It's like physical attraction. It just does it for me.

Oh and we forget to mention life experiences...I mean you're less likely to write a song about tragedy or heartbreak, for example unless you've experienced it.
-
Never made a video before sounds like a new adventure...

In my house, I always say that rather than butterflies who flap around trying to look pretty all time, we are bees. We buzz and make honey!
-
I'm surprised no one has mentioned booze yet (or whatever mind altering substances there are out there).
-
My opinion...practice, perseverence, the "it" factor. A good artist, on the other hand, is open to suggestion and humble, but knows what his/her limits and boundaries are. They stay true to themselves. They also have a realization of knowing when you've written a great song when you have controversy over it, i.e. love AND hate email. I think a truly motivated artist will work hard to connect and build networks with others (not me cause I'm too lazy in my off time).

Google: Diane Warren. There really is no other comparison.

When it comes to music, I'm usually not motivated; just venting.

What's a warn status? Never noticed that before! Will I get a spanking if I get too many bars or something?

Lucky. Radiohead? "I'm so happy 'cause today I've found my friends ... "

Hmmm . . . I'm gonna ponder while I'm at work tomorrow (and cheat by asking around). I'll come back Saturday. I have a feeling it's gonna be like "duh"
-
Oh Crap! I have no idea! If no one answers soon, I'm gonna have to cheat Tom!!!!!

No he won't! I got da killa judo chop!

One liners from one of your favorite songs. See if next person can name the title/band. So it's not too hard, be sure it's a song that's been on the radio and likely internationally. Answer correctly and post the next liner. I'll go first. What song & band/artist did this line come from . . . . "Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove"
-
Yes!!! Most of the time.
-
Now that's the shizzle! I've never heard THAT before . . . and so TRUE! Edit: Can I steal it?

Here's a WRAP on the whole thing: (Start that funky beat . . . .) Refrain is the thing that makes your song sizzle Repeat lines to stanzas that you drizzle You can add them to the front Or add them to the back But D says, "Boys, do we care about that?" Re Re Re Re Re Refrain So Lazz defines the meaning to the word John goes "Girl haven't you ever heard?" You can add it to the front But you should add it to the back Refrain, girl, you should care about that Re Re Re Re Re Refrain Word to your mother!

he, he, he, he . . . now that's the true insight I was looking for
-
Uuuuuuuuhhhhhh, I'm a dingleberry from a different planet, so I don't know what refrain means exactly. You guys still haven't cleared it up for me yet.

Using reference points like V1, V2, Pre1, Pre2, Ch1, B, etc, etc, allows not just individuals who are working with software to tab they're work for quick wave reference, but it also allows collaborators to "sync" with one another. It identifies changes in lyrics and music. If a collaborator asked me "can you increase dbs or change these lines in A," I'd say, "I have no idea what you're taking about and you need to be more specific." This also bring about an interesting idea that songwriting processes are no longer limited to sitting down with your guitar and a paper and pencil. Songwriting now, it seems, is beginning to envelope technology and production scheme from the start.

The best thing about doing collabs via the internet is that it acts as a cushion. The downside is that it takes for F'n ever! I usually tell em ahead of time that rewrite is inevitable. When lines are questionable, I just ask them to send several varying lines so I can pick and choose which line sings better. Of course I'll rewrite it too for vocal purposes. Yes, some lyricists think they've written the bible, but I've worked with more musicians who actually think they're God. I hate having to remind people that it's just music . . . but then again, I can get wrapped up in my own self-absorption sometimes too depending on the status of the moon.

The upside is that a contest would actually spark more compositions/more music/more collaborations/just plain more of everything, which is what we all need. The downside is that a better production will win over a better song-natural selection of music biz 101.
-
Echo that! Otherwise, it's just music OR lyrics (which is still pretty great), but not a "song." A song, you sing. "Song"writers, IMO, should have that at the forefront of their processes/philosophies/whatever.
