Paano Gumawa ng Kanta?

4. PAULIT ULIT NA SINUSULAT KO?

May times na madali naman para sayo gumawa ng kanta.

Minsan 15 minutes lang tapos na. Minsan naman it takes 1 hour. Minsan a month.

Nasa feeling kase yan like on the 1st chapter nito.

Hindi palagi may insipirasyon tayo at okay lang yun. I was 12 when I started writing songs. Hindi ako professional songwriter. Pero kakaobserve ko, I learned through the years.

I could think of what I would feel if I did that, or if I am not what I am.

What would I feel if I'm on a different perspective?

It is hard. May times na napipilitan ka gumawa kasi need mo na talaga. Or gusto mo may matapos.

Pero you need to pamper yourself as well.

You need a song??? Pamper yourself.

Go outside. Refresh your mind. Refresh your heart. Relax.

Mag gala ka, magpa manicure ka. Mag spa day ka. Yung mood natin iba iba. Ganon din sa songwriting. May mood.

Trip mo rebelde ang theme ng song? Why not?

Greenday has rebel songs.

Gusto mo ng modern serenade songs?

Ed Sheeran has it.

You want pop? Alternative? Rock?

All of us know Paramore, My Chemical Romance and even Panic at the Disco.

Give yourself some space.
Give yourself some learning sessions.

What kind of learning session??

Basahin mo lang yung lyrics. Without singing it. Without playing it.

Basahin mo like it's poem. Tas ifeel mo na parang ikaw ang nagsulat nun.

Don mo maaappreciate yung writer ng kanta. Don mo maiisip na PANO NIYA NAGAWA TO MYGHAWD! Charot, I mean I do that most of the time. Especially when I read Taylor Swift's lyrics.

Hindi sa boses nya kaya sya sumikat. For me, it's her lyrics. Kasi lahat ng singers out there can create catchy tunes, catchy music. Pero ang lyrics? Don nagkakaiba. Kung papano isinulat.

Idaan mo sa detalye. More detailed, mas tagos sa puso, more feelings, mas mafifeel ng makikinig.

I also try to read some lyrics of Lany, and since babae ako, I tried to think of what do guys think? Kase mostly sad mga kanta ng Lany. Kaya don ko naisip isa isahin yung kanta nila sa Malibu Nights album. Syempre spotify tayo dito mga besh. Kahit youtube will do. Di na tayo panahon ng abang abang sa radyo o bumili ng cassette tapes 😂

Masaya makinig ng mga kanta. But since mas naaappreciate ko mga acoustic type, I tried to read it first before I actually listen to the song.

FEELS!!!!! Dama ko yung sakit. Hindi dahil nakakarelate char! Hahahahaha. Pero kasi, ganon pala. Hindi lang naman babae ang nasasaktan lagi. Try natin all kinds of views. All genders!

Masaya mag explore. For me, you need to explore. Hindi stick to taylor lang ako dahil siya lang idol ko.

You need to be open to all kinds of songs na alam niyo. All singers or bands na kilala niyo.

That is what is next. To be like Dora. Explore lang ng explore. Basa lang ng basa. Damahin ng damahin.

May times kasi na tune ng song una naiisip bago lyrics. Minsan naman lyrics ang nauuna. It really depends. Mahalaga may phone ka always to take note of it. Or record the tune that comes up in your mind.

Minsan if you have more time. Try to just make a story. Parang author lang tayo ganern. Practice different kinds of point of view like what we learned in our English subject sa literature:

1. FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW.
The one who is saying "I" in the story.

Try to write something of being the narrator. The "bida" in the story

Well, most songs has this kind of point of view. Any popular songs that you know is in this kind of point of view.

2. SECOND PERSON POINT OF VIEW
Telling "you" in the story.

This may also be mixed with first person POV, however it also depends. Pwede naman kasi na kinekwento mo lang siya. Chismosa lang ganern char.

It's like telling him or her story or your story with someone.

3. THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
Telling "he" or "she" in the story

In this part, She wears short skirts I wear tshirt ganern.

You tell a story about someone. What you only see. Depende what 3rd person POV type. Kasi merong alam mo details ng lahat like POV ng girl at boy parang duet lang lol. Meron naman na ikekwento mo lang in general.

Ang lyrics may 1st 2nd and 3rd person POV minsan one or 2 lang na POV, pero mostly all of them are being used but it will challenge you if you can focus on one or two in one song.

You need to know sino ka don sa kanta.

Ikaw ba bida? O siya? O ikekwento mo lang ba lahat ng nakita mo at nadama nila like a narrator?

It will help you think outside the box in that case.

You have to make everyone feel it. It's like learning how to be detailed. Explain mo ano nakita mo. Explain mo pano niya naramdaman yun. Explain mo bakit siya umalis, bakit bumalik. Ano yung nakikita niya sa paligid. Malamig ba yung hangin?

Nakakatulong yung maliliit na bagay. Yung pagkakaroon ng additional description sa lyrics ikagaganda ng kanta yon.
