What Makes A Song Sound Bad - Part 2
In part 2 of exploring what makes a badly written song, we?ll look a bit deeper into some of the most common faults of a novice songwriter. Forgive the references to mostly old songs but I wanted to be sure that everyone has heard them before.Follow us on Twitter: @servethesong
The Freedom of Limitation
For artists the battle has always raged between the desire for complete artistic freedom and the need to work within a limiting set of rules. Some people insist that creativity and limits are mutually exclusive. I would argue the opposite: people are never more creative than when forced to work within limitations. Limits generate their own kind of creative freedom. Don't believe me?Follow us on Twitter: @servethesong
The despair of infinity. Or how technology can affect your songwriting. (And what to do about it.)
I first heard this phrase ? the despair of infinity ? when I was staring a wall of detergents in a grocery store and my wife, Catherine, said it to me with a bemused look on her face. The phrase has stuck with me ever since, and whenever I am faced with a seeming bounty of choice, I think of it.Follow us on Twitter: @servethesong
Production Workshop: What Makes A Song Bad?
We all know it when we hear a great song because we can't get enough of it. It makes us move, it makes us listen and it draws us in. But it's a lot harder to write a great, or even good, song than it seems, as anyone who's ever tried to write one knows. We can analyze great songs all day long to see what makes them tick, but sometimes can learn just as much by analyzing the ones that aren't that great as well.Follow us on Twitter: @servethesong
Developing Creativity
It?s shocking but true: at its genesis creativity is simply copying something you like. Artists usually express it with words like ?inspiration? and ?influence?, but it means the same thing. True artistry, however, is taking those germs of borrowed ?inspiration? and turning them into something only you could have created. Inside you there are thoughts and ideas garnered from your life experiences that are completely unique and interesting. Learning to recall those things and express them in ways that are both understandable and widely relatable is what developing your creativity is all about.Follow us on Twitter: @servethesong
Practicing Your Songwriting
Like anything, songwriting improves as one practices one?s craft. Practicing songwriting can often be a daunting task not only because it seems odd as a concept, but also because it requires admitting that your own songwriting needs improvement. Here are some tips on deconstructing songs to improve your own writing.Follow us on Twitter: @servethesong
More Songwriting Tools
Now that we?ve covered a songwriter?s most important tool - the notebook - let?s talk about some others: the rhyming dictionary, thesaurus, dictionary, computer, and more. First up: the rhyming dictionary. Writing lyrics is hard work. Why waste time looking for rhymes when someone else has already done it for you? Remember, however, that rhyming dictionaries are not fool-proof. Follow us on Twitter: @servethesong
