“Know that your words are enough.” Much needed. 💯

I've learned more from H.E.R. on RU-vid than I learned in a whole semester of songwriting classes in college.

This is so cool how she is sharing her process. This is super helpful in understanding how to focus on writting.

Literally wrote a whole song to God in 20 minutes just off this method!! I’m shocked how Holy Spirit was flowing 😂 lol this was an amazing video and to me, her method can go for anything.. poetry, books, blogs!! lol this was str8 💎

Bob marley had simple lyrics... and that's what made them profound. This is a great video, subscribed!

Bro is a genius too woww

Gems…. Her multi instrument capacity is a beautiful gift she is blessed to share with the world. H.E.R genius reminds me of Prince…in her way .☔️

Whoo! H.E.R. shows why she's a pure force making her notes here legend.

The moment H.E.R. begins singing it comes together!

This may sound weird, but I'm not this kind of artist at all. My words are inspirations from the sounds around me. They are my attempt to connect through melody with the world. Words are actually secondary to me. I pick that words that match a melody I hear or imagine. So, it's interesting to hear about your process, and I appreciated it. Edit: Still there were somethings I personally relate to about your process. I wrote a christmas song for my feelings about my grandma who has passed on. When I sent it to my Aunt, she said it was so beautifully, not just vocally, but in that she couldn't even tell I was talking about someone who passed away. I miss her.

This is so right. It's hard to describe when something catches you and you just have to write it down. The feeling of resolution when a song is written and finished is such a profound conclusion. You've captured that moment in words and melody. This is why you can't force it. The best song come from emotion and experience, from that overwhelming need to encapsulate the moment.

Her low notes are smooth! I was pleasantly surprised to hear go that low. She's a mezzo it seems.

With no words I’ll still have this on repeat

I can’t believe this is free she’s such a great artist

Changed my mind on the first line. Thinking too hard ended up wasting my time. I'd rather it be me and mine until the end of all time hahaha ha

I think for me, my lyrics are generally improvised based on the feelings that the backing track are evoking. But I have done songs that started with a lyrical idea and composed and arranged a backing track for the lyrics. I think that for me, it is simply a matter of wanting to express myself musically. Clearly following the ideas in this video will help a person to find their genuine Voice.

So talented. She's such a cool and super super creative artist. That brother also cooking

Damn, her voice 🤧🌼🎼✨

her voice is just a method for sure

This song writing session is everything!!! So inspiring ❤❤

Can't wait to apply this to my music

My daughter is a big Her fan so I will definitely be sharing this video with her. But hey Mothers Day is just around the corner so make sure you send her “The Mother’s Day Song “ by Patrick Valentine Vance. It will let her know how much you truly love your mom.

this is valuable information I’m grateful I feel like I’m already becoming a better artist now by watching and learning

The first line to the opening to this video... was everything i needed to hear.

This video was amazing! Thank y’all for this truly. It was for informative to see the process for y’all. It was also very validating as I have a very similar process but my lack of self confidence always makes it feel like the way I approach song writing is wrong. It’s good to know it is valid. I really loved when she said “water your songs.” That will definitely stick with me.

Amazing!! I cried while watching this...

Presonus Studio One. I dig this DAW. Simple Easy To Use. Great Features and Awesome Plug-Ins. Teddy Riley turned Me on to Studio One in the early 2000's.

They’re so talented, love this 💓💓

good lord, she is so amaizing

Watching you guys work is so cool. I just started playing the guitar and music writing, this was incredibly inspiring. Thank you! Stoked to follow 🤙

Thank you so much for this. This made me feel so normal about my process and boosted my confidence. Definitely going to continue in music making and trust my instincts. ♥️ I love the advice “patience is key“. I feel less doubtful now and ready to make more stuff. I’m so appreciative of your vulnerability.

I really enjoyed this video. I'm working hard everyday to blow up man that's why i need videos like this to understand more about music

Thank you H.E.R.

my man fuk wit the Logic Pro lets go

Yooo 😂 who know what that “ ooooohhh synth patch is ?

Literally amazing talent, but I just came for the forty minutes of h.e.r talking in my ear. Damn, what a force

Awesomeee video. Thank you so much. Who knows the name of the guy working with H.E.R?

Chords sound like Reckoner by Radiohead

"Work tapes" is the Nashville term for voice notes. 🤔

It’s like parables in the soul. As I speak, I just paint of what I am going through

Wow

aw i wish the whole thing was on youtube

Tech question... Anyone know what midi instrument and sound is being used on the keys? I need that in my studio!

This feels like I should pay for it but it’s free

💜

Can you tell me who this gentlemen is I would like to look at his videos as well!!!

Make it prayer that’s what is sounds like

What cord is playing I really want to write to this I thought of something to say 😅😊

This is such a beautiful process to watch 🥹

Hell theory is easier in my opinion, but I’m always starting shyt!

❤✨️🧠

whats this guys name?

Please sum up

But it fully don't come out right

Who is she? And what is her name? Nowhere its written.

What are generic lyrics?

How about 3 new chords for the chorus? If the chorus is the most important part then maybe don’t make it the same -o- same o as the verse.

Howere

1:32 farted and tried to play it off

🧢

why did she say she doesn’t know theory if she knows guitar chords tho that’s theory

Not gonna lie, all the talk kinda boring.. But when she sing 18:35 I was like oooh

then why doesn’t she have any popular songs😂

dude on the right is acting so generic

this was cool ig but they kinda just talked in circles and didn't really get anything done...

So basically mumble rap for singers? Where is the song?

I DON'T AGREE WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING

I wonder why you are COMMERCIALIZING this ?Music is SPIRITUAL ask Bon Jovi if you want there is no Guessing words just came BE SPIRITUAL AND MEDITATE music will definitely come
