It is the best for some people, not for others. Different brains work differently. Personally I would never be able to write this way. I need to understand why I do what I do, and that's too brain intensive to improvise like he is doing. And that's not better or worse. It's just different.

I don't know if you'll see this comment, but a few days ago I sat here with tears in my eyes because you had the courage to show this process. You see, I've done similar things, and even really weird things that made me think I was truly a little crazy. That "normal" songwriters, who weren't broken like me, wrote songs in a completely normal fashion. From the way ephemeral songs/melodies will just arrive in my mind and will vanish if I don't immediately jump up (even in the middle of the night) and get it down before it fades, to the really weird ways I can trigger my mind to take off with new melodies/songs using vinyl and cassettes, I've always just thought I was weird, broken, but broken in a way that works for creating music. It's hard to explain. But this video started me down a road where I spent a few days researching composers and songwriters and what their writing process looked like and I have been blown away and relieved to find out the things I do, the things that I thought meant something was wrong with me, are actually quite common among composers and songwriters! It turns out that that one day when the wife and I were driving along and a song arrived in my head and I abruptly stopped, got out, and walked around humming the melody into my phone wasn't so weird after all! But my wife sure was confused, lol. So, I learned that us songwriters are all a "weird" bunch, haha. Thanks again, dude. This video made a huge impact on my life.

Songwriting is damn hard and it's easy to forget that when all you see are edited videos and perfected endings. I end up thinking that I just suck as a songwriter when I struggle all the time. It's just part of songwriting and I need to keep remembering that. videos like this are a good reminder. It's one thing to read about tips and what not, it's another to see those tips being used in real life. Thank you so much

@@MrDequese Its an amazing technique to use when you have a melody but no lyrics, or unfinished lyrics. I love listening to some of the early demo's of red hot chili peppers songs, where you have basically the instrumental sections tracked in full, just as they are on the album, yet over the top you have Anthony Kiedis singing parts of the song I know, followed by jibberish...which at the same time is almost like the final vocals in terms of the melody, the rhyming, the pitch and even some harmony parts. You'd get stuff like "lie on du du, the sea horse, ride on with, da da this force" which ends up being (on a track called Dosed... awesome song...everyone should check it out! Including the "rough mix" as its very relevant to this video) something like "climb on to your sea horse, this ride is right on course"

I find it helpful to record your music, and rather than writing a vocal pattern while you're playing, come up with it while listening to the recording. You're taking up more "space" in your brain when trying to do both at the same time. Writing the vocal pattern separately, before trying to play it at the same time as your guitar or whatever, seems to help me focus, and pay greater attention to detail in vocal patterns.

Hello! Thank you so much for the video. I gained a lot of insight from it. I mainly write rap songs but the process you showed still makes sense. The "failing fast when testing out hook" part was extremely helpful, because I tend to get stuck trying to make my first idea work but now I see it's better to move on. And to look around you for words and phrases to draw inspiration from is something that I had been doing already almost subconsciously! Now I can pay more attention and go looking for inspiration instead of feeling like it should magically come.

'Outliers' by far was my favorite. A natural melodic sound and, to match it, you found a fresh, major progression quickly. The "searching for the sun" line was a great lyric as well. 'Returned' has potential but it looked like their was a struggle to establish a new chord progression that differed from the others. The falsetto melodic motif was what stole the show. Minus the lower range expedition there and some of the vocal runs, I thought the constant quarter beat rhythm might be a good direction to go. Other than those two all the others sounded the same to my ears. But these are my ears of course :)

I loved watching you write. My partner a few years ago, who I lost to illness, was a great band musician and he used to write songs in front of me constantly...in the kitchen in the house at coffee in the back garden and in the studio. I liked watching you do the same as he used to do. Lost in me was good.

Mix the word “Headliners” in the intro of outliers , I think it would add great emotion. (Listen to the song real quick and try it, don’t overthink it) 🙏🏻 Great vid ‼️ “The Returned chord progression goes high to low. I think it should go from low to high to build forward moving tension and then on the slower part flip it back around like how you have it originally 🎼 “Just my personal taste, much love man! 🤙🏻

I love it! I record myself singing gibberish over chord progressions and write lyrics to the syllable sounds after. So dope to show us your process man it's personal but it's the best part about being a musician

I really respect the fact you did this. The ‘nonsense scat like’ words to find the melody make me cringe when they’re even mine. But it’s refreshing and motivating to know it’s the process you go through. I also find during this is that a random phrase that just fits will drop out of the nonsense. And that often becomes the theme of the song. It’s like I’m tuning a nonsense radio dial until it lands on the right channel.

I usually get a theme for the song. I write out a bunch of things I know about the subject. Then I get my guitar and figure out a cool chord progression. Then I write a melody and fit lyrics into the rhythm I wrote. -me in the future when I'm actually good a song writing lol

1) *Outliers* - I really like the vocal melody, can imagine the rest of the song & so many uses for it already.. 💭 2) *Returned* especially when u sing it lower.. Can imagine deep rap verses with that..! 🔥 3) *The Great Alone* is the most ready to become a song imo.. Excellent progression, but I think u should change those words, whilst keeping the vocal melody.. 🙈 lol it'd have actually been my fav, with different words.. I really like the _When We Surrender_ title though.. Cool video..! Nice seeing ur process.. - @Acharich
