I would have never thought that writing a song involves so much more than just arranging notes (letters) and words on paper if I hadn’t done it myself.
Basically what I am typing is that when I am writing a song, its more about what situations are currently causing emotional feedback right now. I tend to write about what I need to find a solution for. Speaking of, what did I write about in my journal today type stuff.
On this particular day it was about an assignment that I had to do for ‘Modern and Contemporary Art’ class. We had to share a piece of art from the topic of Song Writing. So, instead of searching for someone else’s art that I felt fits the build, I just made my own. Considering I was going to make a chalk art for my self anyway, this solved two tasks at once.
As you can see in the video, I also wanted to change the way we think about what is viewed as important and the verbiage we use as well. You can imagine that the words which were in the intro of the video had said (before I changed them) something else, algo mas? Yes, something else.
By making this a positive building type view point, I felt that would change the brain’s processing and have the reader connecting with the ‘Fixing’ and ‘Present’ as joyful things to view and watch now. Thus, eliminating the old attention grabber of using ‘breaking’ and ‘news’ in the headline.
The interactive part for this post is going to be for you to leave a comment about what you think one needs to do when writing a song? It could be anything. Please comment below.
This is open to all viewers, free and paid. So, feel free to join in the fun and share your thoughts on the topic of ‘Song Writing’. Thanks!
To close, I want to add that I probably have thousands of songs already written in my journals and notebooks from over ten years ago. The deal is, I never planned to use my therapy to create songs. Or in this case artwork either. The emotions that arise when I read my older journal entries is exactly what makes a good song very well written. Being able to stir up emotional energy and allow one to accept and mend or heal something inside of their being, is a grand feat.
Apparently just viewing art or hearing music, i.e. sounds/vibrations and frequencies are what we are all actually feeling anyways…
Much love and appreciation for reading and viewing this post!
