I have dozens of finished songs but no music for them
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some advice or maybe even someone to collaborate with.
I can write complete lyrics on my own. Lyrics, concepts, storytelling, verses, choruses, bridges, all of that comes pretty naturally to me. The problem is that when it comes to the actual music side of things, I’m completely lost.
I don’t know how to create melodies, rhythms, chord progressions, or instrumentals. I can hear the emotion I want in my head, but I have no idea how to turn that into actual music. Most of the time I end up with pages of lyrics and no clue what they should sound like.
Has anyone else started from a lyrics-only background and learned the music side later? If so, where would you recommend I begin? Are there any beginner-friendly tools, courses, or methods that helped you understand melody and songwriting from a musical perspective?
I’d also love to hear how lyricists usually find producers, composers, or musicians to work with.
Any advice would be appreciated.
