Songwriting Zen – Developing A Songwriters Attitude
“Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new” – Og Mandino
I think the above quote sums up what I call the “songwriters attitude”. If songwriting is life then to get the best out of our writing we need to develop a certain attitude towards our lives.
Let’s explore this further.
We, as songwriters need to look at life differently if we’re to gather songwriting ideas and refine our creative process and perhaps gain some inspiration along the way.
I believe that there are three stages of writing a song.
1. Attitude – What this blog post is about
2. Process – The nuts and bolts writing of the song
3. Result – Song completed
The songwriters attitude is one of letting go of any preconceptions about the world around you and taking everything at face value.
It’s about embracing life for what it is, a wonderfully personal human experience that’s different for everybody. Your songs need to be recorded and shared with everyone.
Develop a need to experience as much of life as you possibly can (whether it be good or bad) so you can write a song about it.
It’s about not being afraid of what others might think and telling the world about your thoughts, feelings, observations, dreams, questions and answers. “Face your fear and do it anyway” as the well known cliche says
It’s about becoming a reciever for the ideas that are floating about in the ether. Becoming open to what the song want you to do with it. As Keith Richards says
“Songs are funny things, they wake you in the middle of the night and say “I go like this”. They control you until you’ve done the right thing by them.”
It’s about being more aware about what is happening in the world, what people are doing and saying and being prepared to write down what you feel, hear and see.
It’s about finding out what is the essence of you and attempting to put that onto paper so that no matter what you write it will always be from your own unique perspective.
I could go on and on and on but hey, it’s all about allowing ourselves to be a songwriter. Allowing ourselves to explore the grey areas of life and finding the light and shade. Allowing ourselves to ask “what would happen if?”
Qestion everything. Develop a childlike curiosity for the world. As the beginning quote says “… never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new”
Ask yourself this question. “What does a songwriters attitude mean to me?” Then write it down.
Until next time, happy writing,

Find Your Own Songwriting Voice, Learn From The Experts
No, I’m not saying that you should copy another song and then call it your own however, by asking yourself “what songs do I like to hear?” and studying those songs to define what unique voice you have is a great start towards improving your own songwriting.
Remember, you dont have to promote or perform every song that you write.
Just as a painter goes through a number of drafts from rough sketches to a finished painting, we as songwriters can do the same thing with our songs. Sometimes its good to play around with other peoples songs just to see what happens.
Sadly, it seems that creativity has become outcome driven just like everything else in this world. There’s an underlying attitude in this society that “creativity is only a good thing if it makes money”.
What a load of bull!
IMHO, the ultimate goal of a songwriter or any creative person for that matter, is to find their own voice and to share that voice with the rest of the world.
One of the ways in which a songwriter can find their own voice is through imitation. Imitation is how we developed our own personalities.
As a child we copied what everybody else was doing. At this time in our lives we were doing everything for the first time. We had no point of reference of our own so we had to utilise someone elses.
Its the same with songwriting. How do we know our voice if we don’t compare it with others first?
Ask yourself three simple questions:
1. Who are your favourite artists/bands?
2. What are your favourite songs?
3. Which artist, band or song is popular at the moment?
Armed with this information you can start your songwriting study project “Learning From The Experts”
With your favourite artists or bands list the reasons why you are so attracted to them.
Is it the emotional content of their songs? Is it the way they play live? Is it their philosophy on life? By doing this you are finding out what makes you tick emotionally.
Your favourite songs might be from your list of artists and bands but then again they might be from others.
Songs are funny things. They can get into your psyche and wreak havoc or they can allow wonderful memories to never be forgotten. The list of songs that you’ll have in front of you will be the physical and tangible benchmark of where your songs will possibly be based from.
By looking at what is popular at the moment you’ll have an idea as to what the listening public are tuning into right now!
Your own taste in artists, bands and songs may not be the same but it is still good to put all of your preferences aside and study what is happening now as well as what you like.
Immerse yourself in this exercise, start listening and researching lots of music and keep writing along the way.
If you play an instrument start learning your favourite songs and play them around the house. Notice the form of the song, the chords and arrangement used and the melody and how it fits with the rhythm.
If you don’t play an instrument, that’s fine. Get the lyrics and study how the words fall together to allow you to paint a picture in your mind or to follow a well told story. Sing or hum the melody and try to feel where it is going.
Does it take you on a journey or do you have to work with it to have the song make sense to you?
Once you’ve done that, write a song in the style of your favourite artist or take one of your favourite songs, write out the chords and invert them and see what happens. Play around, experiment with speed and pitch. If you have a capo for your guitar, use that.
Don’t let your inner critic tell you that this exercise is a waste of time.
Always remember you don’t have to promote or perform every song that you write. Some songs will be a stepping stone to the next one.
The song you write from this exercise today may be the first draft of another song that you might write tomorrow.
As you’re doing this you’ll discover what works for you and what doesn’t. Eventually the sum total of what works plus your own experiences and emotional triggers will be the beginnings of your own songwriting voice.
Give it a go. Creativity is supposed to be fun.

Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention
I want to share with you all a story which is an example of turning a raw deal into a wonderful songwriting situation.
I was doing this outdoor solo gig at a tennis club. It was a great little spot. I was on the roof of the club with about 150 others and covering my part of the stage was one of those huge outdoor umbrellas weighed down by two 60 kg weights.
Things were going really well. I had finished my first set and was downstairs having lunch when all of a sudden, one of the organisers of the gig said to me with a pained look on his face.
“Corey I think you should come upstairs and have a look at what’s just happened”
My heart sank. It didn’t sound good.
Sure enough, a freak gust of wind had toppled the umbrella onto the PA system which, in turn landed on my Maton acoustic guitar snapping the poor thing in half.
The show went on and all in all it was a very good show. However, I was faced with a very sad truth. I was without a guitar.
The first thing I said to myself was ‘how am I going to write songs?’
Lots of other things went through my head as well but I calmed myself down and made a deal that I would not freak out. I am going to make this situation something of a learning experience and see what happens.
It was time to get out of my comfort zone.
As it turned out I had nothing to worry about as it almost always is the case with these sort of things. I borrowed guitars from friends for the shows. Rehearsals turned into songwriting sessions because there was only one guitar between two people.
In one session we wrote or finished off three songs. How productive was that!
Instead of relying on my guitar to drive my own songwriting, it forced me to write lyrics and hum melodies into a tape recorder. I was using my voice recorder on my mobile phone and my answering machine a hell of a lot more as well.
I started carrying around a notepad again and stopped myself anywhere to write down whatever idea came into my head at the time.
Eventually the money to replace my guitar came through and I bought myself a beautiful Taylor 324-CE-L10 Fall Limited Edition Acoustic Guitar.
I am now in songwriting heaven. The amount of playing and noodling that I have been doing has been insane.
That doesn’t take away the fact however, that for two months I was without a guitar and I made do very nicely thankyou.
The experience showed me that:
1. I wasn’t using all of the songwriting tools at my disposal
2. I was relying on my guitar too much to create ideas for songs
3. I can make things happen from nothing
4. Lyrics and melody make a song, not arrangement
They were powerful lessons which I’m very thankful to have learnt. It wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t go through the pain of loss. We all have inside us the power to get things done and to create things out of nothing.
Get out of your comfort zone and create without consequence.

Songwriting Tip – Develop A Sense Of Wonder About Everything
“Everyone has at least five great albums in them” – Chris Martin, Coldplay
I saw an interview with Chris Martin and Will Champion from Coldplay on the TV the other day. The interview covered a lot of topics but it was the discussion about the bands songwriting process and philosophy that interested me the most.
Chris Martin went on to say that the world is an amazing place for many different reasons and that he couldn’t understand why songwriters feel that they have nothing to write about.
It was at that moment he said that “everyone has a voice, and has a story to tell about something.”
Bravo Chris!! I couldn’t have said it better myself.
The concept of developing a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world around you was also mentioned and to me, that concept is one of the keys to keeping your songwriting process fresh and inspiring.
Imagine what it would be like if everything you perceived touched, moved and inspired you enough to write down how you felt for the purpose of sharing your feelings with everyone else, without the pressure of having some sort of end result happening or the need of approval from an external source to justify your existence.
It would be a feeling of liberation.
This is what happens when you develop a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world around you. I know it’s a big ask but it’s not an impossible thing to do.
Have you noticed how young children look at the world. It’s like they are experiencing every moment for the first time. This is the feeling I’m talking about.
In developing this skill the first thing to do is to understand the notion of creativity.
Dictionary.com defines the word creativity as “the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods and interpretation.”
To create something means that you “cause something to exist or bring into being”.
This is an amazing concept. We can cause something to exist out of nothing. What wonderful pieces of work we human beings are.
Note how I said that it’s a talent we all have?
Developing wonder and curiosity in your life takes a lot of practice. You can start by asking yourself the question “what am I feeling right now?” and start writing it down, all the feelings and their descriptions.
While you are doing listen to what is going on inside your mind. I bet you are hearing things like:
“What a stupid question to ask”
“This is a waste of time”
“This doesn’t mean anything”
“You could be doing something else”
“This is not important”
Stop! You are hearing the very reason there are less songs in the world than there could be. The Inner Critic!
Now that you have acknowledged the existence of your inner critic keep going with the exercise and take note of the chatter getting more and more intense.
Once you feel you can’t stand the chatter any longer, stop what you’re doing and have a look at what’s in front of you. It might look like gobbledigook or, it might be the beginnings of a song idea.
Either way, you asked yourself a question and your wonderment and curiosity enabled you to find the answer.
By repeating this exercise in your everyday life, in the form of mindfulness you’ll be able to look at everything that you perceive as a creative possibility of existence from nothing.
If I try to put all this in some sort of formula it might look something like this.
(wonder + curiosity + questions) + action = creativity
There are an infinite amount of ideas for you to write about. If only you’ll let yourself do it. You do have a story to tell.

