Using A Thesaurus To Conquer Songwriters Block
I believe that as songwriters we need to do whatever it takes to get our songwriting ideas out of our heads and onto paper.
I started Songwriting Zen to document the many different tips, tricks and techniques that can be used to enhance the songwriting process.
I have written about using a Thesaurus in an earlier post called “Songwriting Tools – Rhyming Dictionary & Thesaurus” however, I came across an article by Orlando Gutierrez from www.songwriteradvisor.com, detailing the way he uses a thesaurus to help him write songs.
The article is called “Songwriting Help For Songwriters’ Block”. I hope you get as much out of it as I did.
By Orlando Gutierrez
Few songwriters use thesauruses during the songwriting process, thinking it’s either a form of cheating, it ruins their natural creativity making lyrics sound forced, or simply because they don’t own a copy of one!
But a thesaurus offers the most songwriting help when it comes to songwriters block and there are actually several techniques on how to use it.
First, I assure you it’s not a form of cheating. Furthermore, when used properly, a handful of related words fished from a thesaurus for a given theme can open your mind up to possibilities you would never think of on your own.
Guess what happens after that? Yep, your natural creativity follows, springing ideas from each useful word you can find.
Plain lines become original and interesting, small ideas turn into larger ones with perhaps alternate story lines or feelings for your song themes, and you ultimately become more and more creative on your own as you write each song.
I call that totally original with a helpful push!
By using a thesaurus correctly, you can actually get rid of writers block forever. Understand, however, that you’re going to have better songwriting sessions than others, but you will certainly not fall into writers block!
Next time you proclaim, “Help, I’ve got songwriters block. I need some songwriting help,” don’t feel so frustrated. We’ve all been there and share your pain.
Use this awesome “use-a-thesaurus-to-get-rid-of-writers-block” tip to get you started on the right track, and you’ll be on your way to getting rid of songwriters block forever:
1. Pick a theme for your song. (i.e., let’s say your song theme is something plain like, “I feel so alive because I’m in love with this person”).
2. Pick an interesting or even bland word from your song theme (i.e., the words feel, alive, and love stand out, so we’ll pick the most interesting one first- “alive”). Don’t worry if the original word is bland. One average word brings others to life!
3. Look in your thesaurus or use an online thesaurus such as Rhymezone, and find related words to the word “alive” while thinking of your theme.
These are the related words I found in Rhymezone: aware, awake, vital, give, exist, breathing, life, remember.
4. Now write down these words in a single column on the left side of a paper.
5. Repeat the process with every single related word retrieved from the word “alive”, starting with “aware”, keep building your word list , and keep writing each word until you have two to four columns.
6. Now you have a worksheet to pick words from, which will naturally spring ideas as they relate to your song theme!
As an example let’s review the original words we found on Rhymezone from the word “alive”: aware, awake, vital, give, exist, breathing, life, remember.
Here are four original, interesting lines quickly sprung from this process:
I keep staying awake
Too aware of my breathing
My pulse is amplifying
Everything I’m feeling
It took less than 1 minute. These lines are definitely keepers and can definitely be the start of a solid song. There are some added words not on the list (last two lines), but that’s the whole idea!
These words naturally came to me by using the other words. Mr. Thesaurus once again to the rescue!

Songza Music Search Engine – A Quick Review
Thanks to Mike B at GarageSpin I came across a neat little website called Songza through an article he wrote called “Songza – Music Search Engine & Band Self Promotion”
In the article Mike goes into more detail about the workings of Songza, especially the self promotion for artists and bands component of the site.
If you are a performing songwriter looking to expand your online music marketing opportunities then you need to have a look at what Songza has to offer.

1. Create a profile
2. Search Songza
3. Listen to song
4. Add to playlist

Performing Your Own Material Is Good For You
Last night I played at The Dan as part of the Sunday Singer Songwriter Showcase gigs that I’ve been organizing and I tell you what, it was a fantastic feeling being able to play my own music again.
I would go as far as saying that it was a cathartic experience.
For a couple of years now I’ve been making a living playing covers either as a solo performer, duo or as a band and when I first started going down this path I thought that I would be able to play covers and at the same time, write and perform my own songs.
It hadn’t worked out as I thought it would.
I’ve been able to keep writing songs and keep Songwriting Zen going however, as I relied more and more on cover gigs to generate income it became a real challenge to find the time to slot in gigs that showcase my music.
I made a conscious choice early on to put my original gigging on hold and concentrate on covers for a while. Now I had to start setting some boundaries and adding time limits to this choice I made.
Hence the creation of the Open Mic @ The Dan and the Sunday Singer/Songwriter Showcase gigs. It’s a way of creating opportunities for my own music that otherwise wouldn’t be there.
I love performing my own songs. I love the two way communication between myself and the audience and I love the feeling I get when everything just clicks into place.
Last night was one of those nights.
It was a cathartic experience because I realised that in the time I had been making a living playing other peoples music I really missed playing my own songs. With last nights gig I was able to make up for lost time.
Today I feel really happy. The ultimate test of my songwriting is the reaction I get from an audience. It might not be for every songwriter but it is for me and with last nights gig I’ve proven to myself again that playing my songs is good for my soul.
It’s something that I must do as a songwriter.
As a songwriter I think that it’s really important to find and/or create outlets for your music and lyrics to be seen and heard by someone other than yourself whether it be live, recorded or on paper.
I mean, what’s a song if it has no-one to communicate itself to?

