Search Results - Songwriter

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A songwriter is someone who writes the lyrics, as well as the musical composition or melody to songs. One who writes only lyrics is a lyricist, while one who writes only music is a composer.

Songers may perform the songs they write themselves, or they may write for somebody else to perform. Being a songwriter requires a lot of time, patience and discipline. In my experience in songwriting I found it easier to be in a quiet place sitting by a window gazing upon the sky, grass, and birds. These things help enable me to think deep inside myself to be able to write things from my heart that make sense. Sometimes I write from my personal experiences with life, such as relationships, friendships, death, love, and emotions. People are prone to listen and relate to things that attract their attention. People who sing their own songs are nowadays typically called singer-songwriters, although the tradition of doing this dates back hundreds of years. Less recently, the troubadours of the Middle Ages sang their own works, as did the German Minnesingers. In the contemporary era, the songwriting competition (ex. International Songwriting Competition) has become a valuable venue for aspiring songwriters.

Most art songwriting is written for somebody other than the composer to perform, although it is known that Franz Schubert often sang his own songs at private parties. In fact most popular songwriters of today enjoy having their work recorded by a variety of artists and hearing different renditions.

Many modern rock and roll bands have one or two songwriters, usually members of the band.

7. Putting the Cart Before the Horse: When is Your Music Ready for Public Consumption?
October 05, 2009

I may very well receive some hate mail from this article, so be forewarned that it's full of advice that some aspiring artists may not want to hear (but need to). Recently I met an aspiring artist (I'm not in the business of disparaging people, so no disclosure here). I have to say that he was quick to mention he was an artist and songwriter, and virtually every conversation revolved around his music and the life circumstances that inspired him to write. I spent 9 years living in Nashville, so I'm pre-programmed to be a little skeptical. Everyone in Nashville is an artist, song... (read more)

8. Indie Bands and the New Music Model
October 02, 2009

So I'm an indie musician and a pretty good one at that. I started playing bass professionally in college with indie groups, doing recording sessions, cover bands and jazz gigs; but grew tired of playing behind people so I began the tedious process of identifying my own sound as a songwriter and vocalist. Harder than I thought it would be. You see, I had always second-guessed the indie artists that I was playing behind thinking that I could do much better. Many had a very low musical IQ has far as instrumentation was concerned and I de-valued the art of writing quality lyrics, having ... (read more)
