41. Songwriting songwriting. As much as I like performing, I love the creative aspect of songwriting . What comes first , the melody or the lyrics? It can be either. http://www.conniekaldor.com/all_about/music/song_texte.html

Songwriting Where do you get your ideas? I think for starters it is best to work from what you know and that can be what you know about the human condition, yourself or your country or your dog. I write all the time. I get ideas in all sorts of situations, driving, drinking tea , anywhere. I usually try to have a piece of paper around and ideally I have my small tape recorder and just sing it onto tape. There is something to be said for just sitting and playing and letting your ideas come to you. I think that boredom has also been quite a creative force. Why practice an old song when you can write a new one? What comes first , the melody or the lyrics? It can be either. What often comes first is the rhythm of a melody or the rhythm of a series of words. That seems to get me down the path to a song. I love the rhythm of language. I sometimes make up a melody, just for an exercise. I am quite lyric oriented, most times. I often write a song with lyrics and melody, and then I forget about it and weeks later, I come back and find the lyrics but have long forgotten the melody. I then write another melody to the rhythm of the existing lyrics. Have you studied songwriting?

He had a major hit with "Sometimes When We Touch" in 1977. His subsequent albums failed to replicate his smash success, so he primarily pursued songwriting rather than performing in the 1980s. In 1987, however, he had another major pop hit with "Can't We Try", a duet with the then-unknown Vonda Shepard. However, he has continued to concentrate on songwriting rather than recording.

Writer APRAP BREAKTHROUGH SONGWRITERS APRAP July/August 2002 BREAKTHROUGH SONGWRITERS Debbie Kruger In this inaugural year of the Breakthrough Award, it was decided to give two awards, reflecting the extraordinary breadth of rising songwriting talent in our midst. With the demise of Savage Garden, Daniel Jones had made contact with Waite to see where she was up to with her own work. He got together with her and Wallis and decided he not only wanted to help them write, he wanted to become their publisher. A year later Aneiki has had a major hit single, recorded an album in Sweden, and won the inaugural APRA Breakthrough Songwriter award. Her profile is bigger in the UK than her home country of Australia, but Sia Furler, known primarily by her first name, made such a major impression on the APRA Board of Directors that acknowledgement for her songwriting was viewed as imperative.

window.name="mtv"; var if_nt_userName_flash = "null"; MTV Overdrive Today's Lineup My VMAs Movies ... MTV Chris Connelly: "Euphoria Morning" is quite different than a lot of your past work, musically and lyrically. What sort of things were going through your mind as you wrote the lyrics? Chris Cornell: Mostly just day-to-day things that were going on. I think a lot of my early lyrics were sort of wordscapes, lyrics that fit with the music, and it was kind of a fantasy world. On the last album I made with Soundgarden, I started reaching back and drawing from past experiences, just little glimpses from the past that were really colorful. On this album I didn't force it at all. That was kind of interesting for me. Connelly: Did you write a lot of it in Los Angeles, or did you write it at home in Seattle? Cornell: I don't think I wrote anything in Los Angeles. Connelly: Why is that? Is this a scary place for you? Cornell: No, it's not scary. I'm just used to writing at home. And really, there was no need to write lyrics here. All of it was kind of already worked out. This is where we just concentrated on recording the album. Connelly: How important was it for you to decide on collaborators for this record? It seems you kind of established two people [Natasha Shneider and Alain Johannes] right away.

Contact Us Songwriting-Composing-Lyric Writing Frequently Asked Questions Q Are all songwriters, composers and performing songwriters needs and ambitions the same? A The answer is, basically, yes. They are all looking for recognised success of their talent, publication of their songs and instrumental themes, and to receive money earned as royalties from the exploitation of their songwriting, composing and performances. The main difference is that songwriters and composers are seeking publishing deals, to have artistes record their songs and to see any instrumental themes succeed in television programmes and advertising, whereas performing songwriters are not only seeking publishing deals but also management deals and record deals.

Try a search: Search My Site For the past several months, I have had a survey up on my main songwriting tips page with some basic questions on your experience, preferences, goals and others. The survey brought some surprising results, at least to me! What I want to do here is go through the questions and responses and evaluate them! The company that provided the poll changed around and as a result, the poll is no longer valid. However, I'll be creating new polls in future so stay tuned! As for the results I received from the last one, here are the results: Most of you who responded write both lyrics and music (67%), more write just lyrics (25%) than just music (8%). This was a newer question on the survey and therefore has fewer responses than some of the others, but seems to confirm my suspicion that MOST songwriters aim to do both.

Winter 2004 Serj Tankian System of a Down Frontman Serj Tankian's Hard Hitting Songs With Serart , Tankian begins a new sonic exploration with fellow Armenian artist Arto Tuncboyaciyan. Flavored with Middle Eastern and Pan-African rhythms, Serart System of a Down fans may be slightly disoriented when they first hear Serart Tankian took some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions for Playback about musical inspirations, songwriting, and performing. What is your songwriting ritual? I start writing on either the guitar, piano, bass, samples/ beats, keyboards, or vocals. Depending on the starting instrument, the song ends up in a certain place. As for lyrics, I generally cut and paste them from my poetry, though I also make a habit of writing fresh words for new music. Who or what currently inspires you to create music? Moments, people, sounds, visuals, etc., [inspire me] more than other music. There is not one single artist or album that I favor above all. I also don't have a favorite food, movie, or anything like that. Diversity doesn't include favorites. What song do you never get sick of performing and why?
