I almost said goodbye to my favorite hobby...

I was so overwhelm during the time when I learn a quite a lot in programming. I enrolled a course in a popular school just close to the place where I reside. I just realized that I can't be a plain musician through the rest of my life, if i would be, I will bringing down myself and there will be no possibilities and opportunities other than making and producing new lines of lyrics that comprise a song that I will be writing and hear some compliment from other people who hears me sing my own song but they won't give me what I need so I decided to make up my self and face another phase in my life where I will be facing a new things. I am a newbie programmer so you can't expect a lot from me yet when it comes to programming but there's one thing that I am sure of, I enjoy dealing with programming syntax and making a program by myself inside my own imaginary world where everything is possible when I think of it. Doing all these things for quite half year, I almost forgot that I am a song writer, by heart and by head, I am. It turned into a crash when I made a stare on books and brush on them almost everyday and every night dealing with program syntax and logic.Because of this, what's in my heart turned it's point to another stuff so it's quite bloody to me because I have to choose between two lines. But what ever my decision would be, one thing is for sure, I won't forgot my given talent wherever or whenever I maybe.

Two Confidential Vocalist of Saosin Sang Together

You got to see this stuff! It seemed like it is impossible because of the rumors that had been spread out. I think this will end up all the murmurs and false alarm about the former Saosin Lead Vocalist Anthony Green and the recent Vocalist of the band Cove Reber. It has been on the news on the music scene for quite long time that the two main man were having a hard feelings to each other but it's seems like it wasn't true when you see this video.

This video was captured and uploaded by Joppyrocks(part 1) and playswithsquirrel(part 2) on Youtube.com. This song is called "I've been dying to reach you....

Record your song after you write it.

Hello Readers!!! I just want to share my knowledge about recording a song you wrote originally or just recording a song that you want to sing and hear how you sang it.
All you need is a sound recording tools that can record any sound in good quality. If you ought to be a singer most probably you know how to play musical instrument and the very common is guitar. I'm not saying that guitar is the easiest instrument to be learned but what I am saying is that it is commonly use by song writers specially when they don't know how to read notes and they only make songs in a guitar based manner. There are song writers that uses piano to help them marking the notes that they are scoring most song writers who uses piano as a tool for song writing are the ones who knows how to read notes. You can use any instruments that you know how to use. If you don't know how to play any musical instrument, don't worry, you can still record by doing acafella or the manner of singing without musical background or instrumentalists but it's better when you know to play even just one.
For recording you piece, as I said at first, you need a recording tools to make it possible. Right now the most commonly used recording tool is your PC. It is the most affordable recorder which has good quality recording. To record using your PC you must have a recording software to make sense because if you do not have any recording software installed in your PC you can't record at any means. For pro recordings they are using expensive software like Pro Tools recording studio software which costs $90 or some more stuff at the same sort which are also expensive as Pro Tools. You found it expensive? Don't worry there are still free recording software that you can find on the internet. AUDACITY is just one of those. this is also the one that I am using. It is actually great for song recording because almost all of the necessary recording and editing tools are included on it. I can say that Audacity is just a free version of those expensive recording software.
To start recording your song, all you need to do is turn your PC on and install Audacity and enjoy it's free but quality features and I bet you will definitely enjoy this one.

Blues of a Song Writer

I just wrote this article to publish what I feel. I know it's kinda weird to hear it but this is the only decent way I know to express what I feel. You know, when I think of something really really bad or sad, it's never enough to just write it in a song, I still need some other means to get this off my head to ease something hot on my chest. It's just kinda hard to spell it out but I just need to make myself calm and relaxed other wise I might take a step onto a bridge with fast running water on it and just jump off there. In other words, I might go crazy if I won't be able to tell this to someone or just shout it out. I just have to make it clear that I have no hard feeling against someone here, All I am pertaining to is myself. (I just have to make it clear to the advertisers on this site for the sake of our agreement.)