Lyrical Ideas Are Everywhere. Just Listen!
It’s amazing the amount of lyrical ideas we can pick up if we just listened out for them. This concept is explained very clearly in an article by Shamir Rele from his “Songwriting & Beyond” blog called “Songwriting Tips – Listen For Lyrics”.
Personally, I found this article very useful. I hope you do too.
Do you ever have a time where you’re searching for lyrical ideas? I know I do.
Some of you may have already read my newsletter ‘Super-Charge Your Lyrical Ideas’ – and hopefully you’ve grabbed some idea’s from it. Here, I’ll go into it a little bit more.
You should certainly take what is happening in your daily life and try and ‘listen for lyrics’ as they happen to you.
Overheard Chit-Chat
For example, I overheard a conversation at a restaurant the other day (which usually isn’t very difficult) and somebody said the phrase “there’s just no use in me trying”. I immediately jotted it down, came home and starting to write a song based around that phrase.
The song was about a relationship and the girl tried her best to keep it together, but it was sinking situation and the hook (chorus) would sing “there just ain’t no use in my trying”.
This is a very simple yet powerful idea.
Write about your Friends Situation
There isn’t anything like taking ideas from your friends or relative’s life. Of course, if it’s seemingly negative then you may not want to tell them where the inspiration came from
If your friend’s mother just had a heart transplant and the family is going through grief, then why not write a song about it? In fact, why don’t you go one further and make out like the father is cheating with another woman?
Fictionalizing a real life story is often a great way to write a song. Perhaps the father cheating can be a feature of the song.
Yes, this may seem harsh – but look, who’s to say you have to reveal your sources of inspiration? Remember, you are only writing a song here.
Grab the Daily News
What’s happening in the world today? Earthquakes? Tsunamis? Politics? Violence? Racism? Think about the implications of events that are unfolding before your very eyes.
These are the things and the people of the world are listening and watching.
Remember to take things to a new level with your song – meaning think of the depths of these events and circumstances and write from a ‘how this effects us’ stand point.
This is incredibly powerful because people will WANT to sing your song as it effects them too.
Ideas from TV and the Movies
How many times have you watched a movie and have been completely moved by it? This is exactly the feeling people experience when listening to a song they love. It makes them feel validated in some way.
The lyrics are totally congruent with their emotions. Writing about specific situations from TV and films in realistic genres (ie. not sci-fi and horror) will be a route to evoke somebody and then hopefully to like your song enough to want to hear it over and over.
As you can see, the above will surely get your ears listening for lyrical ideas in different situations. Once you make a habit of this, ideas will be flooding in your mind – sometimes non-stop.
Shamir Rele shows us that anyone can learn how to write a song with his ‘no nonsense’ styled approach songwriting tips.

No matter what I do, I find it a real challenge to write lyrics as freely as musical ideas.
I’m pretty sure that this block is a self imposed one however, it’s articles like this one that give me the confidence to write the lyrics that I want to write.
Anyone out there have other tips on writing better lyrics? Let me know, I’m all ears.

My Songwriting/Podcasting Studio Is Ready To Go
Over the last week I have been busy getting everything ready for the next phase of my songwriting. My studio is ready to go. It’s all hooked up and it works.
Having my own space and my own studio to work in has been a dream of mine for a very long time and now, with these tools at my disposal I can explore my songwriting ideas further, pre-produce possible songs for my first CD and record songwriting demos for my band.
I also want to use the studio for producing podcasts. I can see a Songwriting Zen podcast being rolled out very soon
As well as getting my studio hooked up I also purchased a camcorder so I can start producing videos of my music to put up on YouTube and the like. I’m excited by all of this technology however, I’m going to be very mindful not to become a slave to it.
In order to keep myself mindful I constantly remind myself of a friend of mine who, a few years ago, was in the same position as I am in now.
He and I wrote many songs together pre-studio and I always had a lot of fun working with him, no matter what the end result was.
Once we started working together using his studio and not pen, paper and two acoustic guitars the dynamic between us changed dramatically.
Collaboration was starting to become a chore.
A lot of our songwriting time was spent trying to fix studio problems and when we were recording he was more interested in getting the perfect guitar effect rather than putting song ideas down.
Instead of being a songwriter with access to a studio he was becoming an amateur studio engineer and part time songwriter. He became a slave to the technology.
Needless to say we worked together less and less over time. Last time I heard he wasn’t writing at all. That’s very sad. I don’t ever want to end up that way.
I’m all for learning new things and expanding my horizons as long as it doesn’t get in the way of the big picture.
I can see that with new technology it can be very easy to get bogged down in all of the small stuff and forget about the reasons why you got the technology in the first place.
Ah, that’s right! To write songs!

