How to write the perfect song

While on a long road trip, tired of loop on Pandora and Spotify we resorted to the radio. Weird how everything comes around, if you could see the loop would you make the same mistakes? Or would you learn from your mistakes and make the second time better than the first? While listening to the radio, the thought came to me that every song is so similar when broken down. Axis of Awesome came to mind that cements the theory that they are all alike. Don't believe me, listen to their four chords song and you will soon see. The same four chords are in just about every song and when you realize this it makes it much easier to break it down and write a hit single. Take a page out of the rap community, they take someone's beat and they flow with the words that come to mind. To write a song you can simply do the same thing, find a beat you like and let the words come to you. Let your feeling guide on a lyrical journey. Get your ego out of the way and let the words flow. Even if you only can think of a few lines, in time when you learn to let go you will see it flow. If just the beat isn't enough, think of the type of song you want to write. Now, whatever song comes to mind I know you'll know the words to this songs. Listen to it and sing with it, feel it. You chose this song for a reason, it has meaning and this is good. Feel the song, feel the emotions it brings and turn that song into your own words. Whatever the hook is, change that first and then let the words come to you. The most important part of writing, not just music is doing it from the heart. If you can be vulnerable and let your emotions and your feelings be heard through the music then you know your on the rite path. Anything from the heart is the start to greatness, when your vulnerable people will feel it. Your fans will resonate with it, when you can do this you can be the greatest singer song writer of all time. At the end of the day, everyone just wants to feel something and many turn to music. Why, for the very reasons I have stated above. A song can be anything and everything. A song can get you of a rut or make a bad day better. Music is food for the soul and when someone great comes along that can sing with their heart then you know it will great.

People want to feel something and I can't express this enough. This goes for any job you may have. If it's not something you love then your just going through the motions. What good is this life you were giving if your not doing something you love? Don't be sold on the American Dream, what good is more money if your miserable? When you find that thing you love, do it and it will never feel like work. Lead from the heart, I'm telling you this is the key to success in all aspects of life. Lead from the heart and no matter what you do people will take notice. Be vulnerable and leading from the heart will come easy. Every single person is dealing with something, EVERYONE. When we realize that everyone is struggling in some way, it's easy to forget and forgive. When we can do this, I mean everyone wouldn't the world start becoming a better place to live? Smile and love they neighbor is as simple as that. Too often the world lets greed get in the way greatness. Leading from the heart, it will make it hard to make the wrong choice. The correct choice in the end will have always been the correct choice. Even if at first it seems like your drinking poison. Everyone has done something nice at some point in their life. Everyone has been at the receiving end of it as well. The feelings you get from it, feels nice so why not try to always lead in a way that your always putting out good. Build more good Karma than bad and like I said before it will come around as everything comes in cycles and this it will be ten times better.

If you can understand what I have written then no matter what stage of life your in or what field of work your doing you can start. Start being the change you want to see in the world, be the person you always wished you were or could be. Nothing stops you but YOU, from being great. You are your own worst enemy and your hardest critic. You never know how you look in other peoples eyes. Bit the eyes you want to strive for are that of children. Innocent enough to see the good in you yet blunt enough to tell when your out of line. Children will tell you how it is, at least until society makes them just another sheep. Strive to be the black sheep, the one who does good and does what is right in the world. Think outside of the box and lead from the heart. If you can do this, nothing will stop you. Stop thinking how can I get rich and think how can I be the happiest me? Because the happiest you is what the world needs, not another millionaire. But I promise if you do find that passion and start doing what you love, good things will come. So lets all lead from the heart and start building that good karma for the world to see. It starts with you so smile and make the right choice to be kind and let that heart shine.

-Much Love