Songwriting Perfection Is But A Mere Illusion
I received a message the other day from a songwriter who expressed to me the pain they experience writing songs.
In the messege he mentions to me that the philosophy he uses in his songwritng process is “if it aint a hit, it aint worth writing”. No wonder he’s experiencing the pain of songwriters block.
I think that the concept of “if it aint a hit, it aint worth writing” is more common among songwriters than we care to admit.
Allow me to be a little blunt here. This struggle for perfection kills people.
It kills their creativity, kills inspiration and sometimes (in extreme circumstances) the drive to perfection can kill a person physically.
There is a huge difference between being driven to write great songs and being driven to write perfect songs.
In my reply I said “… try not to see songwriting as a means to an end (the hit song) but as a means to let yourself go. Dont put yourself under so much pressure.”
How much pressure do you put yourself under? A lot!
Is it worth it? NO!
The notion of perfection in anything is but a mere illusion. It’s created by the ego and massaged into existence by insecurity, jealousy, doubt, low self esteem and shame.
Songwriting should be a celebration of life, of letting yourself go, setting yourself free and playing around with your creativity. It’s not about reminding yourself how inadequate you are because you compare yourself needlessly to other songwriters.
Always remember that there is not another one of you on this planet so therefore your experiences, your thoughts, your insights, your feelings, your dreams, your desires, your observations and the way that you question life, universe and everything are uniquely yours and yours alone.
What does that mean? It means that
1. There is no point in comparing yourself to others as there is no one else but you to compare yourself to in the first place
2. Being the unique creature that you are whatever you say is always very, very important.
The concept of perfection would only exist if there was something perfect to attain to in the first place. Now granted, there have been some amazing songs written but none of them are perfect and they never will be.
We, like our songwriting are all works in progress.

Is Knowing Music Theory Really Necessary For Songwriting?
I hear a lot of beginning songwriters bemoan the fact that they have little or no musical theory knowledge and therefore will not be able to write ‘good’ songs.
For me, songs come from the heart and mind not from some mathematical formula. However, if you want to learn music theory, do it because you want to, not because you feel that you have to.
Some songwriters I know really get worked up over the musical theory of their songs while others write songs purely by feel. The funny thing is, that what comes out at the end of it all are just as good as each other.
Let me digress and tell you a little story.
From between the ages of 11 through to 16, I studied music through school and learnt to play the clarinet in the process. It gave me a great opportunity to immerse myself in musical theory. I found music theory facinating although, I was probably the only person in my class that felt that way.
In that time I had dreams of composing contemporary music and going to university to expand on my musical knowledge.
Thank God I discovered the guitar!
When, at the age of 15 I decided to change my musical direction and get into playing in bands and writing songs I had an interesting dilemma. I had to unlearn my knowledge so I could play with ‘feel’. That was an interesting thing to do.
It was in that unlearning process that I discovered that knowing music theory is not necessary to write a song.
AÂ song is made up of two parts. The first part is the song lyrics and the second part is the melody. Musical theory generally deals with the arrangement of the song (the chords, harmony, dynamics etc) which is determined by the melody and the rhythm of the lyrics anyway.
Even though I believe that music theory in songwriting is not necessary I have found my own knowledge useful for the following reasons:
1. I use it for the purpose of ‘musical detective work’.
2. I call on my knowledge to lead me in directions I would never have thought of.
3. I can communicate my song ideas to other musicians more effectively.
4. I have a more intimate knowledge as to the “why” things work with each other.
I believe that it’s not the musical theory knowledge that’s important but the attitude that you have towards it. To someone that doesn’t feel this way having the theoretical knowledge can be a real hinderence. Reasons why include:
1. You might feel that you are better than someone who don’t have the same knowledge (elitism)
2. You look at your songwriting through a finite and restrictive set of ‘rules’
3. You might try to show off your knowledge by overcomplicating your songs.
4. You forget that simplicity is often the best.
To me, songwriting is about learning, un-learning, constructing and doing whatever you can to make your songwriting idea a reality. Having the theory knowledge is a bonus but not essential in writing a good song.
To be a good songwriter you must have the desire to be one. That’s it!

