“Know that your words are enough.” Much needed. 💯
I've learned more from H.E.R. on TH-cam than I learned in a whole semester of songwriting classes in college.
same
So music on the way?
This is so cool how she is sharing her process. This is super helpful in understanding how to focus on writting.
Glad it was helpful!
She’s an amazing person to me, her truth and humility are beautiful. She is also so talented,
Bob marley had simple lyrics... and that's what made them profound. This is a great video, subscribed!
Thanks for subbing and welcome aboard!
He also had complex lyrics
He had deep lyrics
Nah bro
No woman no cry proof you wrong
Bro is a genius too woww
💯
I agree he is on it
He is so good with his music theory understanding. Most times when we get into rooms with producers that express themselves we create magic real nice and time just flies
Who is he? Kinda sad he didn't get properly mentioned on here/the description
Agreed, who is he? He is contributing a lot to this video too!
I can’t believe this is free she’s such a great artist
If people keep saying stuff like this, it won’t be free.
Gems…. Her multi instrument capacity is a beautiful gift she is blessed to share with the world. H.E.R genius reminds me of Prince…in her way .☔️
Aahh i see what happened there
Appreciation😊saluted
Changed my mind on the first line. Thinking too hard ended up wasting my time. I'd rather it be me and mine until the end of all time hahaha ha
barsss😂
Her low notes are smooth! I was pleasantly surprised to hear go that low. She's a mezzo it seems.
Whoo! H.E.R. shows why she's a pure force making her notes here legend.
Literally wrote a whole song to God in 20 minutes just off this method!! I’m shocked how Holy Spirit was flowing 😂 lol this was an amazing video and to me, her method can go for anything.. poetry, books, blogs!! lol this was str8 💎
Can i hear some of your music?
Praise God. I make music to glorify God and I feel the Holy Spirit when I write as well
Wow. Can't wait to try it out.
Wonder how the Holy Spirit will guide me 😅😅
I love this channel 🎉🎉
This may sound weird, but I'm not this kind of artist at all. My words are inspirations from the sounds around me. They are my attempt to connect through melody with the world. Words are actually secondary to me. I pick that words that match a melody I hear or imagine. So, it's interesting to hear about your process, and I appreciated it.
Edit:
Still there were somethings I personally relate to about your process. I wrote a christmas song for my feelings about my grandma who has passed on. When I sent it to my Aunt, she said it was so beautifully, not just vocally, but in that she couldn't even tell I was talking about someone who passed away. I miss her.
Same, I hear the melody and cadence with the vowel sounds and i need to invent words that match them (and the words need to be something I truthfully identify with, so that I can sing them well). So it’s challenging at times
The moment H.E.R. begins singing it comes together!
these two are so fun to watch, I learned so much watching this.
I know personally for me just talking through a situation and voice memoing things I say in natural conversation and the words just have the realness without the overthinking of trying to be poetic. then go back and listen to things that stand out. also if you just free write as if you were texting someone or that person etc it feels conversational. love their process im excited to try this
This is so right. It's hard to describe when something catches you and you just have to write it down. The feeling of resolution when a song is written and finished is such a profound conclusion. You've captured that moment in words and melody. This is why you can't force it. The best song come from emotion and experience, from that overwhelming need to encapsulate the moment.
That's a gem! I always did something like this and I felt dumb or not talented enough because I do exactly something like this but I don't believe in myself enough to trust the process. Thank you so much ❤
As someone who's been tried to write lyrics before, I was happy to know that I wasn't the only one thinking those thoughts when writing a story through lyrics or just lyrics in general.
So talented. She's such a cool and super super creative artist. That brother also cooking
Glad you enjoyed this!
With no words I’ll still have this on repeat
Man i know H.E.R since before she got her breakout and i immediately fell in love with her voice and style, being able to see her now explaining how she writes her songs is unbelievable. What a time to be alive
I think for me, my lyrics are generally improvised based on the feelings that the backing track are evoking. But I have done songs that started with a lyrical idea and composed and arranged a backing track for the lyrics. I think that for me, it is simply a matter of wanting to express myself musically. Clearly following the ideas in this video will help a person to find their genuine Voice.
“This is what I’m trying to say, sometimes the words get in the way “ is so thoughtful and powerful . I love when the concept is subverted to create a new thought form
Damn, her voice 🤧🌼🎼✨
The first line to the opening to this video... was everything i needed to hear.
My daughter is a big Her fan so I will definitely be sharing this video with her.
But hey Mothers Day is just around the corner so make sure you send her “The Mother’s Day Song “ by
Patrick Valentine Vance.
It will let her know how much you truly love your mom.
She's such a beautiful soul
This song writing session is everything!!! So inspiring ❤❤
Glad to hear this, thanks!
Presonus Studio One. I dig this DAW. Simple Easy To Use. Great Features and Awesome Plug-Ins. Teddy Riley turned Me on to Studio One in the early 2000's.
Can't wait to apply this to my music
Great!! Let us know how it goes!
H.E.R saying she doesn’t know ANY theory and trusts the feeling, knowing how amazing she is as a songwriter… just gave me SO much relief LOL. Not that I’ve felt stifled thinking about learning theory but I get what she’s saying about having the understanding of theory as essentially a “rule” or set of rules that constricts creativity to a degree. I understand it. 🙌🏿
The tutorials on this channel are sooo good 🎉 ty for helping me out with my own creative process
Watching you guys work is so cool. I just started playing the guitar and music writing, this was incredibly inspiring. Thank you! Stoked to follow 🤙
good lord, she is so amaizing
Amazing!! I cried while watching this...
