Listening?
There is quite an art to writing Hit worthy songs.
You need a lot of smarts to really understand all the components, and be able to weave them together to devise a Hit.
it’s all about the song. Specifically, the writing of the song. Undisputedly, the marketing and how it’s used/distributed, or how artists shape the song with their image, videos and branding, certainly play a factor in the song’s success.
BUT, if you don’t have a great song to start with, nothing else matters.
STEP 3 of my 10 Steps To Songwriting Success is:
==> DON'T BE AFRAID TO SEEK FEEDBACK

New video below, talking about Step 3
But how do you write a great song that can be licensed or cut? You also have to understand the music business and what they are looking for. There is a formula, a style and a knowing that you have to build in your songwriting craft toolbox.
“Do I have the ability to write a Hit Song?”
“If I write a great song, will I ever have the chance of it becoming a Hit?”
Have you asked yourself these two questions?
You’ve probably spent several years, (if not more), writing songs and wondering why nothing happens with them, or why you can’t make it sound ‘great’. Well, before I begin sharing my creative recipe or marketing strategies on actually getting your songs out there, understand that the biggest hurdle might be you.
This is what I call the ‘Psyche Killer’. Every time, and I mean literally every single time I work with a songwriter on their songs, they inevitably mention (whether under their breath or out loud), that they have some impediment or difficulty, or something is holding them back. It’s like a blocker is put in place to guarantee and avoid moving forward.
Here are some of statements I hear:
“I’m a newbie at writing, so I’m not sure what to do.”
“I am learning so not sure what is my best song or which ones are good.”
“I don’t know how to take my songs to the next level.”
“I don’t have enough time to write or focus.”
“I am not good enough to be a Hit songwriter.”
“Nobody in my family is a writer, so I don’t get much support.”
“It’s hard to think I can write a good song when I don’t have the resources.”
“Even if I have a good song, nobody will listen to them / I don’t know how to get it out there.”
“It’s a little intimidating to have to think about all the things you need to do to write a good song.”
“I have a lot of work/family responsibilities and just don’t find the time to write.”
“I write great songs. I don’t need to try to write for the commercial market.”
Have you said any of the above, or your modified version? Then you are experiencing an inner Psyche Killer.
Your mind is making excuses for you to not have to commit; Commitment to yourself to not only finding time to write, but to learn and understand how to write a really good song that HITS, and do the effort to get it heard.
That is why getting feedback early helps not only get a thick skin, and groom your songs, but heals thast inner critic - the psyche killer....
The ability to write the song is one thing. But it’s now time to give yourself permission to achieve success as a great songwriter. You have to feel WORTHY of this success. You have to know in your heart that you’ve got what it takes. Give yourself permission to focus on the time and understanding of writing that song, and give yourself permission to receive success for that song once out in the world. I’ll touch on ‘success’ in my Mastermind.... READ ON.
