♪ how to write a song ♪

here is a really reaaaalllly bordderlineeee uselessssss video of me trying to explain my songwriting process that i absoutely do not even understand myself so idk how to explain it to you but i tried my best.

to be honest, the best way to get good at songwriting is just by listening to CRAP TONS of music, really really listening to the patterns, and just by practicing a lot lot lot. the first few songs you write will make no sense. don't worry. it'll make a lot more sense five years down the road! don't! give! up! (unless songwriting just isn't something u wanna pursue heh then u can probably focus ur attention on things you like more ya know u do u).

anyways this video was confusing.

love ya!

My cup is filled tea
Cause coffee makes my throat itchy

I'll teach you how to write a song
I promise it won't be too long

Now let's all go cry together
Because I wish I was Heather

Im sorry this might be weird but my friend is a singer/ songwriter song of her songs went popular on tiktok and spotify (just to tell you she obviously can write a good song) but dude i wrote songs in a month like whenever i was free i made it a challenege for a month to write songs whenver i was free and so far i wrote 13 songs in the month and i have a studio in my basment so i have the software and instruments to make the melody and when i finished the songs i showed them to my friend acting like it was an album from an unkown artist and she said she LOVED the songs lol and she was so suprised when i told her i wrote them lolol

Every time I’m in the shower i come up with something i go “o wow that good I should remember that” THEN I NEVER REMEMBER IT . I need to start writing things down more often

[pinoyitto]

Wait why did I suddenly made a song about cup-

What’s filling in my cup?
Stomach full of butterflies
But my cup is filled with lies
But I’m falling for your eyes
And my heart is beating
what is this feeling ?
My baby I’m craving

all you want is me
to sit in your lap
baby I’m on a trap
in my cup in my cup...

Take a sip as your hands starts slip
As the cup touch my lips
with a cup of coffee
And whip cream on top
but you never stop Won’t stop
won’t stop won’t stop -


Oh what’s in My cup my cup ?
It’s Never What’s up what’s up
Then there’s always tea spilling
Now my cup keeps filling

But It’s always what’s under
Filled me up with wonder
but you leave for another

My cup my cup
now drink it up drink it up
And never stop never stop
It won’t stop it won’t stop..

in the morning with a cup of coffee
But it feels like a cup of tea
Baby You flow like water
Sweet like milk then get sour
Only Hold my hands
in one night stand
We only last for an hour -

It’s never what’s up what’s up what’s up?
Or what’s filling in my cup my cup my cup
Saying no but you never stop never stop
It won’t stop you keek drinking it up drink it up

It’s always what’s under
Feel me up with wonder
Then you leave me for another
In My cup my cup but you never stop...
