These three songwriting exercises are designed to get you into the flow of writing without thinking.
1.Write down every song title that comes to mind without censoring yourself.
Work fast. Spit out titles. No judgement. Go wherever your thoughts take you. Note: These are your own original titles, not pre-existing song titles!
2.Choose one of your titles to play word association.
Write down every word or phrase that relates to your title. Don’t think! Just work as quickly as possible. This will free up your subconscious.
3.Choose a word in your title and play poor man’s rhyming dictionary.
Write down as many rhymes as you can.
