Songwriting Tips You Need To Know - Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes, Shania Twain) 

Most of my tracks are like that , I’d never perform or release them because it’s not my story or message and definitely not my brand dna but I got a bunch of great songs but how does one get it to another artists that will do it justice ?

@@noompsieOG Asking the real questions here. I'm struggling to find every right person to each song I wrote.

could not agree more!

So how many songs did u write?

Tell us. Its been 4 years man!!!!!!! Maybes she's now famous and has no time for peasants.

Trying to make transitions between all the good bits is honestly the worst thing

@@mojorisen7812 she dead

I'm the opposite, I can write verses great and they come to me all the time, but struggle with the simplicity of a chorus without sounding cheesy.

True. Collaborating with others is a major key

@@Its_MLLOS fun

@@Its_MLLOS what if I want a sad song?

Song name plz?

@@DaveTaste you can do sad songs with other ppl too

Correct man same happens with me so almost my notebooks are full of songs or lyrical stuff which i dont want my teachers to read so its like before submission of my notebooks im like just tearing those and putting in my bag and my friends be like what r u doing and sometimes it feels like u r running out of pages 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm the exact opposite. I can't write lyrics to save my life. So I have a motif in my head, and I'll write that down and play it later. Happens even when datelines are, like, tomorrow lol. I write non-lyrics songs faster anyway.

Need a song writer ?

Nice one Ermin, that's great to hear! Go for it! 😁

how are you progressing?

How’s it been?

Same have music I still haven’t released lol

@@cz_tg let’s write one together

I usually gather the topics of a song in a note before i even write it

Yooooo we can write together

That phenomenon of lyric editing messing with the original idea is sooo frustrating. I find that the best way to get out of that is to just improvise a few lyrics and play with what comes out, and when you run dry, keep playing through the song on your instrument and just improved lines until you have something you like

Pick an experience that relates to the topic but don’t go into detail. Keep it ambiguous or short like skimming a story. That way it still relates, it’s a true experience, and it gives you a bigger table of words and syllables to rhyme or play with. Also stay ambiguous with topic/theme. Add experience or made up story to that theme/topic that made you feel the way the topic makes you feel. Example: a theme would be “Love” talk brief or tell a short summed up story of an experience that made you feel “Love” I got this way with rap. It’s harder to write a rap song on topic than say a R&B song bc there’s more words in shorter amount of time. Hope that helps!

@@Cee_Bexcellent way to put it, thank you

Need a song writer?

They mean something to you

Exactly.

1way2look@it

Need a song writer?

@@Afrodulcys yes interested

@@aguchinasa1234 what?

I tend to do that a lot too

Man I should be better about that. You’re totally right and every time I do it tends to be something more cohesive then my other works. But it gets difficult sometimes I spend hours replaying and singing the same thing over in a thousand different ways and it’s such a frustration. Still the only frustration I love tho hahaha

Well said 👏🏾

Tragic. You are so full of regrets your soul turned into a ghost to type out this message

You can do it!

That's a lyricist right here. Nothing wrong with approaching a composer to join forces
