How to write your own songs, how to write songs

Learn the guitar first, and then you'll be able to write your own songs.

The process of writing a song is as follows:

1. There are many amateurs who don't even understand music theory, but still create classic songs. Creation lies in people's experience and connotation. Then be good at summarizing and expressing. This is the main one, everything else is a tool.

2. The software can play cooledit. If you know music theory, I recommend professional composition software, cakewalk or calf.

3. Try not to choose the content of the commentary, because it is necessary to give full play to the characteristics of the strong jumpiness of the poem, and "Mirror Envy Xuntou" destroys the most representative picture of the lead faction; Don't just have lyricism and no story, even if it is vaguely told, there must be a little "fragment" or "shadow" of the story.

4. Sentence structure: the basic form of lyrics. That is, the number of words and syllables corresponding to each paragraph of the lyrics should be basically the same. Even if there is a slight difference in the number of words, the syllables should be about the same.

5. Rhyme: Unlike poems, lyrics must rhyme. One, three, and five can not be bet, and two, four, and six must be distinct. In the lyrics, there is generally no rhyme. Of course, if it is for the meaning of the word, it can also be rhymed. But the effect is not as melodic as a rhyme in the end.

1. Brewing: the perception of life, and then the accumulation of mood at this point in time. Brew emotions and set the tone, such as cheerful, sad, etc.

2. Writing words: Describe the mood at the time, which can be made into prose and poetry, and can be narrative. Words should be refined, of course, this is not necessarily, as long as it is real and moving.

3. Humming: This is the most important thing, according to the mood and the previous artistic accumulation. If it's convenient, it's best to have a secondary instrument, such as a guitar, piano, etc.

1.First of all, most songs are written after getting the lyrics, so it is crucial to study the mood of the lyrics first.

2.Once you've studied the lyrics, don't rush into putting together chords. Memorize the words, and when you get inspired, you can even write several versions of a song.

3.When inspiration arises, hum the whole section according to a melody. Because if it's always intermittent, it will make a song feel incoherent.

And be sure to memorize it by rote, it is possible that you will only think of such a certain melody once in your life. When remembering the melody, don't follow the relationship between the high and low tones, if so, the next time you think about it, you remember the relationship but you will definitely forget the relationship between the intervals. Memorizing a melody only requires humming it in your head for a long time.

4.When the melody is all composed, the structure of the whole song is planned. Or interspersed with some rap, the structure can sometimes play a big role.

5.Arrangement (accompaniment), which requires some knowledge of chords. The only step in the production of a song is to use dead chords.

If it is a piano accompaniment, it is generally played with the right hand first, and then the left hand is arranged according to the right hand. Don't be stupid enough to make up something four-fold. If it's a guitar or something, it's relatively simple, and it's basically OK to get the chord progression right.

The chords should be in harmony with the main theme and the high and low of your voice. If it's a multi-instrument, chords are used more. If you want to find a special and prominent feeling in the ordinary, it depends on your personal skills and cultivation.

6.Harmony, harmony is actually a role to set off the main theme. It should be noted that the general harmony feels very ethereal.

7.When you're almost ready, it's time to record, and a regular voice recorder will definitely not work. There are a lot of recording software on the Internet, all of which are not bad. Recommended one: Cool Edit ProIt is relatively practical and not difficult to operate.

1.Decide on the style.

Before you write a song, you first have to determine what style of song you want to make in the end, which includes imagining what style you want to make in the end, because most genres will be determined by the style of arrangement; Of course, the mainstream styles include folk, lyrical, pop, stream, line, rock, EDM, etc.

2.Songwriting.

Songwriting here simply refers to your words + songs, and "songs" include melody + harmony + tune, etc., which is also the most important step in writing songs! The way of songwriting is very different from the habits of ** people, but at the beginning, it can be roughly divided into two categories - composing music for words and filling in lyrics for songs, of course, there are many ways, such as some people are used to making accompaniment first and then writing lyrics, and some people are used to setting the melody and accompaniment before filling in the lyrics.

3.Arrangement. Arrangement is when the lyrics and music are determined, the preparation of the song, including MIDI, orchestration, effects, etc., is also the main part of the production, this step will largely determine the direction of the music style, that is, to determine what kind of effect the final finished audience will hear.

4.Record vocals.

Once the lyrics and arrangements have been finalized (sometimes the arrangements may be being perfected at the same time, but the lyrics must be confirmed), it's time to go into the studio and record the vocals.

5.Mixing, vocal trimming.

Generally speaking, for beginners, it takes a certain amount of time to learn, and continuous practice can do a good job, and the initial stage can be handed over to the recording engineer to deal with or spend money to hire other producers to repair the sound.

1. Understand the basic concepts of lyrics.

To take the first step in writing a song, you first need to understand the basic concepts of lyrics. After all, every song is a story, clarify the theme of the song, which is the so-called clue, and follow the basic clues to make a good layout, including time, place, people, and events.

2. Access to information.

After deciding on the topic, first consult the materials, such as videos, **, history, etc. In this way, you will understand the words, in what direction and what elements need to be structured, so that you will not deviate from the theme and let the lyrics be controlled.

3. Study and research.

When practicing writing lyrics, you can study and study professional lyricists in the field of Chinese lyrics, such as Lin Xi, Huang Weiwen, Fang Wenshan, Wu Kequn, etc. By studying the works of professional lyricists, you can deepen your thinking for your own ideas, understand and understand each lyric, and will help you start writing lyrics faster and better.

First of all, if you want to write a song, you must indicate the theme and what it is about, which is one of the necessary conditions.

Second, it's about rhyming.

For this problem, I didn't know how modern lyrics rhyme in ** before, until I taught myself the knowledge of "Poetry Rhythm" and understood their rhyme tricks.

Generally speaking, whether it is writing poems and lyrics, or composing music, rhyme must be used. They will all have a common use of rhyme, like today's lyrics and prose, all of which have rhyming places. The so-called rhyme is mainly the vowel that rhymes with the same or similar syllables.

Third, learn to record some tunes.

Sometimes when I am walking, or when I am going to the toilet, or reading a book, I suddenly and inadvertently hum a few nice tunes, but I often forget them quickly. So you have to learn to record, and when you find that you are humming a good tune, you can quickly write it down with a simple notation.

Fourth, learn to imitate.

The songs written are all pirated, including many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars covering songs that are already very popular abroad or at home, this is the process of imitation. The easiest way is to take a song written by someone else, fill in the lyrics yourself, and cover it yourself. Now in Douyin**, there are many people who are for fire.

I wanted to write my own emotional story into a perfect lyric, and I don't know how to start.