The Art Of Keeping Your Songwriting Simple
As songwriters we should be always looking for ways to express what’s inside our minds, our hearts and what we observe.
We also have to balance that with the fact that we want others to listen to our songs and relate to, embrace and make them a part of their lives. Right?
So, in saying that, why do we complicate the message or statement that we’re trying to put across in our songwriting
If we make things too complicated how do we expect our listeners, our audience to relate to our songs?
Songs are generally between three to five minutes in length so there’s only a small window of opportunity to create a lasting impression with your listener.
The best thing that you as a songwriter can do is:
1. Create an environment in which the listener can immediately understand and relate to what you are trying to say.
One song, one songwriting idea
One song, one story.
One song, one point of view.
One song, one image.
2. Don’t give the listener any more than one choice.
Allow the listener to focus on your song not be bamboozled by it.
If you try to introduce more than one idea into the song you start creating mixed messages for the listener. The last thing you want to is to confuse your listener into turning off from your song.
We live in a world in which information is instant. People today demand the information that they recieve to be concise, to the point and easy to understand.
Songs, as a medium to convey information are no different.
3. Hold the listeners hand through your song and take them on the journey.
Once you have established the point/story/message of the song you have a certain amount of time to really explore that with the listener. This is where the fun begins, this is where your creativity as a songwriter comes into play.
The balance between words and rhythm becomes very important here otherwise the song becomes clumsy and hard to understand.
A great example of a songwriter that is keeping it simple is Jack Johnson.
I was introduced to him about a year ago through my sister. She gave me one of his albums to listen to. I put it on and I was struck by the simplicity and the minimal beauty of his songs.
I understood what he was trying to say straight away. Isn’t that is the whole point of writing songs?
Here is a songwriting tip for you. Go through your songs and for each one, write down all of the points you are trying to make. Really analyse your songs to see if you are putting too many messages in them.
If for instance you have a song in which there are three distinct message that you are trying to convey, seperate the messages and write three songs about each of them.
Personally, if there’s a song which for some reason I can’t finish, it’s normally because I’m trying to say too much in it. Once I strip it back, a way to finish it magically appears before me.
Lets see if that happens for you. If it does, let me know.
Until next time happy writing,

Having A Day Job vs Starving For Your Art
Some musicians I know believe in the concept of the starving artist. They seem to think that the more they starve for their art the more successful they’ll become.
Personally, I couldn’t think of anything more destructive to my creativity than being a starving artist. Although, that wasn’t always the case.
In the past, I looked at day jobs as evil things that got in the way of my songwriting. However, by not having a job, it gave me the time that I wanted but not the money needed to utilise my spare time wisely and efficiently.
It takes a lot of effort worrying how you’re going to pay the rent or where your next meal is coming from. I endured this agony for a couple of years.
That experience taught me that having a day job which supports your songwriting is the best way to go.
After a number of attempts doing odd jobs here and there I now run my own business Orangutang Music.
For me, having a day gig has so many benefits:
1. I have a regular income coming in.
2. With this regular income comes less stress caused by financial worry.
3. New job = new environment, new people, new skills to be learnt, new experiences and new opportunities to harvest song ideas.
4. A new appreciation for the time that I do devote to my songwriting process.
Don’t become a ‘job snob’ like I have had been in the past and spend precious songwriting time chasing the dollar and putting yourself under financial pressure.
Being a full time musician is a wonderful thing but if you are going backwards financially because of it then, you got to ask yourself, “Is it really worth it?”
Taking a day job does not mean that you should believe in your abilities any less.
If you can manage doing your music full-time then go for it however, if you are not at that stage yet you have some serious things to think about.
Letting your creativity flourish in a financially stress free environment should be the highest priority.

