Writing songs - how to write good songs.#1: How unique should your songs be? Practise writing songs which sound familiar to people. You cannot be too different. You should probably attempt to pattern your songs after the hottest songs on the radio. If you want to impress a record label, your music should be original, but your songs shouldn't sound completely different to anything they have ever heard before. You should be able to strike a balance.

Avoid the mistake of not focusing on a single idea or emotion. Your song should not be going in too many directions. You should ask yourself what the point of your song really is. Your lines shouldn't be fighting with each other. Ensure that your song has a specific theme. #4: Writing when you wake up in the morning. I have found that when I wake up in the morning, my mind is full of ideas. How about you? Capitalize on this and you'll not only be writing songs on a regular basis, but your songs will reflect a great degree of what I call "morning brilliance". #5: Writing regularly. Practise writing songs on a regular basis. It has often been said that songwriting is 90% perspiration and 10% inspiration. You may or may not agree. However, don't just sit there and wait for songs to come to you. Put some effort and reap the results. Procrastination will take you no where. #6: Using "tools" to facilitate the process. If you're struggling to come up with ideas when writing songs, the rhymes just don't seem to fit, the chord progressions just don't come to mind or songwriting appears to be a hassle, you should probably try to grab hold of whatever "tools" that can help facilitate the process. You may want to consider using "tools" such as rhyming dictionaries and songwriting software when writing songs. Really wanna write better songs? Click here to check out Veteran Songwriting Secrets.
