Hello!! family here is one of my blogs where I explain how to compose a song; how I have composed them for 4 years and it is a strategy that has worked very well for me. I hope you like it
First the Introduction to our chaotic interior:
To start this blog I would like to start by saying that I speak from my own experience and how
expressing my emotions through music has been my salvation in years of crisis.
"Music is a tool that, if used in the right way, allows you and opens up a world of possibilities." -ManuGo
It happens to us on many occasions that we feel full of things, full of feelings, confused and confused by things that we feel and do not understand; If it happens to me that I am human, I know that it happens to the rest of the population the same as it does to me and I don't know if it happens to them that when we are sad we put music of the same style and this allows us to "feel more deeply" or when We were bored and we put on animated songs that make us feel powerful something combined with an inexplicable energy, even when a song turns a moment into something more special whether you are with your partner, a person you love or even alone. Music is everywhere and it is something that in my opinion it is indispensable to the human, many times music makes us remember moments even people giving them a significant value and making those melodies continue to remind you of the moments lived in that time and what they were for you.
Focusing a little on the subject, I come to talk about how to achieve a catharsis through the composition of music, what do I mean? to be able to understand, organize and release our emotions through the construction or creation of a song.
How do we build a song and release our emotions?
Well I'm going to tell you how I have done it, usually there are emotions that I cannot express or they simply get stuck in my throat and chest making me not feel comfortable taking it out anywhere or with anyone.
The musical part of the song:
1 I take an instrument be it ukulele, guitar or piano and
I start to look for chords sometimes the uses that I know, which are not many, do not believe and I play them, if I do not search the internet for "chords of" and the instrument I have and I play them all and depending on the intention.
2 When I am sad I use the minor chords and when it is a happy song I use the high tones.
Generally with 4 chords it is enough for the construction of the melodic circle of the bone song of the music will be present in the whole song
After keeping all this in mind, the only thing left to do is combine 4 chords that sound more presentable to you, it really doesn't have much science.
The written part of the song:
3 To start the written part, simply take a moment to play your 4 chords with the instrument you find to familiarize yourself with the melody.
Define the rhythm, strum and time in which your song will go.
Finally, just start talking about how you feel but you do it singing and with the chord circle that you built.
my method is unorthodox, but that is the point of simply taking out what we have inside making it easier for us to make them with music.
So that your song rhymes you can use the structure of the rhymes that is not very difficult is to accommodate a few words and vowels so that it rhymes and you can try after to see what you feel exposed, arrange it grammatically as it sounds better with rhyme.

Recommendations:
Be very patient as it is likely that when you start you will not like what you hear but the expert is not done overnight.
Something that works for me so that I don't forget what I am singing, I will write it in a notebook so that it is also recorded and in it I write the chords of my song; This helps me a lot since I am very forgetful with chords and lyrics, it works for me to keep a record.
If this is not enough and you are determined to achieve it, search on YouTube how to do it and guide yourself from people who have already done it before or Google famous composers who have done it before.
Trust yourself and focus on bringing out the feelings that you keep within yourself, the trick is to let what you feel flow.
Little by little you will realize that what you feel and what you sing is merging and it sounds like a song, it is about simply trying. It is something that I develop from empiricism and that if someone else wishes they can try with this method what I want to convey in this blog is that it is possible to release what we feel by composing a song and exposing our emotions.
post data: tell me if you tried and how it went or if you have any questions here I am to help you in whatever or even if you want to listen to one of my songs composed with this method.
