Question

How can i Write my own song??or how do i atleast start it?

Answer 1

I'm not too experienced but so far ive written 2 songs.

..I started with a topic then thought about what I wanted  the main message to be so I wrote a chorus about that then for the verses i told the story leading to what the chorus was about then after i wrote 2 verses i wrote my "reflection" or my "plea" about the topic...

I hope I was some help.

Answer 2

wow that is really complicated. umm ok here goes.

general structure to remember:

intro

verse

pre-chorus(optional)

chorus

post chorus(optional)

verse

Pre-chorus(optional)

chorus

bridge

breakdown

chorus

outro

thats a very general stucture

lyrics are usually put to pretty much all pieces but not necesary for all. umm it would really help if i knew what instruments you play if any.

but what i do is first start with the instrumentation then do lyrics. you can do it the other way around but this is how i do it.after you have a general structure for your instrumentation and lyrics you show it to the band and have them add their touch.

This is the most general way to do it. writing songs is hard and can not be forced. but as far as the lyrics go, there is 2 ways to do it:

1) think of a topic and describe it. use a lot of adjectives and a min. amount of pronouns. alliteration sounds really good. basicly write poetry. if you have trouble writin then find your center and regroup

2) just start writing. thats what i do. just write. think of what sounds good. and make sure that it has a matching amount of sylabals.

umm basicly you are asking me to  explain an emotional process. writing songs is very much an introspective journey.

have you ever seen the dewy cox story. the last part where he is like totally depressed and has writers block. that is very acurate. it is frustrating. it is depressing. it is a lot of work. but it is probably the most satisfying thing that i do. just keep trying. ive written songs that i write in a night and play and practice and never show any1 because they arent neccessarily my style or they were just practice song. songs that i wrote to learn how to write.
