Song-Writing

If you're going to write a song, I don't think you should start with the music. I think you should start with an emotion, and try to put words to it. Create a story around how your feel, in poetry form. Then, refine it. So it isn't so rhyme-y. If that's how you write poetry. Nobody likes a song that straight up rhymes unless its rap. Once you have all the words down, pick a single instrument. Just one, make a melody and then add more. If you can't play an instrument, that makes this significantly harder. Trust me, I know. I can't play anything. But I wish I could. I think I might be an okay song writer if I could read/write music. But I can't. It's too much like math, I don't understand it. I should probably take a class. But just like learning a language its mostly about repetition. I'm just not that self-motivated. Or interested in learning. As long as I can sing by ear, I really don't have a reason to learn how to read it, feel me? Anyway, that was just my advice. You don't have to take my word for it or anything.
