83. Four Ways to Start Your Song

Dear Songwriter,

Do you ever find yourself trapped in the same songwriting patterns, unable to break free from familiar melodies and chords? In this episode, I'm diving into the art of starting your songs differently. Join us as we explore four distinct ways to kick off your next musical masterpiece:

1. Verse with Stripped-Down Production

• Learn how a minimalistic approach in the opening verse can set the mood and captivate your listeners.

2. Chorus with Stripped-Down Production

• Discover the power of a chorus-driven introduction and its ability to hook your audience from the get-go.

3. Clear Instrumental Hook that Resurfaces

• Craft a memorable instrumental hook that reappears throughout your song, leaving a lasting impression.

4. A cappella Vocals

• Bring in a vocal a cappella section right from the start to develop a catchy melody before the main song starts.

Plus, I'll share real-life examples of these creative song beginnings, allowing you to listen and dissect the techniques used by successful songwriters.

Let's break free from the ordinary and start your next song in an unforgettable way!