Did you already feel something like you want to tell someone the thing that you can never tell? Or let us just put it this way, you are a writer and you can't write what's in your chest because of some circumstances that hides you to the spell it out or you are a song writer or a singer that have been wanting to make something as your inspiration and you failed to write about it because you don't want to ruin someone's persona. It's very hard to get out when you are trapped to this kind of situation. It's really hard to get over or to find another way to do it because what you really felt to write will be affected and the your write up or your song will be dull or empty.

I won't be surprised if you can't get what I mean to this because I didn't state all that I felt and all the things in my head because of some content restriction. :-) Still, Thanks for reading and trying to understand this post.

Heartfelt Songs and Melodies

When you plan to be a real song writer, you don't just write to make a huge collection of your original compositions but you have to be concerned about the quality of your piece instead.
If you can noticed, nowadays, most of the song writers are no more concerned about what will be the impact of the songs they write towards the people who will listen to it. I can understand them on the other hand, maybe because they only have a particular deadline to submit their compositions or they're are just caught in a rush to finish their self titled album bearing in mind that they won't have anymore time to get on the mainstream. There are lots of reasons regarding the quality of the songs which are made by the professional song writers.
But be that as it may, they have deadlines to follow, is it to rush the making of the song will fit as an answer for that? Do they think that it will be a great hit? Do they think that the money that they will get after writing the song will be equal to the quality of a rushed song? I don't think so, because when a song wasn't made by heart it would possibly come out with a loser quality and not so good tones and lyrics. All in all, a rushed made song will not be a high quality one.
Heartfelt songs are the songs which can be called as the immortal hits because they got all the qualities a hit song must have. Firstly because it is written by heart and possibly it is not a rushed made song. Personally I like what these kinds of song make the listeners feel when they hear them. A love song that comes from the heart of the composer, a rebellious song about someone who wants a real liberty, a song of a child to his mother/father and any other songs that are conveying real meanings coming from the heart the one who wrote
it.

There are Times that It's Just Really Hard to Think of an Inspiration for a Song.

Sometimes it's hard to find inspiration for a song. Take note of this, I am not saying that it's hard to write one but what am I saying is that it's hard to find an inspiration to write one.
I once experienced this kind of situation when I am trying to find something that could make me write a song and yet I can't find even one. I already did everything. I already walked and took my luck on the road just to find something that could make sense to me and finally make me want to write about it but I was so frustrated. I didn't make it. I didn't find one. I also explore my place and I've been to other place but I still can't some something to write about. Yes, song writing is also a sort of journalism for me, you also write what's in your heart and in your head but the only difference is you will be writing it in a form of song. That is why it seems like I'm talking about article writing here but I'm not. Song writing is also a kind of poetry for me but the only difference is that you need to write with tone. Since song writing belongs to those kinds, you have to have even just a single inspiration that will inspire you to write one. Only, there are times that it is just really so hard to find something to inspire you.

Song Writing as a Hobby

Writing song is not actually a mission impossible only if you have talent on it and you have the guts to do it. From the first place it doesn't necessarily that you need to have a great endurance on pain just to write a song, hehe, you just need to give sometime and effort on writing song.
As a student, it's a good mind conditioning to me to write song. It helps me relieving stress when I'm stressed out on school. Maybe it's because I'm a musician so I enjoy doing it. I'm only showing by example that you don't have to take an extra mile to write one. A hobby is not done with stress, in fact it's done to relieve stress or to enjoy some sort of boring moment of your life. Like what I do, programming is my major subject right now so I'm dealing with so much brain twisting stuff most of the time. Because of this I need an ice breaker or else I'll be crazy. So if it's my break time off of school, It's my time to write some sort of song about how I feel and how things went through. Not all of my songs are on this sort of topic because sometimes my songs made from this kind of situation are going to trash can. They are becoming a trash. Although not all the time I am successfully writing nice but I were able to write some.
It's been a hobby to me since my high school days. I don't really know why I really love to write my own song, maybe it's because music is my first love ever since.

If you plan to write song and make it as a career, you have to start it little by little. You will be needing this ebook to make it possible.

What do you use to record your song?