The Importance Of Being A Songwriter
I found an uplifting article by Orlando Gutierrez called “It’s Time To Thank A Songwriter”. It’s a wonderful piece highlighting the very important role that a songwriter plays in the lives of everyone.
If you’ve ever felt like the whole world is against you and you feel that your family and friends don’t take you and your songwriting serious enough, then this article is for you.
Enjoy…
Without question, songwriters are the lifeblood of the music industry.
Without songs, record companies wouldn’t have a product to put out so that all of us could make them rich while enjoying the most appealing sound we know. The sweet sound of music!
Songwriting can be extremely lucrative for persistent and talented people and great songwriters are always in demand by major music publishers who are always on the prowl for new talent.
Then why is it that so many parents aren’t supportive at all of their children’s desire to pursue a songwriting career or any music career for that matter?
On one hand I understand a parent being concerned over the future of their children’s lives because music can be a cut-throat business.
But so are many other career paths, and to squash a child’s dreams of having a music career because of parents’ selfish hopes that their children will become doctors and lawyers is beyond anything imaginable and just about the most hypocritical scenario I can think of.
These same parents are the ones cranking up the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack on their old turntables connected to their Pioneer surround sound systems most every weekend, doing their best John Travolta dance imitation while upsetting the neighbors, and telling everyone how great the Bee Gees songwriting on
the album was, and how the album defined that particular era.
So the message parents send their kids is, it’s okay for someone else to make music for the whole world to enjoy as long as it’s not their child.
These aspiring songwriters face many other hurdles later in life. It’s not uncommon for family and friends to snicker and sneer behind a songwriter’s back wondering when the songwriter’s going to get a real job and quit chasing the pipe dream.
To be successful at songwriting it takes much determination and hard work, virtues that would automatically be respected in most every other career.
The truth is, songwriters need moral support from their family and friends more than from any other source and there generally seems to be a shortage of virtues such as optimism, patience, and understanding from these family members.
For those of you who have shown never-ending support for your significant other, bless you.
For those of you who can’t understand why your significant other is still trying to make it as a songwriter, and you can’t wait for them to finally give it up for your own selfish reasons even though your songwriter is a responsible, caring person, you need to reconsider your actions and desperately need to hug and thank your songwriter before it’s too late!
For those of you friends and family members who have supported a songwriter by watching them play and by buying their 5 song EP’s even though the music damaged your chihuahua’s ears, bless you.
For those of you who call yourself friends when all you do is talk behind the songwriter’s back wondering when is this person gonna’ get a real job and forget this foolishness, you need to trash your CD collection because every single artist on your CD shelf went through the same hard times to even get noticed!
On second thought, take your CD’s out of the wastebasket, but only if you take the time right now to thank a songwriter.
Songwriters have all been influenced and educated by other songwriters, and for this reason, all you songwriters out there should thank another songwriter.
Folks, family members, and friends, the time has come to show these songwriters our undying support. They’re the ones making music for our enjoyment. It’s time to thank a songwriter.

Songwriter Spotlight – Joe Murphy
As mentioned in my last post I’m organizing a series of gigs called the Sunday Singer Songwriter Showcase at the Daniel O’Connell Hotel (165 Tynte Street, North Adelaide).
It kicks off on Sunday, July 27th from 7pm, and the first songwriter to be playing with me at S4 is Joe Murphy.
As well as being a songwriter about town and guitarist for local band Twelve Dollar Monkey he also runs an Open Mic at the Lord Melbourne Hotel on Thursdays.
It’s safe to say that Joe is a very busy boy indeed. He did however, take some time out of his busy life to participate in Songwriters Spotlight.

