[Songwriting: How Do You Start A Song?]

"How do I start writing, a book, a song, etc..."  

    Is probably one of the most commonly asked questions in songwriting, although that isn't a bad thing. Personally, I prefer to start writing the lyrics first, since I constantly am writing no matter where I am. I start with a hook, the chorus. One catchy line that will be used multiple times within the song, this is your base. From here on you can write the rest of the song, also, in my opinion it is much easier to write the melody, beat, and background later. Good luck man!
