Where can i get my song ideas?

When any person, whether being a singer, guitarist or pianist decides to write a song; it is common to have exhausted all of your ideas. So you might be sitting there pulling your hair out in frustration because your struggling over how to start or new ideas. If so read-on and try my new technique.

Requirements:
-Pen
-Paper
-A Bit Of Spare Time
-Thought
-Patience
-Imagination

Option 1:
The first step sounds simple and it is. Try this when your family is out or when nobody can distract you. All you need to do is sit in the garden, on a park bench or even lie on a Field and relax. (be sure to bring your paper and pencil) I usually sit in my garden. Take a deep breath and try to notice things more. Using a pencil, jot down keywords or even short phrases to do with what you feel about your surroundings.

For example, pretend I'm in a large forest on a very windy day. I could jot down keywords like woodland, breeze, chill, goosebumps, leaves, birds. I could jot down short phrases like 'the breeze is running through my hair' or 'goosebumps trickling up my spine'.

After you have run out of ideas from your surroundings, head back into your own personal space and look to see what you have written down. These random keywords and phrases are what you call 'raw material' which means that you can make something out of them. In this case you would be making songs out of them.

Try and transpose some of your raw material to make unique sentences for you song, don't worry about the order of the sentences you make, just assure they make sense.

The big 'DON'T!':
Do not use the same words in your sentences unless on purpose or unless you intend to use them in the chorus of your song.