I love H.E.R music process and also how she gone through each step by step 🥰 she is an amazing artist, very inspirational.
This was enlightening on so many levels. Thanks for it. Getting a glimpse of your process and seeing you two melding your brains together to make a song was amazing. It seems like so much fun!
this is valuable information I’m grateful I feel like I’m already becoming a better artist now by watching and learning
Wonderful, so glad to hear this!!
I wasn't able to get a chance to sign up for the class in time. Thank you😊🔥
this is a great sharing from HER and her team. I've always love seeing how do accomplished artists do these things like it's so easy for them. the building blocks can be applied onto anyone really but of course talent and practices would help a lot
i love her superbowl live performance. it was really live. u could actually see how live it was. it was amazingly live . so natural and live played. the vibrato you could hear totally matched the vibrato that u could see. live at its best. VERY live. a live player. very alive. and also played live. the guitar was totally live. a great live solo it was
Yessss this is so helpful! Super interesting to watch it come together and how generous of them to share with us their process 🙌
So glad!
Great to see the process! Very inspiring and educational
Glad you enjoyed it!
They’re so talented, love this 💓💓
Thanks, glad you liked it!!
This is so helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing this ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Love her thumb technique! First thing I thought of is if they are trying to find words to say, there’s a problem that needs to be addressed. There is some mystery happening that is choking them up. I would have gone darker and tragic. BUT That is my interpretation, I still love their direction.
Just inspired my next song you guys are incredible thank you🎉🎉🎉
My dream is to write and sing with HER
for all yall in the comment section doubting yourself and your artistry. DONT. if you know your voice in art must be heard, then that is a call to action. if you ignore this call a war inside your spirit will arise and for the rest of your existence you'll have to live with the fact that the world doesnt know your music, all because you're indecisive. MAKE A CHOICE, FOCUS ON DOING and just do it yall im talking to myself when i say this shit too.
This video was amazing! Thank y’all for this truly. It was for informative to see the process for y’all. It was also very validating as I have a very similar process but my lack of self confidence always makes it feel like the way I approach song writing is wrong. It’s good to know it is valid. I really loved when she said “water your songs.” That will definitely stick with me.
Thank you so much!!
Grateful for this I’m feeling a pang of conviction and righteousness because I know I’ve been judged for certain things that were done by the great here in this video, and it’s all been intuitive, instinctual, so I’m really grateful for why we do what we do, what works, and the reminder to always trust our gut
I love everything you both said here. I am better for this, many thanks for you'all.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love H.E.R. 🔥
Thank you so much for this. This made me feel so normal about my process and boosted my confidence. Definitely going to continue in music making and trust my instincts. ♥️ I love the advice “patience is key“. I feel less doubtful now and ready to make more stuff. I’m so appreciative of your vulnerability.
You're so welcome!
I love the cords she's playing. I can think of so many things to say.... I have songs so many times in my head. I can hear the tempo everything. But I can never get it all on paper. I've written any things. I figure in the end maybe I can lump all my titles together or something. Lol...I love love lo e music!
Thank you H.E.R.
This is pretty good, I wish I had a co-writer to bounce ideas off like this. The song sounds pretty cool.
I practice architecture for many years. I normally noddle musically to come with ideas with no mood in mind. H.E.R. Inspiring me to try to use my architecture design process to create a song. Interesting when I design a home for example I usually start out solving a problem, answering a question, using my imagination thru doodling which is a very loose form of sketching. Interesting.
This was great really loved their work they put in. Cant get the full song tho?
Learnt sooooo much. Thanks
You're welcome!
She's beautiful ❤️
So grateful this video came across my feed
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you, glad you liked it!
Sometimes writing on a guitar u keep in same feelings... And to easy to make good songs... So it depends but it good when u let ur feelings flows
I wish i had the musical ear, songwriting is fine as long as you know what chords or pattern goes perfect for a sound.. she's super talented! All i want is a talented person to write songs with😭
Genius.
💯
Dope 💎
Glad you liked it!
I Love H.E.R. I wish i could write songs like her.
The dude helped, give credit. These artist get all the credit, but behind the scene there are people who help structure and build "their" songs
Tech question... Anyone know what midi instrument and sound is being used on the keys? I need that in my studio!
hes so shy to sing even though hes a good singer 🔥
Awesomeee video. Thank you so much. Who knows the name of the guy working with H.E.R?
"Work tapes" is the Nashville term for voice notes. 🤔
Literally amazing talent, but I just came for the forty minutes of h.e.r talking in my ear. Damn, what a force
does anyone know what kind of program he's using when they go into the studio and start on the work tape?? would love to learn more about layering and doing this
thanks for the great interview/discussion! so cool to watch artists explaining their process at work. I love the simplify idea (when they're talking about chords - but also I guess evthg!) and the permission to get away from theory and to just sit and feel it out.
💜
It turns visual 🎉😂❤
I think of this wards like everyday ...
But smtime the wards get in ma way..two lines enough that's way sb 😊
my man fuk wit the Logic Pro lets go
