How to write a song part 2

Now comes the actual, physical writing on some sort of visual form. We must write it all down even if that means skipping places where syllables and rhymes don't match. The important thing is that you WRITE IT DOWN. The worst thing you could do is keep it in your head. It will go away to a very special place of dead melodies. I hope to visit there someday and resurrect some top 10 hits.

How to write a song Part 1

It all starts with an idea or a melody that refuses to leave. So, you start to "mull" it over and over in your mind. As a songwriter, one who has many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many set backs, my mind instantly starts to organize the body of the song. I start to ask myself questions like, does the melody sound like a chorus, verse, bridge or break? What is the song trying to say? I try different melodic approaches searching for the common link. My mind drifts, I start to think about the songs from artists I respect. I analyze what they did in a song I like and try to use some of the same things they did.

Letter From God

There is no need to fight. There is no need to search for that "thing" you are to do. My child I created you for this purpose. I designed you to be you. I infuse your mind with dreams. I send melodies to your heart. I drive the passion into your soul that wakes you up in the morning causing you to pick up the guitar and pick out a tune. I AM what keeps you from never giving up, because to give up would be to leave your calling. You see I made you a song writer. Take it or leave it. That's what you are. There is nothing more that you would rather do and the sooner you take ownership of that fact the sooner you can move into MY WILL. I have a plan. This is the BIG picture. My plan is all there is, and my plan is all there will ever be. Yes, you can be like Jonah and try to outrun me, but let me just save you the energy and say, "Be what I made you". I lovingly and intricately made you for me; for my purpose and desires. I love you and only I, the creator of you, knows what you are made for, and you my child are a songwriter.

I Love you,

GOD
