your definition of "the title" being equivalent to a thesis statement. i like this, this helps my academic brain a lot lol

I got a question for people about music writing or theory. If everyone follows the same patterns are we not just creating variations of the same thing? I know is more pleasing in certain forms. But different can be bad or good. Sometimes I wish people would break the mold more.

I like to think of songwriting as story telling. Tell me a story. Let me know why you need to tell that story. Tell me what can be learned from it. If thereās an aside, put it in a bridge. The story can be big or small. It can be about anything. But it should have a point. Use the common elements of song writing to shape the story and its conclusion.
Remember. Writing is about re-writing. You rarely get it right on the first go around. Donāt be afraid to get rid of bits that donāt work. Thereās always another way to say it.
Thatās my two cents.

This channel is really a cut above. So much creative guidance stuff on YT leaves you feeling more demoralised, like there's yet another thing you have to master or understand before you can start, plus loads of filler, intro, waffle and promotion. All your videos are concise, useful, encouraging and inspire me to actually get going with song writing rather than take another self-confidence slump. THANK YOU!

It's all about the hook. The listener should be able to repeat it after hearing it just once. Keep it simple, familiar and memorable.

I've been writing for 50 years and had a deal back in 1977. I love a chorus but there are songs that have no chorus that are great. Examples: Snowbird and Gentle on my Mind. For some reason these two songs work with no chorus. Personally I love a good chorus and it's generally where the hook lies.

One of the basic structure mistakes I've made in the past is go to the chorus too soon (after only 1 verse). It seems many pro songs have a full verse first (two sections) THEN the chorus. After that chorus sometimes the verses are half verses before the next chorus as the song develops. I think the reason I so often 'jumped' to the chorus too soon is I had the idea and wanted to get written down before I forgot it! haha True!

I can tell pretty clearly when a section of the song Iām writing isnāt working, but your videos have really helped me problem solve. So insightful and inspiring!
I usually pause your videos to start brainstorming songs Iām working on!

I think vague lyrics can be very powerful and beautiful, and resonate deeply with an audience. I'm surprised to hear you guys comment that vague lyrics bring a shallower experience for the listener! I think a mix of specific lyrics/message with vague lyrics is often the ticket.

I've watched several of you videos but this one is the first time I've heard your singing voice. SO GOOD!

David Bowie often repeated this one mantra āSwim against the stream.ā to avoid a generic approach to creativity. We live in a time where commercial music is just about appealing to the lowest common denominator. Maybe some tutorials on how to avoid standard ideas and clichĆ©. Sadly there are so many videos teaching people how to be other people.

Maybe i missed it in the video, but I feel that it's important to mention that not all songs need a chorus.
