How To Write a Song #3 - How To Write Lyrics

[alpunkbrewster]

So pls tell Me how long this takes?

[alpunkbrewster]

Can you speak Slower?.

[tutorialconr]

@alpunkbrewster Can you spend more time watching a video?

[alpunkbrewster]

@tutorialconr Sorry, I was just excited but i got the hang of it now thanks to my Coach!..

PS he says the internet isnt good for shit like this!.

[maurizioviera]

I've just bought the course (includes 2 eBooks en PDF format + an audiobook) Is seems very clear and direct to the point.



[PianoPlayingDave69]

It's funny because this actually does work. This should have way more views. It is actually groundbreaking. People need to realise this.

[SMWhit3out]

I was actually more interested in how writing lyrics works in conjunction to chords and such then how to get a theme together.

[TheKalle671111]

sad im from sweden and did not understand 1/3 of the video

[AMANDAtheAWESOMEone]

This sounds great!

Recently... I've been struck with an urge to become a lyricist. I've been writing in journals/diaries since about 9 years old. I can write in a journal all day, usually about nothing or whatever is happening at the moment, I take it with me. haha. It was like a Twitter or a internet blog of my time. Usually still is.

But any time I try to write lyrics.... I get the biggest writer's blocks ever!

But I will overcome those, hopefully with this method. haha

[LucyBellTvcomingsoon]

silly kids, the words come to you in time :)

[AMANDAtheAWESOMEone]

@LucyBellTvcomingsoon haha. Unless you're like me and feel like you have no time! aish. I don't know what to do anymore. ;D

[menoziinrevoltado]

From a guy who wrote a song about the people he met in a beach.

[ORSUMfezbubble]

This was good, Im writing a song about a panda and a armadillo who go to a supermarket to buy some bread so they can feed the ducks. (:

I have 3 and a1/2 paragraphs xD

[Liibbyyyy]

@ORSUMfezbubble Dude, that comment made my day! Seriously thats epic :DDD

[ORSUMfezbubble]

@Liibbyyyy

plot twist!

The ducks die.

As the armadillo and panda poisoned the bread,

[Liibbyyyy]

@ORSUMfezbubble Ohmygod! LETDOWN :( rip little guy.

[ORSUMfezbubble]

@Liibbyyyy

Algoods i'm pretty sure the ducks had it coming, they were probably a strange mutant hybrid version of the duck that were killing the local civilians of hushafabfab island.

[Liibbyyyy]

@ORSUMfezbubble that's a good point. ducks can be so sneaky these days. watch your back, kids.

[writesongs4you]

Greatest love song ever written? Jealous Guy by John Lennon.

[CassandraAntares]

great tips, my songs usually come from my subconscious.. thanks for these tips

[gtrimble2000]

Thanks, my friend and I are writing a song and this helped!

[JustK8]

as smart as it can be. Thank you!!! I find this very very helpful!

[aealcwinder]

I base the songs I write on my life.

If something is happening in your life for example: something exciting, tragic, sad, funny, happy

Then think about the event and words or lines of the song start to form in your head.

Grab a bit of paper or whatever and write it down before you forget again.

That is a tip for you guys. Base the song on something that has atualy happened to you then it will have really come from the heart :)

[Xtremegamer79]

Thank you so much!

[tingatngatingatinga]

i love this i could be applied to anything... :D Thanks!!

[3N4CH05]

"The 'idearer' appears".!

Thank you for posting this video, I will subscribe and attempt this "Magic Method" - the chords are already with me, I only have to think of a not-so-horrible melody and lyrics.



[SuperDomo321]

thank you i have been wondering how famus singers do there work im gonna write a song now so wish me luck thx agen i hope you have a good day

[MissySmith94]

i keep trying to write a song about a specific someone in my life right now and i cant seem to do it. so can someone maybe help me write a song. ill give you all the info if you message me. please ,thank you ?!!?! or maybe you can give me advise. cause its about a guy. and well ya

[Rxk3r]

I HATE writing lyrics.. however, I have friends that like to hear words when were all toasted and playing so I better learn some.. ahh, a magic method should do just fine.. Their all drunk anyways..

[PoirePerry]

Soul destructing......yes lol

[MysteriousBarricades]

Wow!!! Its SOOOO simple. Here I was, going around thinking that songwriting required both talent and years of practice... turns out, I don't need either--there's a "magic method". Who woulda thunk?!

[UnitedSting]

This is someone who is actually making some sense,

breaking it down so we can all understand it ( well except for the fast speaking)

showing us a simple, yet effective way,

and he sounds english, (and englishmen are good entertainers). lol

[AnthoniJi]

awesome!

[106LOVE106]

i got confused... 

[calzo101]

the lyrics dont have to make sence!

[thecatnalex]

Lol this sounds like something from Inception, but Im gonna try it

[zakorsumtin]

his S's gave me a really bad headache in the first five seconds

[CMSpida]

The reason why this works is

when you look over something alot over a short space of time they naturally become a part of your subconcious mind. Which means you will probably dream about it. So you dream about the song, hear the song in your dream then you can write it

[Mythlover133]

All you did was waste time the first minute of the video.

[AlexMoores]

this guy sounds like richard hammond

[MadiiMadison]

This inspired me and all :) But.. I think your voice was a bit boring to me, try adding a bit of a bounce to it :) It interests people so much more xxx

[xWhocaresxX]

i have one question...

how do you gather materials

[misterhed]

@xWhocaresxX

Writing down your thoughts about a subject.

[jeremyrox22]

i wrote song lyrics for my bro's and my band it was about when i got all puffy and there were spots all over me (sorta like the pleague)

[Moleman54321]

I'd like to hear some of your songs that you write. Is there some where that I can?

[paulmercy]

I agree. This is a very inspiring tutorial series. I'd also like to hear the song.

After following the initial creative process, I've found it very helpful to set aside a rough song-sketch for a year, "forget about it" and then come back to it. Something in the rediscovery triggers a creative flood that is well worth the wait.

[twilight8970lmk]

wait! WAT?

[laurasherri97]

ha ha. . . u sound funny

[iRythum]

Thanks this helped!

[harrystone632]

you make it sound so easy oh and by the way im a drummer that has no band so far so i cant do what you said ... "i just started playing on my guitar and it all fitted in" on drums it dont quiet work like that so what shall i do ??? :S

[joeshmoe123456789101]

I suggest you start with the piano. If you don't have one, then go out and buy a cheap keyboard (try craigslist or ebay for a used one) and start working around the keyboard till something flows. The piano should be used by every musician not just as an instrument, but as a writing tool as well.

[harrystone632]

stage one is all well and good but i dont get how you put them together... even i can just sit there writing words down about my holiday, but i dont find it that easy :(

[cdynckl]

Sounds magical! I'm gonna have to attempt this.

[Deciblaster]

pretty cool, I think I might actually make an effort to try this one... most of these crap- ass video makers can't tell their ass from a hoel in the ground, let alone help ME write a good song.

thanks man, great video my friend

[FritzOmnibus]

I love the preamble to this section. It's worthy of a lyric itself. Eeeendless loop of frustration -the song.

[6uitarded]

I have no clue what to write about in stage one???

[itto44]

check out my tutorial on how to write lyrics :D

[UnGreatFool]

this is awesome.. a good way to start =)

[punksk8rnik]

thanks

[waltribeiro]

Cool!

[aNthoNyPoRath]

This actually works and is a much more logical way of song writing then most I've seen.

[antipuppet123]

thanks you this was helpful
