#write a song

[inadlzbth]

A lot of the time I have partial ideas that I call the “skeleton” of a song. These skeletons can range from a melody and a line to chords and a melody to literally just chords. This is one of those times.

I was messing around with the piano and came up with the barest bones of an idea. The only problem is that I don’t know what I want the song to be about.

Help me out?

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

400 Follower Special!!

Calling all artists and writers! Since I am now at 400 followers, I decided to do a little DTIYS with a twist. I will give you a prompt, and you can either write something for it or draw something for it!! If you choose to participate, please tag me or dm me!! I will be selecting the best written piece and the best art piece for a personalised one-shot written by me of any character they choose. All forms of writing and art will be accepted :)

The prompt is: Music!

You can write a song, draw or write something based off a song, draw your favourite character listening to music, etc. As long as you incorporate music somewhere into the piece, you’ve got it!

I really hope I get some submissions!! Thanks for your support!!

ENTRY THIRTY

Nine Inch Nails, my favorite band!

Trent Reznor, my favorite singer and a legendary lyricist!

That's not what I wanna blog about though. He is in the pic but it's all about what he said in the caption.

I'm interpreting this as being about our productivity when we're emotional.

Song = Productive

Punching a Wall = Non-Productive

I think this can be applied toward anything in life and it's a good reminder too.

Better remind myself to "write a song" when facing "punching a wall" moments. I always feel better in the end when I counteract it all with productivity. I feel accomplished and I feel like I conducted myself appropriately through it.

There are times when you need to rest and be non-productive; I acknowledge that and I know the difference. It's important for all of us to so we can better discern when we need to rest and when we need to push through. For me, it's mostly pushing through because the process can be very immobilizing. I try to let myself rest when it comes up though. Try...

Well, anyway, I thought this was a good reminder and wanted to share it.

More thoughts later.
