As I don't consider myself at all musically talented, I was fairly certain writing my own song was going to be an impossible task. When looking for inspiration I stumbled across an article about writing without an instrument - as I don't play an instrument I found it quite useful.
"Let your mind wander, In order to really get in the songwriting mood, try thinking about something different. The potential of your brain when it’s free to imagine, wander and wonder is far greater than when it’s limited to your knowledge of the guitar, mandolin or whatever. Even if you’re a virtuoso.
So put down your guitar and just imagine something from your recent past. We all live stories everyday, but usually they just pass us by. Stop to think about something that’s happened in the past couple of days that made you feel something. Really think yourself back inside that situation – and then imagine the music that might be playing in the background.
If you really can’t think of anything, go somewhere. Take a stroll down the high street… go to the park. Who cares if it’s 10.30 at night, you’re an adult!" - Songwriting Ltd.. (2014)
