Friends! Many of you have asked me: "Can you write a song without knowing how to play an instrument?" And the answer is yes (more on that later!) BUT did you know that I have videos teaching you how to play the guitar, piano, AND ukulele? Here are the links: How To Play Piano: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EPxqPw1N1Qk.html How To Play Guitar: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CIMiDVGOAwo.html How To Play Ukulele: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dyDnibq3Sjk.html

Here is the song I wrote, enjoy! :) (It's my first time) Title: Lost Chorus: I was lost in plain sight (C chord) Lost everywhere (G cord) Lost in all my words (Am) But only you seemed to care (F chord) Verse 1: I couldn't see the light (Am) I had lost faith (F chord) But you shined oh so bright (C chord) Everyday! (G chord) Verse 2: You were oh so kind (Am) You could make anything shine (F chord) Because you were my (C chord) Flashlight! (G chord) Bridge: Together we had the power (F chord) To do anything we desired (C Chord) But... (Am) Chorus: I was lost in plain sight (C chord) Lost everywhere (G cord) Lost in all my words (Am) But that's when you cared (F chord)

@DylanLaine
@DylanLaine 7 лет назад
Yay! I'm glad you feel inspired and motivated to write... have fun! In regards to working on self esteem - have patience in knowing that self esteem is a process, and remember to be kind to yourself. Encourage yourself, remind yourself that the skills you want to attain (whether it's songwriting related, or self esteem related) will most likely not occur overnight, so it's important not to give up or lose hope :)

Hello! I really enjoyed reading this! Please tell your daughter I said thank you very, very much for saying that I have a beautiful voice. I absolutely love that she is already feeling excited to write songs! You might have already seen this, but if not, I have several playlists that both of you might enjoy - one for piano tutorials, as well as for songwriting tutorials. I actually just released a tutorial on rhyming last week! I have links to the playlists in the description of this video :) Have a blessed day!

How can someone be this happy
@DylanLaine
@DylanLaine 6 лет назад
To be completely honest with you, I am so happy because of the fact that God loves me unconditionally. This brings me so much peace and joy no matter what life brings. That doesn't mean I'm never sad - I experience a full range of emotions just like anyone does; it's just that I know that I can rely on God to carry me through those more challenging times.

I like the way you reorder the chord progressions but sorry pretty much every line is a cliche. what I do to avoid using singing in cliches is to either subvert the cliche into something else or just say the cliche with different words. for example if your original line is 'hard times come and hard times go' you could subvert the expectation to 'hard times come and hard times stay' or 'hard times come and hard times soften' or you could imply the cliche without actually saying it like 'gunmetal clouds surrounding lifting, looming heavens can't forever prey' or more simply like ' tough times will pass this much you know' but yeah whatever no rules and all that..! :oP

Hi Sam, this song was intentionally written to be cliche and easily digestible to anyone at any songwriting level. I am a fan of cliche's and do not find them to make a song of lesser value or integrity. However, it is also good to challenge yourself here and there to find creative ways to re-write cliche's just as you did. If the point of a song is to spread a message or tell a story, some listeners may receive it best in the form of cliche's, while others may receive it best in a less cliche, storytelling format. I am not offended at all that you pointed out my entire song is cliche's, but I like to teach others that their song is no less well-written due to cliche lyrics.

I love to write songs, but have struggled in the last few years (due to limited time). Your video has helped inspire me and convinces me that if I follow your formula, I can write a much overdo song today (within an hour). Thanks for sharing!
@DylanLaine
@DylanLaine 7 лет назад
Wow! I love hearing stories like this! And good for you for not giving up even while having limited time. Please give all of us an update if you use the formula, and let us know how your experience went! Happy writing :-D

The song i've written got picked in one of the songwriting competitions here in our country but honestly i know nothing about the techniques in songwriting. I just hear melodies in my head then i put lyrics then i'll record it and ask somebody to make instrumentals. I will watch your videos to start learning

I'm a guitarist that's been writing riffs and music for other people and own personal instrumentals(and very few of my own songs with lyrics and vocals) for a quite long time now. I've always struggled with the melody and lyric writing because I'm not the most poetic guy XD. This video has been the most useful songwriting video I have seen! You get in to good detail and do a great job explaining enthusiasticly! Pat your self on the back :)

Hi Emma! I think the world is full of wonderful, beautiful, awe-inspiring things. And I also think the world is full of sadness, anger, and pain. I have an opportunity to use this platform as a way of spreading whatever message I choose. I've chosen to spread a message of joy so that I can contribute to more positivity in the world. I do love cupcakes and rainbows though :)

Thanks Roy! And that's a great question! I went to Berklee College of Music and graduated with my degree in songwriting. A lot of what I teach in my videos is a combination of what I learned at Berklee, as well as tips and tricks I've gathered myself just from writing over the course of my life.
