Although they didn’t begin this way, I believe George may have been the Beatles best songwriter at the end of their career.

[@TheAlfredo3623]

It was unbelievable how much I needed to hear this

[@mrjasondylan]

Bob Dylan was on a movie set and the director said I need a song to close the film ( Pat Garrett and Billy the kid ) where the main character dies. Dylan went in his trailer with an acoustic guitar and 7 or 8 minutes later came back out and said I just wrote this and proceeded to play knocking on heavens door . I seen the director tell this story many years later he wrote the song in under 10 minutes.

[@djbrando202]

Creating is one thing, analyzing it is another. Bob was really good at not giving a crap what others thought. Every person has their own aptitudes for things. These things are amazing to those who can’t do it at all, and less amazing to the other people who can do it as well. Like diving. But to scale.. the Beatles did a great job with their chance. Many other people would have done as well or perhaps even better… since most of the goal was to try to make a hit.. that’s commercial writing more than art. But they wrote commercially with intentional artistic choices… as well as having their own limitations and unavoidable outside influence. But they weren’t gods.. times are different now. We are in uncharted territory now.

"Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." - Thomas Edison

[@_bruddy]

I think the most important part of this video is the part by Ira Glass 6:32.

[@DawgTreyna]

It is always best to allow the song to write itself. The goal of every song writer is to understand that the song is a sound thing and not a direct message thing. The build up of the lyrics is not specifically about transferring information but about transferring sound that is beautiful. This you can achieve regardless of whether the lyrics make sense. Though people can try to work the lyrics until it does justice both sound-wise and sense-wise. It takes a songwriter many years to master the type of sound they love. Sometimes just trusting their inner gut feeling that this tune which they've just heard is a great tune. For many years it will seem like a guessing game. Other times you are out here hoping people will like it even when you are not so confident about it. But along the journey only a few people truly come to a complete mastery of what the exact sound is that people can fall in love with. These people can pin point the hit sound. They say it is a very rare gift. And indeed it is. But it is achievable.

[@tjcint]

@Dawg Treyna, achievable if and only if you have a rare God given gift to begin with.

[@ethanwilkins1486]

True genius is contagious. George had a beautiful spirit which he learned to project

[@xsteveconwayx]

I needed to hear this and it came at just the right time. I just learned that the song writer for Band-Maid (a band that makes killer song after killer song) produces a new demo every week. That’s 52 demo songs per year. That’s how they’re able to release a new album every 15 months or so and why the albums are so good. They leave 40 demo songs in the trash every year.

[@citizenzero0]

I like this video in the sense of encouraging you not to give up and keep working on it. And even if commercial success doesn't come, in the end you can be proud of having created something of your own. And surely there are people who will also respect or even find this work great, even if you didn't become famous with it.

[@Emondotcalm]

One interesting thing I learned from delving into astrology is that the Air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aqurarius) tend to be blessed with the gift of knowing how to communicate. Going by real world observation there does to be something to it... Both John and Paul were Air signs whereas George, a Pisces Water sign had to work a bit harder at it. Going by that therory, a few other prolific Air sign writers also come to mind... Bob Dylan (Gemini) Bob Marley (Aquarius) John Fogerty (Gemini) Willie Nelson (Gemini)... I'm sure there's more I don't know about. And of course obviously not mutually exclusive to Air signs, but all the ones mentioned did certainly have the gift!

[@RumahBeatles]

George always make a song from his heart 👍

[@relwaldivad8226]

This is a message i desperately needed to hear. that clip of Ira Glass saying don't give up really spoke to me. Thank you

That's great to hear rewlaldivad, I'm really glad it helped. Thanks for the comment.

[@jorgepeterbarton]

Bands sometimes wing it and dont try because they think they are not special. But the actual attempt, decision and effort, well as soon as thats done usually a band becomes /soemthing/ - maybe its relatively minor maybe not because music is subjective but they could go on tour or release music on some kind of label. /The other side of that is actually getting a band together and keeping them together- imagine how many 'Beatles' were not quite there and split up BEFORE their success instead of after it! I wouldnt underestimate the situation and company Harrison had either- i mean most watching this are either 9-5 with little time and only few music contacts, or perhaps still live in parents basement studio, so one doesnt just 'sign up' for real world experience that part can be luck.

[@prschuster]

Very reassuring stuff, as I’ve thought for many years now that John and Paul are easy to idolize in retrospect but are human after all, and had to start from somewhere.

[@thinkforyourself828]

Pisces yes, but heavy heavy Scorpio (moon and rising) in there too. Very intense.

[@ScarletVoodoo]

@@thinkforyourself828 His birth chart is a weird thing. There was some kind of time change happening back then due to the war where the clock was set back two hours in Britain. If that's the case with him being born around midnight then his rising is actually Libra. Doesn't seem to fit his personality much though. I'm a Scorpio rising myself and can see a ton of similarities.

