How to Write a Great Song | Songwriting Workshop

[@KaestringsMusic]

Thank you so much sir! Here to learn✍️

[@thelittleredpiano120]

It is really so cool to see other people's processes. I've written a lot of songs but I haven't shared them with many people. This is encouraging!

[@sarahdiana6665]

You should really start to share your songs. I'm a songwriter too.. write and record, not many people know my songs, but I just keep doing it. Hopefully one day those song will break through.

[@Mrjohn1987]

Yes, I agree 👍 you should. I would love to sing some of your worship songs, I would but I can't ✍️ at all

[@EdnardoSabino]

I'm a brazilian unknow songwriter and i'm so much thankful for your words!

[@desire2002]

I write songs too since age 9

[@joeyallison7248]

i wrote a song and presented it to Don about 13 years ago at a bible school in Dallas, TX. And he told me that it would never work, i need to focus on becoming a skilled musician, and forget about songwriting. Well fast forward 13 years, I've became a skilled musician. But the song i wrote and presented to him 13 years ago, has went on to win several awards, and ministers to people everytime i play and sing it. And i didn't change anything about the song. And I've written hundreds more that all either had a hook in the chorus, or a great melody line. That have went on to win awards to.

[@DonMoenTV]

Hey Joey! Thanks for your comment. That is great to hear about your songs. Do you remember which bible school in Dallas it was?

[@MustangDesudiroz]

May i heard the song?

[@joeyallison7248]

DonMoenTV Christ For the Nations Institute, in Dallas, TX. You came for a songwriters class, it was in 2003 I think.

[@rebeccaiflourish5470]

This is a deep lesson! Paul says ‘I know in parts’ (1cor 13) Sometimes the prophet doesn’t get it perfectly right. That’s why we all must be HOOKED to the SOURCE of the gift - THE FATHER HIMSELF. Get affirmation and confirmation from the FATHER HIMSELF.

[@alexdoubleup7085]

"let your words of truth rise above all the noise" that's for me, straight from the lord... bless you Sir for being the vessel that God used to get the message to me.

[@mandlahischild1914]

miraaci 14 Amen

[@mynowministries]

I wrote my first song almost 10 years ago, after watching a Bio on an amazing singer. I didn't understand what God was doing in my life, when He said the song it not for you but the singer, I tried for almost 6 months trying to hand over to the singer, but no one would listen to me. once I gave up. The when on to bless me with more meaningful songs blessings others. thanks for the encouragements.

[@michaeloguntuase8803]

Best song writing tutorial ever. God bless you Pastor Don Moen.

[@AlandaPrice]

Before I had children I had a girlfriend who took me to a studio she's black he was white allow me to listen to her recording she sounded awful terrible I mean literally like a screeching cat I couldn't say anything because God wouldn't allow it so I know the perspective is for all four God writing a Christian song first then getting into the world and my life story maybe you'll bless me I don't know if I'm wrong I don't know if I'm right usually that's where it starts in the church though right

[@emmanuellaadolphus]

Nice one

[@ministerraphael2313]

Very helpful sir

[@MustangDesudiroz]

Still waiting for the full version of the song

[@FaithPegram]

I have a question. I write my own worship songs, can I write the song before I write the music? I don't have any musical instruments, but I love to sing. Thank you for anyone who responds to this. Your advice is appreciated. God bless.

[@DonMoenTV]

Sure. That seems to be how I'm most comfortable writing songs. Get the words down first, that way I can have a rough idea of where I want to go, and then put music to it. That said, everyone writes a different way. Do what seems natural to you. If it is easier for you get in a good rhythm by writing songs in a specific way, stick with it.

[@FaithPegram]

​@@DonMoenTV Thank you so much.

[@rahlangmangu2198]

Thanks

[@MustangDesudiroz]

Hey Don ive been writing for like 7 yrs now. can i continue this beautiful song?

[@DonMoenTV]

Hey Steven. Yeah Tom's really good. I think he has some arranging material on his website. He also has a book called 'The Language of Music' that you might be interested in.

[@mimshackmusic4914]

[@danieladams4848]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@johnmichealvanzang3073]

Hi! I want to write gospel songs. Tel me how to write step by step

[@Retsamter]

Can you help me tp have my very own simple music studio?

[@acharich]

Great videos Sir.. Thank u for taking the time to make these.. One thing though.. It feels like u are often straining when singing these new songs, as though u are singing outside ur vocal range or need to adjust ur singing technique.. Not sure whether it's that u should sing in a lower octave or use ur chest voice instead, but I think one / both of those will sound much stronger & more powerful..? - @acharich

[@KatushabeshakiraShamim]

Wow

[@doneason3552]

I would like to write a Christian song always wanted to do it but for me it's a little harder cuz I don't know how to read or spell so I walk around my house and singing it out loud so if I could get somebody to help me right one that would be amazing

[@anonnaantu5624]

❤️

[@gaingamgangmei7887]

🙏

[@AlandaPrice]

I've always been a shy type being a Pisces is not easy by the way my first time holding a microphone up to my mouth to sing a song in front of a crowd was it when I was about 🤔 maybe about 5 years old and my grandmother's Church in Cartersville Georgia I froze and gave the mic back to my mom so embarrassing right then growing up in the 80s I knew I had to do something that my son's father who's a rapper in Atlanta Georgia he surprised me with the performance with him and his guy friends at a club one time I should have grabbed the mic and jumped on stage with him but instead I froze and embarrassment didn't know what to do or say I'm so sick and tired of this now at 37 years old I'm ready to write a song? This is ridiculous I need to write I know I could make millions with my talent that's what I'm ready for my millions performing 🎭🎬 and keeping up with the Joneses maybe not so much getting this laziness off of me as has been the easiest thing either I pray
