In this video, indie-pop songwriter and lyricist salem ilese @salemilese gives some words of songwriting advice - making a good song is like building a house. You need a good foundation (songwriting), beautiful furniture (production) and then your song will shine. If your electronic track can be played as a beautiful cover you know your foundation is solid. Don't let the minute details stop you from creating. If you have good wallpaper, it doesn't mean the house is sturdy. Let the melody, lyrics. and chord structure lead the way and fill in all the details later!
