before i write a great song, the only way i can actually is if i feel really inspired and excited! great song writing comes from what you feel really strongly about! most people feel really strong about their relationships, about their significant other, and most christian artists feel really strongly about God. The more powerful the lyrics, the more powerful the song. By hearing the song, the listeners will begin to feel the same way the writer felt when writing the song. so if the writer felt strong when writing the song, so will the listeners. if the writer felt "eh, this song aint too shabby" then the listeners will fell that too. the point to writing a great song is to have the most powerful emotion possible. what do you feel strongly about? pour your heart into the writing. help others to really feel it!!
