How Do You Write Songs?
|
It’s not an easy question to answer. Let’s look at it through a wider lens for a second. All forms of writing involve the creative process. Whether it’s a novel, a movie script, a short story, or a song, the process of delving down inside and coming up with something original is the same. You need the germ of an idea. That’s what makes you a writer. You must have that starting point. Ask yourself, “What do I want to say?”
Don't Get Ripped Off

The entertainment business has more than its fair share of unscrupulous people trying to take a buck from some idealistic young wannabe. There are so many frightening stories in the music business about people having their songs stolen or never getting their rightful earnings. There are managers running off with concert ticket proceeds and agents shelving acts that aren’t producing. But you can’t let that stop you from finding a manager, a producer, or an agent. Instead, you need to learn something about how the business operates so you know what the “norms and conventions” are.
