New Ideas When Stalled

 - DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com  

How do you get NEW ideas when your creativity feels Stalled in songwriting?... 
Try learning a different instrument EVEN if you don't plan to record with it. 
 
WHY IT WORKS > 
You learn to LISTEN better to songs, to HEAR the background. Then to write your OWN new ideas for background movement as well as the Melody of your song.
 
My evidence that enabled FAR more creativity in songwriting. >> We whose first instrument was a piano, learned to play whatever music notes in front of us. But at CREATION Northeast music festivals 2000 I started listening to bass players do what I now know are "walkdowns" to add depth (pun intended) & CREATIVE adds to even old hymns.
 
  "More Love More Power" played by various groups was first song I strove to play with 5 or 6 strings (bass & guitar) and not 88. 
 
So now I strive to add walk-downs & walk-ups in many songs -- just for the FUN of it! ...
 
... all because I felt Stuck & Stalled in finding new ways to write music, so that not all my songs would sound alike.  
 
Experiment to see what works for YOU when you feel stalled.  Don't give up!   -- DianaDee  ....

Much joy to you in growing your music! - DdO:)
