What way do you find most productive to start writing a song? Do you start with a song concept? Do you start with lyrics? Melody? Rhythm?
I always start building on the lyrics...since most people memorize that (next to the guitar , at least i do )
Do you have a common way of developing your original idea?
Nope... Usual the idea developes itself over time... Patience is the keyword
At what point do you start recording?
When Ive got EVERYTHING in my mind... I dont start at something i know is never gonna work
