holy crap, serious confidence builder, tyvm for posting this video. I’ve had writers block for a very long time because of the “idiot brigade”. I know i need to trust myself and now i’ll fly with that message and finally start really writing again.
Actual pop music? Melody: Just hit C over and over again for the verses, in the chorus, you can be adventurous and add a D or an A! Chords: Play a simple, cliché, overused 2 bar chord progression over and over again. Pay your way to fame.
He had a very very good point. If only person likes my music, then my job is done. The most important one person is me! Enjoy what you do, someone else will too. Thats a fact. Be yourself, it is originality. Trying to copy people, well isn’t that whats wrong with this world in the first place???
This is great info. Thanks for sharing. I have a ton of videos about music licensing and how to get music in tv and films. Check out my channel if you’re interested.
Thanks for this! This was a good video. Especially the part about the Idiot Brigade. I’ve already written quite a few songs for myself (but unfortunately, I’ve only had the resources to record and upload a few thus far), but I still found this helpful. It’s a good reminder that I need to stop listening to other peoples’ suggestions so much and instead just do whatever I want to do. TL;DR: You = win. Thank you 🙂
