[ashleymoon]

[gachapurplegalaxy]

Me: *Tries to sing a happy Song *

*Comes out sad*

[Luke-zjge]

It's weird because I'm not finding it difficult to come up with words,
but I'm finding it more difficult to put it into short lines or semi-long lines.
I just don't know how to make it flow without it changing completely...

What I write about
70%- My poor mental health 😃
20% Growing up or “Rebellion”
10%- Cheesy love songs

When ever i am taking a tub or shower, the song comes naturally for me. The lyrics, the tune, basically everything. I feel like for anyone who wants to make a song, it has to come naturally. If you sit at a desk with a computer or a peice of paper and you are feeling so un inspired, dont try and write a song. Dont write the lyrics to a song. If your angry, happy, sad, whatever, if you are not in the mindset to write lyrics dont. Just write down your feelings. Dont feel pressured to come up with something amazing, just write how you feel, what hapoened to make you feel this way, and some memmories that happened when you felt the same way another time. If you try and fource this creativness on yourself, its goung to be harder and take longer, trust me.come back to the stuff you wrote down earlier, when your feeling more creative, and make the lyrics amd the beat of your song.

Here is some stuff you can do to increase creativity:

Listen to other peoples song ( this can help get the process going)

Take a hot bath or shower (i dont know if this works for u, but it does for me)

Doodle ( doodleing is a good way ti get your feelings out, and youd be suprised at how many artist come up with the idea for there song by drawing it first)

Look at peoples art work ( art and music have a lot in common. Looking at others peoples art is a great way to inspire you.)

Go outside ( personally, when i want to draw, write, or make a song i go outside. I just feel like the presence of being outside is just a sinple way to help be more creative.)



Overall, just remember that good music comes naturally from the heart, and dont worry if it takes time to find the perfect tune and the perfect lyrics! I hope you all get to make perfect songs!



Ps: can you please like because i want alot of people to see this comment! Thanks 😊

The problem with me is that I write my lyrics and I end up writing a song that already exists lol 😂

[domenicokleanthous]

You know what? I play the guitar for like 5 years and I was thinking about writing some lyrics. I am kinda young (13 yrs old) but I'll give it a try and this video is gold! Cheers from Greece!

[glitzicurities]

You can write a song about anything!
Love
Rebellion
Death,
Disillusion...















Or, you know, a jelly.

[-lovlee-]

everyone's lyrics are depressing and then there's mine, optimistic, about wanting to make your dreams come true, wanting to change the future and gratitude

[abbyc]

all of my songs r about depression, anxiety, and heartbreak...

[reena]

Here's a song written by me ❤️

*Loved You More Than me*

I miss you all day all night.
I miss you back when you were mine!
I Thought it would all end.
But I didn't Knew it was your plan! Oh!

Remembering the days when I used to dream.
All day long about you without going to sleep!
You may think I was crazy, but that's not reality.
The Truth Is That I Used To Love You More Than me!

The past has gone all the leaves have shed.
The feelings inside me are now all dead!
The only thing left for me is to say,
I Used To Love You More Than Me!✨

"I want to hold your hands
I know i can't
I want to hug you tight
Don't worry i won't
Just let me remember you
Though you don't want it

I know i should stay away
But let me hold you once again
Just let me hug you once again"
-sandra
