Along with singing, songwriting is something that I hold
very close to my heart. It allows me to express anything and everything at any
time, but at times, I don’t know how communicate what I am feeling or how to
use a very impactful moment as inspiration for my songwriting. So, with that
being said, I decided to get some helpful insight from dummies.com which led me
to this book, Songwriting for Dummies. This book gives me a look on all aspects
of songwriting, including how to capture that moment of inspiration.
As a songwriter, I’m always looking for anything that could
help me get some lyrics on to a piece of paper. Whether a coffee shop, watching
a movie, or even doing household chores. “Try to carry with you, at all times,
a notebook to jot down ideas and a digital recorder to capture your musical
phrases” (Peterik 496). As I read this, I realized that if I did this, I would
never lose that moment of creativity. This is a picture of a song that I wrote
after I woke up from a dream. Let me know if you have any ideas on how to save that perfect moment of creativity.
