[@smittenkitten8037]

amazing video! where do you do the matrix chart thing?

[@SongWritersChopShop]

cheers smitten, glad you enjoyed it. so after you do some brainstorming or free writing split the material into 'concrete' and 'abstract' ideas. Then just make a grid in a google doc (insert table tab) or even draw one out on paper. put the abstract ideas along the top row and the concrete in the first column. then fill out the rest of the boxes with words from a random word generator. Then just start making connections and have fun.

[@kevinjoseph517]

why the background muzak?

[@Table-Top]

Smokey Robinson is my favourite vocalist. And a great songwriter too. Where did you get all this songwriting knowledge, - did you take a college course?

[@SongWritersChopShop]

I agree, Smokey is an absolute true motown legend. I didn't do a course, just been writing songs for over twenty years. I'm really passioate about the craft and a big nerd when it comes to writing strucure. Hope you find the technique useful.

"Holding in farts". I'm having that. Ta.

[@keithmoreau710]

YES! Cant wait to sink my teeth into this later

[@SongWritersChopShop]

cheers keith, hope you find it useful.

[@keithmoreau710]

@@SongWritersChopShop I got a tonne out of it the first time and perhaps even more the second! "Who are you singing it for?" what a simple lens with which to frame and focus your approach. I bet there is a third and a fourth experience, this is a real onion!

[@SongWritersChopShop]

@@keithmoreau710 nice one Keith. yep, a simple question that holds a lot of answers.

[@yelimartinez7670]

“Holding in farts” at the bottom of the imagery list you made 😂

[@TheLambchop29]

Ha ha holding farts!! Haha

Circus music in background is distracting

[@meganjohnson7945]

Who are you and how can I co-write with you?! 🥺

[@kollateralschadensbegrenzu4929]

Thanks, but what is it with this really distracting theme in the background?

[@SongWritersChopShop]

I like to make the viewer work for the info...JK. it's one of my first videos, you live and learn on YT.

[@BhavyaThota-dn4zd]

Better video but too long

[@SongWritersChopShop]

@@BhavyaThota-dn4zd hi Bhavya thanks for the comment, it's much appreciated 👍 let me know what I should have left out to make the video shorter?
