Songwriting

Hey guys 

How are you all!? 

So the last post I made, I said that when I procrastinate I like to divert to music and songwriting. 

 Sooooooo I thought that I might share with you all how I go about doing this! 

Tips and Tricks 

1. Firstly I have to be in a 'songwriting mood'. 

- I believe songwriting is not something you can force. The best songs I have written have come when I was just singing random stuff while mucking around on the piano. 

- I find that when I surround myself with people, or expose myself to different situations, I experience convicting emotions meaning that lyrics and melody come easiest :) 

2. The more you do it the easier it comes 

- If you give yourself opportunity to be free in the moment and sing when and what you want, the quantity of new material grows significantly. 

- Also it's a good way of expressing how you feel and I find it is a good stress reliever. 

3. You won't remember it later so write/record it now. 

- Honestly the amount of times I have gotten out of bed at 12 pm at night and gone and sang into my phone with a croaky as voice and eyes barely open is uncountable... 

- The best advice I can give is have your phone on record even if you think you will remember it because you never do.

Anyway I hope that helps you all and gives you some ideas when it comes to songwriting! 

Lot's of love, Eilis xx
