More times than not I step up to the guitar or piano and pretend the song exists already. I pretend it is great even before I start. Why start timidly thinking "is this gonna be good...is it gonna suck....do i even know how to write a good song?"
Screw that! You have walls lined with gold records! You have millions of fans and 3 live-in maids!
I literally, on my walk to the instrument, envision myself playing a killer new song. How would it go? What does a killer song sound like?
How many great songs have we all heard? Countless.
What makes them so damn lovable? Usually something pretty unique happens early in the song. Something a little unexpected. Something where we kind of go "oh this is nice but i'll probably get bored soon..." and then all of a sudden some kind of magic happens and you start to crave more of it.
Ya wanna know how to make magic? Go left when you usually go right. Say yes when you usually say no. And blammo (!) magic.
Show that song who's boss, don't be scared of it....be bigger than the song. Be an amazing songwriter by believing in yourself. Confidence is the key to success in almost every category.