Joe Murphy
2. URL:
http://www.myspace.com/joemurphy1603
3. Main genre:
Acoustic blues and roots music
4. Years writing:
Ten
5. Words or music first:
I started out writing words first and then music but Ive turned full circle. For me the words have to fit to the music. The other way round is too hit and miss!
6. Why do you write:
It’s the true test of musical ability.
7. How do you write:
I mess around with some guitar licks until something happens that I like. I play it until it’s smooth then merge the ideas together. Then myself or my beautiful partner Susana will write some words.
8. What inspires you:
I have never really gone in for the inspiration thing! I find music comes in waves for a while, one day you can have it and then its gone for a bit. I just write as much as possible in those times.
9. Most important aspect of songwriting:
Hooks both musically and lyrically.
10. Advice for beginners:
Listen to all different styles and learn to complete and format songs.

Sunday Singer/Songwriter Showcases @ The Dan
As you might be aware, every Wednesday night I run an Open Mic at the Daniel O’Connell Hotel in Adelaide from 8:30pm until Midnight.
I love running this event because it’s a great opportunity for anyone to get up and have a go and from time to time you find some great musical talent just waiting for a stage to perform on.
The performers list from week to week is a delightful mix of established musicians to first timers. No matter what the skill level, everyone gets along just fine.
As an extension to the Open Mic @ The Dan concept I have organized a series of gigs on the last Sunday of every month at the Daniel O’Connell Hotel starting July 27th called the Sunday Singer/Songwriter Showcase (or S4 for short).
It starts at 7pm with a 1 hour set from yours truly then, from 8pm a special guest performer will showcase their songs with the evening finishing at 9pm.
The singer/songwriters showcasing their wares at S4 are as follows:
July 27
Joe Murphy
August 31
Combee!
September 28
Courtney Robb
October 26
SP and Sarah
November 30
Cal Williams Jr
I will be running a series of “Songwriter Spotlight” posts on these performers and doing what I can to promote S4 on Songwriting Zen.
If you’re living in Adelaide then be sure to get to the Daniel O’Connell Hotel (165 Tynte Street, North Adelaide) and support local songwriters.
If you live anywhere else I will make sure that audio and/or video of the showcases will be available on Songwriting Zen for you to check out.
Here is the press release I’ve put together for S4:
****************************************

Guitar Lesson – July 15th, 2008
After a week off I’m now back into the swing of things with my guitar lessons. Today’s lesson was in two parts.
The first part was reinforcing what I had learnt from the previous lesson and secondly I was introduced to the concept of shifting lead melodies from one scale type to another.
I tell you, I’m finding all of this lead guitar work a bit daunting at times.
When I started teaching myself guitar I never set out to be a lead guitarist, just to become really good at chords and strumming different rhythms.
I wanted my guitar playing to be focused on writing songs and being able to jam with others at any level. However, by focusing more on my lead playing I’m finding that it’s helping me with harnessing melodic ideas.
The way I see it, is that a song is made of three distinct parts
1. Lyric – What is sung
2. Melody – How it’s sung
3. Arrangement – The rest of it
Over the years of playing guitar I’ve spent most of my time working on the skills needed to produce great arrangements for songs but not enough of that time was spent gaining skills in coming up with good lyrical and melodic ideas.
For a long time I was under the assumption that you have to have a good chord progression for a melody to present itself.
While at the end of day there are no rules to writing a song, one of the things that needs to be avoided at all costs is thinking of your songwriting in terms of “absolutes”.
There is no one way to write a song.
Sure, there are some ways that work for a particular individual more than others but no one way to do it.
My guitar lessons are an exercise in unlearning some bad habits I’ve picked up along the way. This is what happens when you start knowing what it is you don’t know about your craft.
How can you do your process differently? What facets of your songwriting can you unlearn?
Those are the questions you need to ask yourself. Sometimes what you unlearn is just as beneficial as what you do learn.

My 50/90 Progress So Far – The First 7 Days
FAWM’s “50 songs in 90 days” challenge started on July 4th and ends on October 1st. It has been running for one week.
I joined up with the view of putting my theories and experiences to the test. I liken it to Songwriting Zen in the real world however, rising up to the challenge has been harder than what I thought.
I’ve only posted one song so far, a love song called “I Don’t Want To Let You Go” but since then I’ve found it a real challenge to come up with something else.
Over the last couple of days I’ve been going through my main songbook. In this book there are many old songs that aren’t finished or need re-writing.
Even so, I’ve found it very, very hard to finish them off. This is the case for three main reasons:
1. My view on these old songs have been set in concrete.
2. My inner critic has been working overtime
3. I’ve been paralysed by trying to choose between too many songwriting ideas.
By doing this challenge I’ve realised that I have a very similar problem to most songwriters out there.
Finishing off my half written songs.
Thankfully I have other ideas I can work on. Some are on cassette tape and some are on pieces of paper and other notebooks somewhere. I’ll leave the songbook and go onto something else.
I’ll keep you posted on my progress however, in the meantime have a listen to “I Don’t Want To Let You Go” and enjoy.
Until next time, happy writing,