Do you go with an expensive software or you go with a free one? Do you go with the high tech gadget for recording or you go with a low tech ones? There's a lot of gadget nowadays that has something to do with making the audio or music recording process easier. Just like in some countries now, they are now making humanized robots to do the house hold chores for them instead of them doing all those tasks or they have to pay for a real human doing all of it but prone to a lot of mistakes. When the technology bloomed, it took an effect that to the human's behavior and intelligence. When humanized robots comes to reality they took the place of a real human doing it's tasks so the tendency is people will be dependent on what the robots will give them. Why am I taking this as an example? Because this is very related with the topic. This topic has something to do with technology.
A decade or two ago, all of the recording process were hassle. I mean, you have to have all the necessary huge equipments to make a high quality recording. But to be honest, the recording within the era of modern technology is far better than the recording process of the past. High quality recording in the past is just like a garage recording nowadays. Let's take a look and see the difference.

This is a high quality recording some dacades ago:



This is a garage or amateure recording nowadays:



See the the difference? I'm not pointing out the song quality I'm pointing out the "recording quality" of each song which were recorded in different era. The first vodeo were recorded a long time ago using a high tech recording materials during that time and the second video was recorded with just a pc and a microphone because it is just an amateur recording. Now, if you would be asked, which one do you prefer?
Just to share mine, I use this free recording software which I got from the internet. It contains all the necessary stuff for editing and enhancing the song quality. It is called Audacity. You can google search it, just type audacity on the search textbox on google.com homepage. Or you may click here to get directly to the site where you can download the great recording software. Enjoy it's "free" but high quality features.

<---- you can also choose this one if you want to experience a high quality professional recording.

Anthony Green --- An Idol Material Song Writer

I just want to share this great video showing one of  Anthony Green's best hit songs. He is actually my Idol when it comes to singing and song writing because he got all that it takes to be a great one. He sings on a high pitched voice, so high that it sounds like it is already unreachable.

Here is the one that I'm talking about. The great song that I want to share with you. This may influence you on your way of writing in a nice way, just like what it did to me. Here it is... it is called "Baby Girl" that he sang on a television show "The Last Call With Carson Daly". You got to listen to this one... Check it out:

Did you like it? Did you find it the way I do? Well, there is one thing I am sure about this, This is just one of Anthony green's best hit songs....

Write short songs and make it a part of your own MASTER PIECE

There's a lot of things that you can actually start from a scratch mostly in arts. For example you want to make a rose from a piece of paper, a fan from a piece of leaf and anything that you can think of can be done easily from a scratch. Would you agree if I say you can also write or make a song from a scratch? What I mean is, you can actually write a song from a what ever you think of. You just have to write anything about what you want to write. For example you feel sad, write something from that feeling. And if you feel happy, write something about that feeling of yours and so on and so fort. Then, at the end of the day, put all your writing together to make a new song. It will be better if you choose on the parts of your writings. It's better off if you felt the a certain feeling until the day ends, that would give you a one topic song but what I am telling you is that even though you are just writing a little every time, you can put them together as one song just like what Greenday does. Do you know their song Jesus of suburbia? Just to give you an insight, it's actually consisted of their different songs they have written at different moments. If you already listened to it it goes with different beats and it has too many measurements and arrangements.

Listen to it first:





If you have noticed it has many changes in tempo and beat because this song is consisted of different piece of songs. This is not a review about a Greenday's song so I won't give much information regarding their song, I'm just trying to say that you can put every single or short song that you wrote all together to make a new song.

How to Start Writing a Song

I would like to greet my fellow musicians and song writers out there. Keep on writing great songs. Good luck.

