How do you start off a song?

[Rain]

Well now I don't really have a lot of experience but I write songs for fun so when I do, it sometimes depends on the music, you know if I am playing with my guitar random stuff and smth sounds good...then I think of something I wanna say like stuff that you personally have noticed or experienced or seen in a movie, that would work too. Also if it helps you you can create a little story in your song for example the classic one a love story or death story or anything else . You can also write with a political style if you have a strong political view or you are good at this stuff and they interest you. Social matters are also good topics for a song. I guess you will have to find your own style, you have to see what you want to write about so that you can pass emotions, if you throw mainstream words in a song that means nothing it will be boring and certainly not satisfying or anyhow good. I personally sometimes sing random stuff without any music just when I am in my room studying or just hangin out and sometimes I just sing melodies which can be used in songs and sometimes some good lyrics come to me so I write them down. I think that the key is generally to rely on your emotions.

P.S If anything comes to you at any time even if it is in your sleep you should write it down somewhere immediately so that you won't forget it.

That all
