Songwriting Practice - Ben Levin

Let's write a song from scratch and see what happens. Could suck!

This went from shower singing to genius. That chorus melody is beautiful.

[davidstoneback]

I love how he writes the most amazing song ever and then shrugs and says, "something like that." Lol OG

[CPickswell]

omg Ben,
your improvisation --> final product videos
are the most amazing journeys
Thank you.

[dougc]

I'm totally getting an electronica meets Zappa feel to this. LOVE IT.

You are on another level. I have seen Your approach and delivery evolve to new heights. Keep killing the youtube. Ground breaking stuff.

I showed my girlfriend Bent Knee, and then this song. And her reaction was "...you're right, he does make weird music."

I don't know how to break the news to her, guys...

Ben, I just want you know that you not only inspire me, but you make me laugh with your mannerisms. I think you are genuinely such a unique character and it shows in your music. Please never stop.

[DanielHorta]

In the beginning of the process, I thought that nothing made sense at all. But in the end, DAMN, very good stuff!!! I think that's the difference between someone that knows what is doing with composition and me.

[dumpsterDeity]

I'm so glad people like you exist :)

[meowmixe]

this youtube osmosis is working great for my learning style. man you and Adam Neely, Rick Beato and Aimee Nolte are just cramming my head with so much good. i learned a ton from this video. thanks for sharing one of your creative song processes.

[markrogers]

Thanks Ben. I appreciate your perspective and total openness. Instructive and refreshing.

[inkwellcoma]

5:55 I just burst out into laughter xD

[andrewh]

The end product turned out awesome. Thanks for the inspiration. I am thankful!!

[halflearned]

I posted a comment yesterday when this video came out, and I'm here again to say I've been singing Ben's melody in my head for the past 36 hours.

[SepulvedaBoulevard]

Wow, that's so different from how I work - cool to explore new methods! 😀

[uniworkhorse]

Ngl I was a more than skeptical, but that start sketch was an amazing guide!

[Not_what_it_used_to_be]

Awesome stuff Ben, as always. Keep it up, lots of us adore everything you do!
