Hi Dennis,

Re: Songwriting
Good songs can reveal themselves in many different ways, however, for me, it usually begins with a thought that grabs me in some way. The thought, or idea, usually has a mood that supports the feel.ElectedPlus wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 9:29 pmHi Dennis,

Capturing the initial inspiration can be as elusive as remembering a dream so I work fast to record the basic idea.
The main lyric is all that matters - verse lyrics can come later. I keep it simple at this point.
If I have to come back to work on it, I try to stay focused on the initial feel and stay true to it.
I also find it good to write lots of songs without worrying if they're good or not. The good ones will stand out and you can polish them later. - DD
