r/Songwriting

I have an issue: after a year of a constant songwritting it's still impossible for me to figure out when i should change vocal melody/flow without long breaks. I still have very blurry vision of songs on sessions and getting tired on sessions fast, through i have a lot of experience in music. What advise you could give me?

when i say “heavy” i mean big instruments that take up a lot of space in the mix. i’m writing one song right now, and the bass i have i really like, so i wanted to continue to use it once i actually produce it, however it’s really big and it always feels a bit overwhelming. (if you need an example of it it’s some of the most recent posts on my profile) so how would you go about including something like that in the mix without it taking over too much?

Obscure but good

Paparazzi

Talvez essa seja realmente interessante. Com um Refrão retirado e inspirado no da música "Paparazzi" produzida por Chasity Nwagbara e rejeitada pela Britney Spears durante as produções do seu álbum "Blackout", e com versos retirados e inspirados em uma música descartada minha chamada "Não Importa Onde Eu For", ela é montada em meio a um cenário de fama caótica, uma parte do meu cotidiano. Não sou uma celebridade, rico ou famoso, mas desde que era uma criança sempre fui perseguido pela minha família e as pessoas ao meu redor, sempre tinha algo de errado sobre mim, algo que precisava ser concertado, melhorado ou descartado. Agora, mesmo após os 18 ainda não posso ter controle sobre como gosto que meu cabelo esteja ou ter um espaço pessoal para mim, sempre sendo invadido e desrespeitado. Mesmo tendo meu próprio dinheiro e comprando minhas próprias coisas, minha família ainda me faz me sentir um lixo sobre as roupas que gosto de usar e meu estilo. Como explicar a alguém que sinto como se todos me olhassem na rua e pudessem me atacar a qualquer momento por conta de um short? Me adoece não poder ser eu mesmo, por não conseguir me sentir bem com quem sou, seja lá oque for, tudo por conta disso. Meu paparazzi não me ataca com câmeras e mentiras em capas de revistas, ele invade meu espaço, me desrespeita, suga minha auto estima e por fim me chama de louco.

Im looking for a songwriter helping me writing some Songs for my First Album. Im underage and music is my biggest Part of my identity so i First wanted to make one Song, but it was so much fun i wanted to make a full Album. Now a full Album writing alone is quite a Challenge so i wanted to Ask you Guys, i cant pay tho

How does it make you feel? Does it feel too long, too short? What do you think of the lyrics? Does the melody sound too similar to another song? I was worried about this myself. It sounds so familiar but I couldn’t place it. maybe that’s a good thing.

I just wanted to make a post to tell you all about the "Songdays" series I've been using, and perhaps you'd want to participate. For your social posts used the #Songdays hashtag with the date in parens (7/5/2026)

Title (7/5/2026) #songwriting #songdays

There are 3 basic rules:

• A song started on a certain date
• A song finished on a certain date
• A song about a certain date in time

Over time dates will coincide across the net.

Seine I was 13 I always been a songwriter writing on paper then as I got older I would type out my songs in my notes app and use ai to help me come up with lyrics cus I thought it was easier, but I want to write songs and poems on paper and come up with words to write about but I don’t feel creative anymore or can come with any original ideas, I only write on paper in school which I feel guilty about because I should be writing more outside of school, I want to write songs, poems, my feeling’s, this is a very common issue for lots of people and I don't know what to do about it

I've heard the songwriting advice that you should read lyrics to songs you like without listening to them so you can get a better understanding of structure, etc. I'm really bad at doing this without singing the song in my head, so I'm looking for some of your favorite songs (or artists) that I can read the lyrics to!

I’ve been thinking about this lately because I’ve been struggling to write anything that I think is great. I still keep writing and finish whatever I can, even if it’s just fragments, because I know that’s part of the process.

It made me wonder if you had to put a dollar value on the best song you’ve ever written, what would it be?

For example, if someone guaranteed that a $1,000 vacation or a songwriting retreat would result in one song you’re genuinely proud of, would that be worth it to you?

Curious how other songwriters think about this.

I'm an Italian Producer, i'm looking for new People to start projects with me for FREE.

If you're interested contact me and we're going to talk :)
