Song Writing and Melody Composing

Hi, everyone! Im back with another post. During the holidays, I learnt more about song writing and melody composing. I realized that behind every song, there are more job to be done such as using piano or guitar to find the perfect and catchy melody and emotional lyrics to capture everyone attention. During the whole process, we are given 10-30mins to come out with a verse and chorus. I was pretty scared at first because I had never compose a song before but luckily I got my best friend to help me with the melody. I am better in lyrics writing as I can express my feelings in lyrics. The way I write my lyrics depends on my mood but mostly is about life and sadness. My past is messed up so I will usually write about that but currently, im happy so I cant come out with any lyrics.

To start composing a song, first, we use piano or guitar(depends on your preference) and play with the chords. Find the perfect melody that you think it sounds good and come out with lyrics. Actually, it depends on everyone's preference, some like to write lyrics and come out with the melody as they said its easier for them. Song writing is like writing a story, there must be a story plot. For example, the verse is a starting point to the song and chorus is at the top of the song which is important as it brings out the whole message of the song. If chorus is too vague, the song has little meaning that you want to bring out of the song. Chorus is something that must be strong and powerful. For example, lets say you want to talk about sad love, if you want to bring out the message that you are waiting(longing) for him, you can say: I have been waiting for you, sitting on the streets looking for you...
something like that.

My best friend is good in melody composing and I am good in lyrics writing, so its easier for us to work together. The whole process is fun as it involves creativity and your emotions. Whatever you are feeling now can be expressed in lyrics and creates a suitable melody to suit the mood.

Song writing and melody composing are hard but it can be fun at times. Enjoy every moment of song composing as who knows you can make a great song and come out with an EP. Many artists are discovered because of their original songs. You can be one of them! Gentle bones is one example.

Put your feelings and emotions into the song. :)
