As a songwriter, i absolutely agree with Post that a really good song comes from a organic process. Whenever i try to make a song with the mindset of getting something good from it, it never flows.
Dunno dude. Id say habitually writing hones that spark to happen much more often. Still gotta put in 10,000 hours writing and hone your craft so that inspiration hits you often.
@@B.OKwithShayFacts bro. Ive been writing at least near 500 rap, trap, sad, emo, sex, pretty boy type shit, drill songs, i go everywhere when it comes to creativity, you have to soak up as much as you can.

This video helped me remember and understand that i can’t control my inspiration, and that i have to stay true to Myself. Thanks Post and the people who put this compilation of videos together, well done.

very true. So many times I had writers block and could not for the life of me force myself to finish what I was writing, but later it would just come to me
My trick is just to write nonsense and then change it later. Often halfway through writing something stupid and meaningless the right line will come to me.
Marketing is everything. My channel is living proof… most of my tracks I make within a week and it’s just me improvising mostly… without the lofi branding my tracks would just be random instrumentals.

Hit songs required a few ingredients good melodies, catchy hooks and decent lyrics. Coming up with the catchy melodies and make everything blend in is the hard part it requires creativity and talent
I'm a writer and Post's process is amazingly similar to my own. He talks about how it just comes "naturally" and without force. I don't even think I do anything more than go into a fugue state and type. Next thing I know, the story or essay is done.

Your ideas are far from mistakes, it is very organic. Your sound, style, personality, is just plain fucking cool. His music really is spiritual to alot of folks. Thank you sir, you are an exceptional story writer/singer/songwriter/actor & I believe you are a true empath that works on the musical concert level.
Honestly, out of all the songs I've ever recorded. The song that flowed to me the most natural way, is my MOST liked/streamed song out my whole catalog. It showed me that, when you're trying "too hard" with the lyrical miracle, bragadocious stuff, it comes off less authentic. BE AUTHENTIC. LET IF FLOW. It doesn't always have to be about crazy rhymes. SN: I wrote this song passed midnight. Literally looking up at the stars at night. Today, it's my most streamed song. And to think, i debated on even dropping it. Im glad I DID.

Wow! This dude is something! He's right! A hit song or award winning performance ..it must come from your passion, your expression! you can't really control the process. Madonna once said " It's all about the work, the project. Success is a byproduct of the work." Anyone can do an impression of a singer or actor. To do something Original, Something that Hasn't been done a hundred times....Whoa! Malone is original and different from the rest! His brutal honesty, a sense of organic and familiar... His " I've effed up, but I'm still trying to be happy!" Is what he brings to his music. His song Chemical...... it's probably too honest for some. too candid, explicit That's what makes it cool! He's Not afraid to admit he effed up! So many performers act as though they execute everything perfectly! Malone isn't like that! He's Honest and he appreciates his fans!
It’s misleading because there’s not a magic formula to write hits, and that’s the whole point of being a songwriter: the fun is in the endless search for that magic
@@06Teksso what? It’s not addressed because as I said there’s no set rules or a formula to write a ‘hit song’. If there was you’d just buy it or learn it and we’d all become millionaires. You never know what the public wants so you just gotta keep writing tunes, improving your craft and one day one might blow up. The title is clickbait but there’s gems there if you know where to look for
Make TH-cam shorts lip singing the song and post it a million times if it’s a hit TH-cam will let you know and people will use the sound in their shorts and it’ll be a hit
The difference between him and unsuccessful music artists is that he perfectly happy with letting those "mistakes" get finished, and released into the world. Most artists stuck in their bedroom have those same mistakes all over their hard drive but don't release them because they are scared or they don't sound like they hoped or sound like other 'professional' output whatever that means.
Finding the worth in the tangents of creation and shaping the worth within the little nuggets of tangential creativity and non-linear planning is the genius of creatively producing sounds
Well I most say this the hardest audience honestly talking is TH-cam you can make music because you love music that’s fine , he is right about those inspirations moments that you make sure you make notes but there is something else that must of them still keep secret
Post Malone is a method actor his father owns the football stadium where the Dallas Rams play. He was put into this position. I know artists in the music industry that have personally written and write for Post Malone. I still love his music it is what it is. F the fame
I think it was Thomas Edison who said "The “genius” hangs around his laboratory day and night. If anything happens he’s there to catch it" You must be ready to "catch" it.
This is true i wrote song also and i dont know the melodies just come naturally i cannot explain. Thnks God for this. When i put intentionally to write a song i got no results but when i just let things happen naturally, not forcing myself - then it comes naturally. You just have to wait till it comes to you ...
I have lucid dreams. When I awake, I hum the melodies into my voice memos app. Once I start working on the foundation of the melody, I start building a song structure around it. Listen to A Village of Vigils
When im making a song i have to had gone through something that brings up strong emotions for me personally that’s always how I find my hook and everything else comes together eventually
yeah music sometimes happens but you gotta remember those musicians who stood the test of time sat down and WROTE music. BWV 565 didn't he happen on a toilet seat bach wrote the thing by knowing the language of notes and how to use them to make sentences that are understandable by anyone.

