Do people write with this in mind or is it overthinking or useful for analyzing and practicing

Yep. Keep your tools sharp and ready for when inspiration strikes

Water. A bath An engine. A refrigerator. Various electronics for that matter. An anus. What did I miss?

Who would listen to anything this guy has to say about songwriting. He’s a very good guitar player, but not a good songwriter in my opinion. It’s all subjective I realize but that’s my take.

The snippets from BULLY don’t contain AI, and he also recently made a post on Instagram saying North reignited his passion for music, so hopefully that gives hope for the new album

so the cannon method is kinda same to this right or an aspect of this method, because we are sharing details through verbs or actions and keeping it all related to to the topic ( cannon )

Thank you for these tips! I have a question: what do you do if, for example, yesterday you composed a motif and the next day you suddenly realize that this motif is similar to an already existing song and you can't unhear it anymore. And motivation to write the song further disappears. What to do in this case?

That explosive last part in "All I Need" with the cluster piano chords makes me choke up in public. It's devastating.

Is this tied in with lyrical phrasing?

how can i write lyrics without a melody? how can i write a song for it to write its own melody

I always thought “your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)” was literal as in she is cold because they are out dancing at night and she is probably wearing a party dress that exposes her shoulders (not uncommon for girls to go out clubbing without a jacket and be cold by the end of the night and ask a guy for his jacket)

I just discovered you today. I'm a beginner, and your videos are going to be very useful to me. Thanks a lot!!

you the best to explain excat how to write lyrics

I’m sorry, what?

I'm glad your channel exists. I read Pat Pattingson's book on lyric writing and thought I was good to go, but the universe of lyric writing is clearly more expansive than I thought.

A thousand ways to leave your lover. A billion ways to write a song.

Baby Shark is a great song ,just ask my Grandaughter lol❤

thank you !!!!

Bloom and Open the Floodgates are two of my personal Thom favorites. Phenomenal lyrical structure in both

Been trying to figure out how to write this way for years.. Make vague unspecific poetic language that can be understood and felt by a majority of people who can relate in a multitude of different ways that matches the vibe of the instrumentation

Basically say what you mean if you have something to say, and say it in a way that works in a song because you’re writing one. Listen to successful songs and great songs and just do what they are doing, which is basically that.

Creep is not a good song.

It's somewhat ironic that "Something" is the second-most-recorded song ever -- behind "Yesterday"... and from two members of the same group.... also, that the only song that was solely written by "the team of" G.Harrison & P.McCartney -- those same two composers --was "In Spite Of All The Danger" [with The Quarrymen/Quarry Men] in 1958.

He’s on crack

this changed my perspective on music, you changed a lot and you thought me a lot thanks.

I don't believe quality songwriting involves 'tricks'. It involves a gift.

If you are not a genius, it will not work.

The creative muse who granted the Beatles with their songwriting techniques supplied them with songwriting gold that transcends the passage of time. Even the earliest songs they wrote have an energy most artists only wish they could have.

The skill in writing good lyrics is knowing when to let the listener fill in the blanks with their own experience, vs directing their thought with your own ideas

Take the beanie off and embrace the BALDNESS ........ Is that a good lyric ???????????????????😏

3:25 “way to repetitive?” No, only Hey Jude. No idea how that was a hit. Maybe if it was 3 minutes.

Thanks for creating content that’s always so informative and engaging.

Sounds like what Phil Collins did 😃

Lost my husband of 44 yrs unexpectedly and would love to find someone to take his poetry he wrote me and the love notes he left me into a song. Is this something you can do?

Ha, I thought it was going to be about 'canon' as in Row Your Boat.

Five percent inspiration, 95 percent perspiration.

I Me Mine

I also always start with lyrics and have a melody for it and just like hum it etc. But does anyone have tips on how to add chords to it, cuz everytime I pick a chord progression and sing over it, it sounds horrtibe.😅

What an amazing and helpful video

Who runs the world? Girls Who runs this mother? Girls. Who runs the world? Girls... All on canon. Beyonce is a lyrical genius. Just kidding. I found this video interesting, it's all true. To expand, when I write I do this, but also do it on a 3 verse level, where each verse tells of a different aspect of that canon. E.g. first verse talks about playing as a child, second verse playing now, and third verse would be playing in the future (to give the most basic possible example).

Opinionnative is a new word for it!

After loving the song since it was released in... 🤔...the late 60's(?), I only just noticed the power of alliteration. Listen to *_"Helplessly Hoping" by Crosby Stills Nash and Young."_* Almost every word in a line starts with the same letter. Eg. *_"Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby...."_* The words don't have any apparent meaning, just a word salad from a dictionary I suppose.

I generally enjoy your videos and find them helpful but I find it frustrating that they always end with a link to a video that shows the next step. I just end up watching the videos for an hour or so and get too overwhelmed to actually start writing.

Art just can’t be quantified in TH-cam videos. You just need to express your ideas as much as possible. This way you’ll get better at expressing YOUR ideas or discover that you don’t really have much to say. Either way it’s a win.

John Lennon has left the chat.

This might be the best, most succinct video, most valuable video on songwriting I've found yet. Thanks so much. You got me wanting to get back into it.

To reach those that need to hear it this way

That wasn’t my experience at all. The canon method really resonated with me. It means to identify what is important in the universe of the topic you are writing about and think of only those details that support and reinforce the core concepts values. I think his video is pretty self evident. Very useful . I constantly commit the crime Putting too many details in , and only skimming the surface while going off on tangents. Failing to recognize that every line should support and or advance the core meaning of the song. And in a pop song that is absolutely critical

I've learnt recently that start with what emotion you want the song to be about and that's a good starting point for song-writing or melody writing. Proved it's point this afternoon while i was bashing about on the piano.
