WHY MOST SONGWRITERS HAVE NO LUCK WITH THEIR MUSIC AND WHAT YOU CAN DO
ABOUT IT
As a Songwriter, It's Important to Know There Are Methods You Can Use
in Your Songs to Get People to Want to Hear Your Music We'll Talk
About Those Methods Here
FROM: Anthony Ceseri
RE: Writing Songs Your Listeners Will Be Excited About
DEAR SONGWRITING FRIEND,
HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANY OF THESE THINGS HAPPEN WITH YOUR MUSIC?
* You wrote a song you felt was really strong, but it just didn’t
get the response you hoped for. You were thinking it would be _the_
song to propel you to greatness, but it never happened.
* You had a song that people told you they loved, but still no one
actually bought it or told their friends about it.
* You submitted a song to a radio station or for placement in a tv
show or film, but never heard back from anyone, leaving you to
believe your song wasn't up to their standards.
* You posted your song to a social media site, thinking you’d get
a ton of great feedback, but hardly anyone commented on it at all. And
if someone did, it was one of your friends.
* Or maybe you've written a great song that had some success, but
you haven’t been able to recreate that experience for yourself. (By
the way, if that’s the case, you probably lucked into what works
without understanding what it was. That’s why you weren't able to
make it happen again.)
IF YOU'VE EXPERIENCED ANY OF THESE SCENARIOS YOU JUST MAY NEED TO
KNOW THE SPECIFIC ELEMENTS THAT MOST SUCCESSFUL SONGS HAVE IN COMMON.
After all, those elements are what's making them appealing to
listeners. Writing something that’s “cool” is one thing, but to
have it be something desired by a lot of people is a something
entirely different.
THE GREAT PART IS YOU CAN INCORPORATE THESE ELEMENTS INTO YOUR MUSIC
WITHOUT COMPROMISING YOURSELF AS AN ARTIST. You might
be afraid that if you learn or apply certain techniques to your
music, your songs will be too cookie cutter. You don't have to worry
about that. There are plenty of approaches you can use that will make
your music better, without forcing it into a sound you’re not
interested in. You’ll keep all your creativity, without becoming a
“cookie cutter” artist. It’ll just make your songs more
desirable to hear. By taking certain approaches to songwriting, you
can greatly increase the chance of your listener wanting to own it.
Do You Want to Be an Innovator?I used to think I was the greatest
songwriter around. The truth was I was far from it, because I hadn’t
learned any of the concepts that can make a song great.
I wanted to be an innovator and do whatever I wanted, but I
didn’t realize that BEFORE YOU INNOVATE YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE METHODS
THAT HAVE WORKED AGAIN AND AGAIN. _THEN_ YOU CAN STRAY FROM THEM. If
you just do whatever you what, whenever you want, without learning,
it’s a recipe for a song that’s just messy. Believe me, I learned
that the hard way. I once had a song that went from rock, to funk, to
jazz all in the same song! I thought it was great because it was
original, but needless to say my listeners had no idea where I was
taking them with that kind of music. I was trying to innovate before I
knew anything about what makes a song successful.
THEN I REALIZED THAT ONCE YOU KNOW THE IDEAS THAT GO INTO A
SUCCESSFUL SONG, YOU CAN USE THEM TO MAKE YOUR SONG GREAT, OR YOU CAN
CREATIVELY STRAY FROM THOSE SAME IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR SONG INNOVATIVE.
Either way, you win. But you have to know what those concepts are
first.
Once I realized my songs weren't working, I decided to build a
solid songwriting education for myself and make it my mission to know
what makes songs listeners want to hear. I read books, and went to
seminars and workshops given by the best and most accomplished
songwriting teachers around. I learned all the best tips, tricks and
techniques there are. Some of what I learned worked and some didn't.
But the stuff that worked, worked incredibly well.
As I started to learn more and more about songwriting, I developed
the ability to see what made successful songs work so well, while
other songs didn't It became almost instantaneous when I listened
to a new song.
Apply The Best Ideas to Your MusicOnce I realized I could see songs
in this way, I realized I'd have to put these ideas into a book to be
able to give other songwriters the ability to clearly see what can
make their song work, while sparing them information that doesn't
work. Not to mention saving them time too.
And that's what I've done. I TOOK ALL THE BEST INFORMATION ON MELODY
WRITING, LYRIC WRITING, CHORD PROGRESSIONS AND EVEN COMING UP WITH
SONG IDEAS AND PUT IT INTO MY NEW EBOOK CALLED _HOW TO WRITE SONGS
THAT SELL_.
THIS BOOK WILL TEACH YOU TWO METHODS FOR WRITING A SONG FROM START TO
FINISH. The first method is called THE FIND INSPIRATION METHOD, where
you’ll learn how to specifically draw inspiration and get ideas from
other songs, and turn them into ideas that are completely your own.
You’ll be able to dismember a current song, examine the parts,
change them and then put them back together to create a whole new song
of your own. You’ll never understand an existing song (or your own
song) so well as when you take this approach.
The second method you’ll learn is THE DO IT YOURSELF METHOD, where
you won’t be relying on other songs at all. It’ll show you how
to create songs people want to hear completely from your own
brain.
If you decide to combine parts of these two methods together,
you’ll see great results. GREAT ARTISTS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO OTHER
ARTISTS FOR IDEAS, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME INNOVATING FROM THEIR OWN
MINDS. If you combine the two methods, you have a great opportunity to
do that yourself.
And you'll learn both the Find Inspiration Method and the Do It
Yourself Method for _each_ major component of your song: melodies,
lyrics, chord progressions and even your song's overall idea.
In the Melody Section, I'll Reveal to You:
* What the 2 components of a melody are, and how changing anything
aside from those two components won't affect your melody at all. (page
62)
* How to reference proven successful melodies to give people a
familiar sound that’s already great, while at the same time making
the melody completely your own. (page 63)
* How to easily create a catchy piece of melody in your song and how
to use it to keep your melody both interesting and memorable to your
listeners. This will keep it in their heads, so they’ll want to hear
your song more often. (page 65)
* How to change the rhythm of a melody to give it a completely
different sound. (page 69)
* How to change the notes in a melody (while keeping its rhythm) to
come up with a fresh idea. (page 70)
* A simple way to use the notes in your chords to come up with a
melody. (page 72)
* How to use the notes of a scale to write a melody, so you won't
have to rely on simply coming up with something off the top of your
head anymore. (page 72)
* How to organize your notes to come up with a singable melody your
fans will love. (page 81)
* How to create a powerful contrast in your melodies as your song
travels from your verse to your chorus, in a way that will keep your
listener excited each time they hear a new part of your song. (page
83)
* How to be consistently writing melodies as you go about your daily
activities. (page 85)
* How to strategically separate your melody from your lyrics to come
up with a marketable sound. (page 85)
* How to make your listeners want to hear your melody again and
again. (page 87)
* I'll also give you a "cheat sheet" for all the notes you can use
in your melodies for _any_ key your song is in, making it super easy
to come up with a melody over any chord progression. (part 2 of your
bonus book)
In the Lyrics Section, You'll Discover:
* Why using specificity in your lyrics can be a powerful way to get
your listeners intrigued with your story. (page 92)

