It’s EXHILARATING to finish a song that represents a time in your life where you were looking for a resolution!
There’s no better feeling than tying a beautiful bow on an emotional experience.
There are two reasons for that…
It makes the journey feel complete which gives a sense of calm and closure.
It allows you to help others find the resolution quicker, making your suffering not in vain.
It’s a rare thing in life to have one’s experiences neatly wrapped up.
Perhaps art is the only thing able to do that.
What’s so special about music is that it speaks not only to our conscious mind but also to our bodies and subconscious.
When we combine the two, the result is so powerful and therapeutic.
Often when writing a song, the words will suggest a melody. Then, when I run out of words, that melody will suggest more words. It’s a beautiful dance and at its best it feels like the song is writing itself.
I know the song is complete when it feels like it doesn’t need to go anywhere else. It went wherever it needed to go. And then you feel the ultimate relief. You’ve completed the experience within yourself.
And now you can share that shimmering example of emotional processing and the resulting relief in an enjoyable way for others which will ultimately ease and heal hearts.
My favorite example of this is my Heartbreak song, which I will break down for you all next week as an example structure you can follow when trying to resolve your own stuff in this way.
Spending time trying to resolve your emotions through songwriting is something that I highly recommend. Be open to surprising yourself.
