Q: How do I write better songs? I listen to songs I like and wonder how do I write something like that ?
A: this may sound strange, but sometimes it can be a good trick to write stuff that is totally different, as different from that as possible, and then once you get that out of your system then eventually you will start writing what you wanted to write all along. Maybe you won't have to go through all that, but that is largely what i've had to do