Stay real brother ❤
The organic process of taking a shit
Its not the song its the package. The person delivering the song is everything. Not to mention lables not so subtle way of planting it into our minds
The thing they all have in common is inspiration. As long as there’s inspiration you can create anything

I made a lot of songs back then, called "follow me, try again, and a lot more.." so its so easy for me to understand him..
Hit songs required a few ingredients good melodies, catchy hooks and decent lyrics. Coming up with the catchy melodies and make everything blend in is the hard part it requires creativity and talent
It’s hard in the beginning.
Some of my best songs that I wrote just came to me....I just got on the mic n started recording phrases n once I finish, I'm always amazed

Sharppp
Discipline and Focus can also bring results. Intent and Purpose also will drive Creativity. I cannot afford to wait around for inspiration. I look for it. And then work at it.
Its so hard to write great songs and definitely hard to "produce" it after its written,,I HATE doing it by myself for real.
I feel this!
Writing is easy to me.. but producing vocals and mixing it.. I can't get it down for the life of me. I been self learning for a couple years. I got the basics of compression, eq, reverb, etc .

It takes me like half a day to write one song lol then I gotta revise it when I hear it over and over. So it takes me really a day
Facts, I’ve written many songs in the shiter as well 😂 also dont force it, make use of prompts but sometimes it just comes to you.
The narrator makes me feel like we're about to see two post Malone's charge each other for dominance over a fish
Like a NatGeo documentary 😂
10% music 90% promo
I have been listening to post for a very long time I must say you are a great and natural writer
Wow! This dude is something!
He's right!
A hit song or award winning performance
..it must come from your passion, your expression!
you can't really control the process.

His " I've effed up, but I'm still trying to be happy!"
Is what he brings to his music.

it's probably too honest for some.
too candid, explicit
That's what makes it cool!
He's Not afraid to admit he effed up!
So many performers act as though they execute everything perfectly!
Malone isn't like that!
He's Honest and he appreciates his fans!

thanks for this compilation.

it always depends on the artist but the best art comes when you're in a place of tranquility, yet also turmoil.
I feel everything he’s saying doing this for over 10 years I feel it
that magic thing is the soul you put in to it. its a part of you that comes out.
The pressureforcing a passion into a job is the death of creativity
I think it was Thomas Edison who said "The “genius” hangs around his laboratory day and night. If anything happens he’s there to catch it" You must be ready to "catch" it.
Brilliant
it's called creativity.
So young, so handsome and so dang talented!
Shaping the shotgun blast of creative tangents into a Lazer guided idea; is a gifted producer's talent
This is true i wrote song also and i dont know the melodies just come naturally i cannot explain. Thnks God for this.
