How to Write a Good Song

You don't have to have a degree in literature or music theory, to know how to write a good song. I don't have a degree in literature or music theory and I think I do "ok". If I can do "ok" well, I have faith in you, to do "ok". It is important to have an open mind when writing a song, because it prevents writers block, but allows you to put the lyrics before the song, which is extremely important. Whether you are extroverted or introverted, remain optimistic because this will allow you to write more and develop wisdom through writing. The key is motivating yourself to construct your song.

When it comes to writing a song, you must know that every great song must have an origin (a story or message), a premise (the idea or reason behind the story or message), and a meaning (perhaps the meaning of the idea and the reason). It must be original and possess universalism. You don't want your song to be boring and meaningless nor do you want your song to be cheesy and extreme, as it will not sell.

Today, I have developed three main approaches to writing a good song that I am going to share with you.

The first approach is "brainstorming from a title".For instance, the title of the song is "Love Actually" (we'll use that as an example). When you think of the song title "Love Actually" what do you think of? List all of your thoughts on a piece of paper. Try to act quickly, but not too quickly that your brain will explode. This could take a day, a week, a month, or even a year. Just let your brain react naturally to your thoughts. In your thoughts, they can be anything from just one words to phrases to sentences to even paragraphs. After you have written as many thoughts as you could, start constructing your song.
