This is great. Really well written. But, Cody, how do you make that song a hit after it's written? Seriously... where do you send it? I'd love a how-to article about that :)

Very good ideas!

Great tips. 5*

This was really good! I agree that a place yesterday that worked for you doesn't mean it'll work for you today. 5*

I might try this.

This is good, I have written a few and now am learning guitar. It does flow out of the "hook" you talked about :) 5*

Great topic, maybe I'll try and write a song for the American Idol Songwriters Contest! :P

Great topic! It was wonderfully written and very informative :)

If you're writing a song to get a hit then you've missed the point. I suppose if you don't care much for the music and just want to be rich then that may be the path you want to take, but considering material possesion will never bring you contentment i would say that it would be much more satisfying to write from the heart and make the music interesting and experimental. The music industry is so driven by money that popular music has lost its magic.

Very interesting concept you have to make the thoughts and feelings of today into the songs and personal reflections of tomorrow ! Thanks for sharing.