Using Jam Sessions As A Songwriting Tool
Music and songwriting is my life.
I find it hard to have room in my life for anything else. Music is also my social life as well. I know lots of musicians and we all have one thing in common. WE LOVE TO JAM!
Getting together with other musicians and playing music for its own sake is a form of songwriting collaboration.
Just because there is no real definite goal in mind doesn’t mean the interaction between the musicians/songwriters is of any less value. I tell you now, the energy a good old fashioned jam session creates is amazing.
What’s also amazing is when musicians who’ve never played together synchronise their ideas to generate a song which becomes alive in that very moment in time.
I look for any opportunity I can to play with other musicians and songwriters. It’s a great way for me to meet other people in a setting in which everyone shares something in common.
A love of playing music.
To maximise the songwriting idea gathering benefits of jamming with other people here are some suggestions:
1. Go in with an open mind. Dont have any pre-conceived ideas or notions as to the result of the jam.
2. Always record the jam sessions. Bring a tape recorder or, if you’re jamming in a studio, ask to have it recorded.
3. Keep the jam session as informal as possible. Any idea that leaps forward just run with it, explore and HAVE FUN.
4. Listen back to it after your done. You’ll be amazed by what all of you have created. You’ll be inspired.
The most important thing is that you record the sessions. For me, many songs have been written using this method.
Jam sessions is a great way to collect songwriting ideas and enjoy playing music at the same time. Who can you jam with today?
Until next time, happy jamming,

There’s Nothing Wrong With Re-Writing Your Songs
Lets be honest here. I don’t know of any songwriter that likes the thought of re-writing their work.
You hear stories of songs that “almost wrote themselves”. Hit songs that were written in ten minutes, in one sitting. I wonder how many times it actually happens that way?
Imagine being an author for a moment.
The average word-count for a novel is between 60 and 100 thousand words. Add to the mix the fact that a writer will complete at least three drafts of a manuscript before submitting it to a publisher . It’s safe to say that there’s a lot of work involved in creating an end result.
And we, as songwriters are worried about re-writing a four minute song.
Let me ask you this? What is the purpose of the songwriting process? It’s certainly not to write a song in the shortest space of time and in the first attempt.
It’s to create the best song possible at the time with the information and the tools at your disposal.
I used to think that once you finished writing a song, that was it. To me, the concept of re-writing something that came from my heart meant that I had failed as a songwriter.
Not so.
I was introduced to the concept of re-writing songs a while back through a writer friend of mine whilst having a conversation comparing what I did as a songwriter to what he did as an author.
I told him that I would normally spend a decent amount of time getting a song completed and then I would leave it to go onto the next thing I was doing.
Being a singer/songwriter I write songs to perform to my audience. I wanted to come up with something new for every gig. I was having way too much fun being creative to worry about editing my songs to make them more listenable.
What my friend was saying was that there should be an extra step in my songwriting process. The editing stage.
He made the point that songwriters, like authors, should look at their creations as a series of drafts. Some songs will need less editing and some will need more.
This to me made a lot of sense.
Since that conversation, I’ve got out my old songbooks and started to go through every song I’ve written looking for ways in which my songs can be improved or edited down.
It’s amazing what I have discovered through doing this exercise. Things such as:
1. Lyrics that can be changed
For me, there are always one or two lines of a song that can be strengthened. Sometime I read through a song and I notice myself cringing at a line. That is the time to change it for something better.2. Better chord structures that fit in with my melodies
This happens with older songs I have written in which the musical knowledge I have now was much more than what is was back then. I’m using what I have learned along the way to the songs advantage.3. Changing song formating
Some of my songs are crying out for a bridge or a pre-chorus that I had not even considered before. This is the time to write them.4. Songs having too many ideas or confusing messages
Some of my songs need to be simplified and in doing so I have even written another song from that.What a bonus!
When you think about it, your songbook is an aural version of a photographers portfolio. It’s good songwriting practise to look over your completed songs from time to time with a new set of ears and edit and adjust as necessary.
It’s done wonders for me.
Until next time, happy writing,
