed post on that I am going to write soon. All the best! 🎤🎸

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and insights!! Using synonyms to help the lyrics rhyme is a great way to look at it! I am not very good with that sort of thing, but that gives me a framework to work from.

How fun that you used Facebook memories to inspire yourself again!

Thanks again for your thoughtful advice!