your song's title) so they stand out to your listeners. (page 102)
* How to write your lyrics to a rhythm, so you don’t end up with
wordy, awkward sounding lyrics and melodies that will bore your
listeners. (page 105)
* How to write lyrics to music in a way that gives your words the
biggest impact. (page 107)
* How to use the length of each phrase in your song as an important
tool in your lyric writing to highlight what your lyrics mean. (page
111)
* How to align your lyrics with your melody to create a song that
easily resonates with your listeners. (page 115)
* What the the different types of rhymes are and the best time to
use each one for an impactful listening experience. (page 121)

lyrics. You'll also see how to use one. (page 124)

to positively impact your lyrics. (page 127)

create a whole new meaning no one’s ever heard before. (page 133)

first line to your last chord. (page 136)

time making it entirely your own. (page 35)

* How to modify the chords of an existing song to compose a great
cover song in your own style. (page 45)
* How to change a song from major to minor to drastically alter its
mood, to match your song's main idea. (page 49)
* What the most commonly used chord progressions are, so you can
either use them for a familiar sound, or stay away from them when
you're innovating. (page 54)
* What the most common songs structures so you can use them to
structure your song with a familiar sound, or stay away from them if
you want to be more creative. (page 56)
* How to contrast your chords from section to section to create an
enjoyable listening experience for your fans. (page 59)

with chords for a song, or to transpose a song to other keys. (part 1
