How to write a good song?

Answer 1

write about something you love, so it is easy to write about. and just keep making up words, and eventually it will just flow, it might not come all at once, but keep trying.

Answer 2

just come up with an idea for the kind of song you want to do and what about then just right what u feel until it sounds right to you ive already written three songs that way and yea a little practice wouldn't hurt either

Answer 3

think of a main idea, like family and little kids or animals or being happy or something like that, then keep adding ideas but get a good rythem  

Answer 4

i have wrote many songs (on guitar) and in my mind its pretty good but that might be just me but anyways what i do is "start with a tune" and then some lyrics might come to you if that's the type of song your talking about if not i cant help you,but if it is i will go on,like i said maybe lyrics will come to you and you put it all together im not sure that helped you but thats just how i do it.

Answer 5

Well you should type it all out. Show it to some people. Then get some help to get beats to go with it. And then maybe you should go to a publishing company and see if they like it.

Good luck

Answer 6

Think about the message you want to portray. Is it about love? Sadness? Parody? Whatever the genre, step away from being the creator and think about what type of song you would like.

Look at a couple of songs you really like. Pick out the things from each that you like, and things that you don't. For the things you do like, try to convert them into your song, but 'in your own words'. For the things you don't like, avoid using them.

Don't use words that are common in every song, try to use thesaurus.com to spice up the words.

Individuality is what makes the greatest of songs.

Another tip is that you want the beat of the song to match up with the emotion. A sad and sorrowful song isn't going to be raging fast, but there are exceptions.

The title should be unique, and fit the tone and mood of the song. Or, irony of the title seems to make for funny songs. Generally, the title of the song is used in a line of the song, but if the title is the message itself, it gives people a heads-up on what type of song it is.

Other than that, there are plenty of wikihow.com articles on it, but what I have written here is my own personal knowledge, but it is the most common of information. Sorry for the long letter, and best of luck on composing!

Answer 12

Just put how you feel, all your emotions and feelings onto paper...then try and make them ryme if you can..but it doesnt have to be in ryme. It may take a few copies to get it...but it will all come together

Answer 13

you must first get inspired by something. i wrote an awesome song after i watched the movie August Rush. Music is a form of poetry, so you must know how to make powerful words rhyme, or seem dramatically emotional.  A good emotional song would be like the song Fix You by Coldplay. Just let the words flow.