I am you are finding a good answer to your question that has something to do with song writing that is why you got here to my blog. when I were like you a year ago, I also made a some research on the internet and other books about song writing, how to write song and etc. First and foremost I want to share you my experience when I am seeking some knowledge about song writing because really love to sing. In fact, I have a garage band and I we mostly play my own compositions, although we are not that published yet, we really do play good composition based on the comments of our few listeners. At first, when still don't know and I don't have any idea when and how am I going to start to write. I don't write musical notes but I read, just like the other song writers who are called guitar based song writers nowadays. That is the way how I write songs. I play a certain key stroke on my acoustic guitar and lyrics and tunes will automatically come out of my head. Before I had able to get into this point, I actually gone to a long and winding search for what is you are also looking for right now. Gladly I have found the answer and that is what I am going to share you to the down part of this post. For now, here is my experience on searching for the right way to write a song. I can tell that I already write a songs but it's still weak in my own opinion so I researched for the right way to do it so I consulted to the experts in this field. I used Google to find them because I believe it's the fastest tool for researching. I came to a good site that taught me some things about what I am looking for. All I have read on that site was already the things that I am doing when writing, it only added up some knowledge to me but it was a good help to me. After I going a lot of websites about this topic, I found out that they have the same teachings and all are falling to one way and they are telling that it was the most effective way to write songs. It is to write songs coming from your heart. You can do that thing only if you love what you are doing but you just want to impress someone or to get the attention of somebody and you are doing it for just that and you do it without love, you are just building your own waste. So if you find your has no love for writing song you better stop on searching at this point because you won't be able to do it since the love for it is the most essential part when you want to write song. I don't want to waste your time and effort just to get to the point that you'll just stop in spite of all the things that you hardly do. Now, if you find yourself interested and love to do this, well it's high time for you to start now.
Maybe your next question will be "do I need to learn to write music notes before I write song?" Don't lose hope if you don't know how to write music because it is not necessary to write your song with notes. Just like what I said, I don't write musical notes, I only read. So it goes without saying that it is possible to write song even though you don't know how to write music. To strengthen this thing that I'm conveying towards you, I want you to view this youtube video of the draft of my own song composition( click here to view my composition, this is originally written by me.) Don't forget to leave comment OK? hehe. Now, Moving on, the next question you will probably ask is "where can I get ideas to write song"? Well, the resources of ideas or the available topics for your song is just going around you. I mean, you can write from anything you can see around you. I guess you do hear songs about going to school, breaking up of lovers, making love and etc. Those are just a piece of a huge cake. You can write out of anything you see or you feel. Now you will probably ask "how will I start"? You can start by writing down what you actually see and eventually it will become a start lines or maybe just a part of you original song composition. Just keep on practicing until you master it.
Hope that this helped you a bit. Just don't forget to hit the subscribe button to hear from me through your email. Don't forget to say something by making a comment, I'll be glad to hear what you say about my post and also don't forget to follow this blog, I'll be glad to see who reads my posts... Thanks....

How to Write a Song for a Crush

Writing a song for a crush is not a hard thing to do.
 
I am a song writer. I write songs from my heart and from my experiences. It's never a hard task to write a song for me, the hard thing to make is to write a great song that no one will resist. That's the hardest part I know when writing song as a song writer, when you ought to write for a certain topic and yet you are not on the right mood to do it. But as a sum, it's quite easy because whenever you think of something or there is something that had happened in your personal life or to others, it can already be an inspiration or a topic for a potential good material of yours.
For me, It's easy to write songs especially when it comes from the bottom of your heart or somewhere out of your wildest experiences in life. What I mean is that, song writing can be a diary if you are like me who always want to write whenever I found an opportunity to do it. I only have to have an inspiration or something that would make me want to write. Sometimes I tried to write when nothings running on my head and believe me, I did some but it's kinda horrible. As I said it's easy to write a song but it's hard to make a great one.
Now let's get into the bottom line of this topic "how to write a song for a crush". Well, it's the easiest way to write a song. When you feel something differently good towards someone of your opposite sex. I guess you can relate to what I mean to say because almost everyone had already had this kind of feeling towards somebody. Now what I want to convey to you is that you can easily right song when you have the most effective inspiration. When you have an apple of the eye, your angle or how ever you may call him/her. If you can reminisce deeply how you feel towards him/her, that feeling can actually begot a quality song, a quality good love song.
To give you an example, here is a "draft" of my love song which I wrote way back from my high school days somewhere 5 years ago. I wrote this for my girlfriend. It's quite slow but I believe this is good. Here it is check it out. just make sure you comment on it OK?:-)
