For those aspiring song writers. I’m going to attempt to write a guide on how song writing can be done. Before that one must realize that song writing is a creative process and therefore there is no steadfast rule that it must be done a certain way. It however has been proven that there are certain methods that generally work or else there is no point in music education. This however is how I approach song writing.
Step 1:
Determine the type of song you are about to write. Love song, sad song, break-up song, happy song and etc….
As for me I am going to write a wedding song.
Some people get inspired by a tune in their head then start penning it down. But my favorite song writer of all time Diane Warren apparently does not do it that way. She locks herself away and just brainstorms. You see, if we wait for inspiration all the time then it’s going to be very difficult to write songs constantly because let me ask you this, which of us are constantly inspired?
You can go to www.realsongs.com and preview all Diane Warren’s top hits around the world. You’d be surprised by how many of them you have fell in love with.
