This is a great way to start. We keep an apple note ongoing full of different song title ideas for different styles, so then you have something to bring into a session. A cool idea is to have a list of titles that don't mean what the listener expects them to mean... Writing in twists... www.fullcirclemusic.org

One good word of wisdom a fellow industry friend of mine gave me: "There is a big difference between saying a song is "BAD", and a song is "Not For Me" We are in an industry of opinions. Don't get bogged down if someone tells you you aren't a good songwriter. Your songs probably just aren't for them in that moment. www.fullcirclemusic.org

Many Chords Vs Fewer Chords?
fullcirclemusic replied to White Soul Black Heart's topic in Songwriting
I tend to lean towards simple chord structures in my writing. I think that is a pretty big hallmark of most pop music nowadays. It can be very different from genre to genre. Yes, the beatles had some complicated chord structures, which at the time, worked pretty well. Those type of progressions would probably date a song out of being a modern pop song if you tried to go too far. I hate putting rules on songwriting, but that just seems to be the way that it works lately, and if you're writing towards a certain format, it's important to know the rules and characteristics of that format. -
This is a great question. For us, it is never the same how a song starts. Sometimes it is a track or beat. Sometimes it is a song title. Sometimes it is another artist bringing in a verse/chorus and we tweak it and build off of it. I know it's not super helpful, but I don't think there is one right way to start a song! If you're stuck for ideas, just load in an apple loop in garage band or logic and mumble some melodies over top of it, doesn't even have to start with legible words. www.fullcirclemusic.org