[@x2phat2cmytoes]

I thought I was the only one who’s favorite beatle was George

[@kp905]

Dedicate you time and energy towards writing good music. Record yourself take time to listen to ur recordings and think about structure, lyrics, tempo, melody. Having someone to share with that you trust to give u good feedback is also very important. Don't force anything. Good things take time, sometimes good things come fast so always be open and ready for new ideas. You'll never get better/good if you don't practice .

[@kamalmanzukie]

i dunno man, you seem to be saying if george could do it you could too. but george is not an everyman, george is a giant. if you listen to their early tracks, george was already a hell of a guitar player, as evidenced by his solos on tracks like 'till there was you'

[@SongWritersChopShop]

cheers Kamalmanzukie. The real message of the video is to be the best you can be as a songwriter. Just like George's quote wasn't literally saying any one could be john & paul. He seen the work they put in a how they improved, then he did the same. A lot of beginner writers get discouraged at the start when they realize their ability doesn't yet match their taste.

[@kamalmanzukie]

​@@SongWritersChopShop as a sort of counterpoint to my own previous point, i listened to an early demo of 'something' where george hadn't figured out the lyrics yet. he couldn't figure out what to put for the line "attracts me like no other lover" and it struck me as relatably amateurish

[@SongWritersChopShop]

@@kamalmanzukie yeah he was stuck on that for months. He probably knew he had something special and was trying too hard to get the perfect word. Lennon's advice to him was great. Just keep going and change it later. I think he wrote 'here comes the sun', in an afternoon tho. (not 100% sure).

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

You're videos are really useful thanks!!! I'd love to hear your view on rewriting old songs. Should you do it and how much should you change, does something get lost when you do this? As my lyrics improve ( I hope:) I look at my old lyrics and feel they could be so much better and I want to rewrite but then the meaning of the song starts to change and i feel I've lost something. anyway that's my ramble.... thanks a lot for the great videos!

[@SongWritersChopShop]

cheers The Harmonica Barge, I'm really g;ad you are getting some value from the content. Rewriting old songs! I often look at some of my older songs and think they could be way better. But like you said, when I rewrite them they usually become something different. Now, there is nothing wrong with that IMO, you can write dozens of songs on the same topic. It can be a tricky one. I think making slight changes that don't effect the song is fine, but in general i'd say 'write a song and move on'. Anytime I have rewritten an old song I don't really feel like I have made it better. It usually turns into something else and then I struggle with trying to keep it in line with the original idea. Then I think, 'well what's the point of rewriting if I don't want it to change. For me at this stage, I feel it's better to write new songs. Then the progress made e.g. being a better lyricist, isn't held back by anything. I think, we as songwriters, stand a much better chance of writing a good or great song by writing a lot of songs. Rather then trying to perfect a couple of songs over and over again. so, write a song and move on and let your progress show in each new song. It's a journey and we don't progress on that journey if we stay in the same place working on the same songs. Great question btw. I hope my answer was useful, thanks.

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

@@SongWritersChopShop Thanks a lot for your detailed response. That's really great to hear your view on this- I feel a weights been lifted, as I've been trying the rewrites but it just doesn't feel right! Also I'm not currently short of ideas for new stuff so I think you're dead right suggesting to focus on the new! The only slight issue I have is if I'm still going to perform the old songs live ( I kind of need them in the set :) Probably best to just go for it and take them in the context they were written in I guess. cheers!

[@SongWritersChopShop]

@@TheHarmonicaBarge Another thing you could try out is to reimagine your older songs rather than rewriting them. I do this with old songs and it can be a lot of fun. Sometimes I'll play old songs that I wrote for my first band. They are all simple 'three chords and the truth' straightforward songs. Then I will improvise around them. Think of it like how a soloist would come up with many different solos based around a single scale. Instead of a scale, use the whole song. I'll play them with different tempos, rhythms, use extended chords, substitutions, modulations, don't hold fast to any melodic rhythms or pitches. just explore different moods that bring out new colours in the song's emotion. Even improvise whole new sections, mix them with a different song like a medley, anything goes. Sometimes it sounds great, sometimes it sounds awful. but it can bring out new aspects and interpretations, a tired old song can still have plenty of surprises if you take its leash off.

George Martin didn't sign The Beatles - they were "dumped" on him by the record label as they had reluctantly signed the band for pittance and they weren't prepared to invest any money in a producer for the band. George Martin primarily worked on recording orchestral music at the time, and he was employed by the record company as one of their "in-house" producers so he was given the task of recording The Beatles - one of music's happiest accidents as it turned out.
