Writing songs is something that can come naturally to some people. Usually these people have an overflow of passion and are not only very out going - but express everything they feel. Others have the same passion for writing - but are more reserved with their feelings. Every song writer is different in their own right - but there is one true thing about them all. Many of them at one point in their life have what we like to call song writer's block.
When this happens your mind is a blank concerning what to write. You need to stimulate your mind and find a few good tricks that might help. We have compiled a list of 4 great tips that can help to inspire you and to fire up that passion and overflow of writing once again.
1. Write, Write, Write.
Every day you need to write a new song or even a few lines of a song. Sometimes what you write may not always make sense - but the more that you write the more you will gain inspiration.
2. A Recorder, Dictaphone Or Notebook Always Comes In Handy
Sometimes lyrics or notes will come to your mind at the weirdest place or even at the wrong time. Keep a recorder on you wherever you go. That way if you get inspired while you are at work you can step outside for a moment and record it before you lose it. Or you can always use a notebook and write it down.
3. Write About What You Know
There are many of us who try to embellish on our ‘boring' lives and make songs of circumstances and things that didn't even happen. Stick to what you know. You would be surprised how much inspiration you can draw from your own life and how much people can relate to it. The more personal you think the more ideas you will have. Maybe you could write about your first kiss or first love?
4. Bring Out The Child In You
It is always a good idea to bring out the inner child in you. Take a day to have some crazy fun with your closest friends. When we say crazy we don't mean go out to clubs and drink. We mean go have fun the way you did when you were a child. Go play on the playground like you are young again. The more fun you are having the more open your mind is.
