How to write a song.

_{_{Please don't follow these steps if you EVER want to complete a song. Please.}}

Step 1

Write a song.

Step 2

Find every findable mistake possible.

Step 3

Hate yourself.

Step 4

Focus your mind on fixing the mistakes previously found. It’s not that hard, you can do it.

Step 5

Get on it.

Step 6

Realize that you actually can’t do it, that you are terrible at fixing things and that now it’s way worse than before.

Step 7

Hate yourself x2

Step 8

Give up, for now.

Step 9

Open the box where you are saving the songs to fix later.

Step 10

Behold the cemetery of songs.

Step 11

Hate yourself even more.

Step 12

Go to sleep.

Step 13

Dream about some solutions.

Step 14

Wake up.

Repeat steps 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 for (you know) ever.

Or just meh… on it, and play it like it is until it magically fixes itself.

Like I’m doing with this one:

Check for the subtitles if you want to read the lyrics.

Step 11

You don't have to hate yourself.

I don't really write songs (not in any permanent way anyway), but I find myself following a very similar creative process to yours whenever I write anything... poetry, prose, even code.

I really love this song @kex, it's beautiful. Please don't ever hesitate to share any of your music with us here, finished or not. You have a real talent.
