write a song with me in 30 minutes :)

taking another break from tutorials today to share with you my songwriting process. i’m really hoping to make more videos about the songwriting process and my experience with it, so if you guys would like more videos like this, please let me know in the comments!!

in this video, we’re just going to sit down, drink some chai and attempt to write a song in 30 minutes. i never really put a time restraint on songwriting but i thought it would be fun to let you guys see a behind the scenes of how i write my songs and the process. if you want to see more let me know!!

I can’t ever write a song without thinking of lyrics that already exist 😭

[ipekdurmus]

Me Everytime I try to write a song:
Beggining: I was....
Rest of the sentence: I was enchanted to meet you please do not be in love it someone else please do not have somebody waiting on you

[suhanisharma]

Whenever I try writing a song, I go into this really vulnerable state and like to be completely alone while doing it so kudos to you for literally filming yourself through the whole process 🥰❤️

[itsalavstory]

Nena! I wrote something similar to 'you're out of my sight, but you're still on my mind' a few nights back!! I just thought it was so cool that we had the literal same idea! And thank u so much for sharing your songwriting process with us.

[peditsix]

girl this literally helped me write a song in one day, which i have never done before, and my first one on guitar since the others were on piano! THANK YOU SO MUCH IM LITERALLY GONNA RE WATCH THIS EVERYTIME I HAVE INSPIRATION FOR A SONG!💓

[falonrogers]

I'm so thankful for you Nena, because of you I'm still in my first year of high school and I am getting the opportunity to record and release my own music...you've given me courage to put myself out there with music which has led to this!! ❤️❤️

[paridhithakkar]

Your song writing videos are like my comfort videos😭idk they just give such good vibes to me and really motivate me😙thank you Nena, for everything you do💞and more songwriting videos pls😙 also, ur songs really are very beautiful😍

[dc.moonlight]

That’s such a catchy, beautiful song! Definitely waiting for the part two to finish it 🥺😍

Love your songwriting process! I thought I was the only one who picks the key of a song just intuitively but you proved me another time there can’t be a wrong way to write a song :)

[tsha]

Dude, I was freaking gonna search for songwriting tips when you uploaded this. LOVE YA!

[ardra]

Taylor would be so proud of you if she sees this like i am😭And yes! We need a second part asap!! Just release a song! You're damn talented!! This video comforted me sm idk why💘ilysm

[simpforbangchan]

Nena you radiate so much comfort and positive energy!! I feel like more people should be part of this community you have built!! You are the reason I could play guitar!! Thank you so much

[danielasolano]

I am SO impressed by your songwriting. Good job!!

[devikadang]

Tomorrow is my day free. Gonna sit down and do this with you! I love all your videos! Btw, I enrolled for your live class, super excited for it!

[Iamsylvie.]

I've been writing songs these days in little time too! Because I don't strive to be perfect or make anything much out of it other than something that's nice and poetic. Thank you for this! Love it and you

[BrownAngelx]

It was so cool to see your songwriting process live. Amazing Nena!

[justaghostgirl]

For verse 2:
‘cause you’re a bad nostalgia
like a dust in my eyes
i have to get it out
but there’s no use you’re all in my head
even when i call others name
you’re the one who stuck all time
and your out of sight but
never out of my mind (mind)

Im at the place that we used to go
when we watched summer turn to fall
feel the sun as i fall for you
and then days went by,
and you had to say goodbye
now you’re the one who turns my summer into fall
took my bright colors and painted all gray
as i sit right here and remember your smile
as long as im alive you’ll be forever in my mind

LMAO THIS ONE TURNED OUT SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAT I EXPECTED TO BE

[caylahralph]

This was soo good! You’re so great at singing and songwriting! So talented Nena!!🙌👏👏

[LauraGammack]

yum, I love chai tea lattes!! Also cool graphics in the video. Your song writing a whole song by using one line is quite impressive!!

[mikisversion]

I’ve written about 70 songs during this last year in quarantine. Most I feel like are pretty good, but I think that others need help. And I also forget the melodys I’ve come up with so recording it on the voice memos app helps a lot.

[jillianreigndeleon]

this is so freaking good!!! i need a part 2
