Songwriting
Techniques
That
Actually
Work
Just when you thought youd tried everything.
Googling songwriting tips will give you about 2
million results in 0.42 seconds.Thats a lot of tips.
And yknow what? Theres a good chance a lot of
them wont work. Thats because writing songs is a
personal process.
These tips are the special ones. The ones that put
you and your ideas first. The ones that open up
some time to really focus, experiment and make
your songs work.
Its all about getting back into yourself to find that
song gold (cue that warm, fuzzy feeling).

7. PUT A LID ON IT
Infinity exists. The only proof you need is a blank
DAW. Theres infinite VST plugins, infinite eects,
infinite processing.
But infinity isnt always a good thing. Sometimes the
best way to better your songwriting is to set a gear
limit.
Start with a strict list of what youre gonna use.
Limit your ideas to your gear list. Ideas will take
shape much faster than having to constantly decide
between a million options.
It might sound weird but limitations can actually
make you more creative. Because you have to work

Then, ask yourself, What can I do to this word (phrase) that seems right to you, that
fits other parts of the song: (2) Do whats called a random entry. Pick a word or
object that has nothing whatever to do with the rhyme, or word, or phrase youre
trying to fit to the song. Ask yourself, What are the qualities or features of this object
might apply to this song? Remember the oject must not be related in any way to the
object youre trying to fine-tune.

Set up a synthesizer with a sample & hold modulator in the filter cuto. Play one note
and listen to the sound from the other side of the door.

have foreign films playing all the time, with the sound o,then when you get stuck for
a lyric, just write down whatever it says on the t.v. south east asian horror or sci/fi
