As A songwriter revealed in Nashville (McClure and Trowbridge) and in London, England (Millennium Manufacturing Music), I assumed I’d give some pointers for individuals who are aspiring songwriters.
Right now’s suggestion: Be Versatile!
The Beatles have been maybe probably the most versatile bands to ever exist. How did they do it? Effectively, they’d have a topic in hand, say “A day In The Life”, or “Paperback Author”. From there they’d get an thought as to what the music would sound like for the subject material.
As soon as that they had the music written, they’d then write the lyrics. What number of songs by the Beatles sound the identical? None. They have been sticklers on even repeating sure catchy phrases which may have been utilized in different songs of theirs, ensuring that they weren’t used once more.
In writing the music, that is one key place the place versality can actually turn out to be useful! What number of instances have you ever heard a performer play and each tune sounds the identical? Do not permit your self to fall into that lure.
