1 Embrace Routine

Establishing a daily routine for songwriting can seem counterintuitive when talking about creativity, which often feels like a spontaneous burst of inspiration. However, routine creates discipline, and discipline can set the stage for creativity to flourish. By setting aside dedicated time each day for songwriting, you condition your mind to focus on creating music regularly. This doesn't mean forcing creativity but rather providing the space for it to emerge naturally. You might be surprised how often inspiration strikes when you're sitting down with the intention to write.

I remember seeing once a channel whose main gimmick was releasing a song each day. At first, I thought that was a bit extreme. How can you release quality music every single day? Then I realized those were songwriting exercises. This artist was honing their craft as part of a routine. And since they had an audience, they felt accountable for maintaining that habit. Routine is necessary for any artist, since it forces you to create.

2 Seek Inspiration

Songwriting inspiration can come from a myriad of sources, and actively seeking it out can significantly boost your creative output. Listen to a wide range of music, read books, watch films, or take a walk in nature. Exposing yourself to different art forms and experiences can spark new ideas and perspectives that you can translate into your music. Remember, inspiration doesn't always have to come from monumental or life-changing events; sometimes, the most profound songs are born from the simplicity of everyday life.

Listening to a wide range of music regularly is a great routine to develop. This way, you can become aware of new trends or be impressed by a particular sound, instrument, rhythmic pattern, or chord progression, which can spark your inspiration. When it comes to lyrics, most songs have a story to tell, so watching the news, a movie, or reading a good book can provide a strong foundation for great lyrics.

3 Collaborate Often

Collaboration is a powerful tool for nurturing creativity in songwriting. Working with other musicians not only brings new ideas to the table but also allows you to learn from their experiences and techniques. Whether it's co-writing a song, jamming, or just discussing concepts, interacting with fellow creatives can open up new avenues of thought and help you break out of your usual patterns. Embrace the synergy of collaboration and watch your songwriting grow in depth and complexity.

4 Experiment Freely

Creativity thrives on experimentation, so don't be afraid to try new things in your songwriting process. Whether it's playing with unconventional song structures, exploring different musical genres, or using unique instruments, pushing the boundaries of your comfort zone can lead to innovative and exciting results. Remember that not every experiment will be successful, but each attempt is a learning experience that contributes to your growth as a songwriter.

5 Reflect Deeply

Reflection is a vital part of the creative process in songwriting. Take time to reflect on your life experiences, emotions, and thoughts. Use this introspection to infuse your songs with authenticity and depth. Personal reflection can help you connect with your audience on a deeper level, as listeners often gravitate towards music that resonates with their own experiences. Whether it's through journaling or meditation, find a reflective practice that works for you and let it guide your songwriting.

6 Break Barriers

Finally, to nurture creativity in songwriting, you must be willing to break through mental barriers. This means challenging self-doubt, overcoming fear of failure, and pushing past writer's block. Remember that every songwriter faces these challenges at some point. By confronting them head-on and continuing to write through the tough times, you build resilience and open up space for creative breakthroughs. Trust in your abilities and allow yourself the freedom to create without judgment.

A great writer once told me. " You can't write, if you have nothing to write about, and you can't enjoy life if you don't live" I was young and really had no clue what he was talking about, and so I continued to write out of theory, and not experience. Writing didn't become my own until I began to live outside of " trying to make it". I was so preoccupied with the end goal, that I wasn't even experiencing the journey. I finally understood what my mentor was trying to tell me. Music is an expression of life, and you can't express life, if you haven't lived

Don't be afraid to seize the moment. I was once on a ship, and a young girl next to me shouted something as she watched the ship sail. It struck a chord with me and eventually became a song. Great songs can emerge from a particular moment. Remember, "Give peace a chance" was written spontaneously.
