For still others, words and melody occur to them at the same time. No matter what process you are fortable with, you eventually have to decide what the song is about. There is a variety of different types of songs ranging from songs that tell fictional stories to songs that municate deep personal feelings. A story song: If you decide to write a story song, a good start is to write about a news story or something you’ve read in the newspaper. However, if you already have a story in your mind, you can write it out in poem form with appropriate rhymes and structures that help transform the story into a song.4) Personal songs: Music is very expressive and songwriters use the media to express their feelings, whether it’s about a person, a situation or even an important place. Songs can be highly personal, so each person creates differently. When you have a strong feeling about something, write it down in a notebook and e back to it later. You might e up with a good line that expresses an emotion really well, and if you remember it you might be able to build an entire song around it. A peaceful environment is always favorable to songwriting.Music posing: Composing the music for a song can be done in many different ways depending on your musical prowess and your focus. Often times, songwriters will construct whole pieces, melody and all, without even knowing what the song is going to be about. Once the melody is plete, the poser will sit down and think about the lyrics that are consistent with the feeling behind the music and will go from there.

Music is everywhere. We can hear it in restaurants, airports, railway stations, supermarkets, department stores, banks, hospitals, and many other public places. Music of all kinds is now available, and tapes and CDs are not very expensive. Music plays an important role in our everyday lives. Music can express emotions that are beyond speech and give us a better feeling about ourselves and about everything around us. It can change our attitudes toward many things. When we feel sad, music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life which can cheer us up。 when we are tired and bored, music can make us relaxed. It has charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. When we are working or studying, music can provide us with a pleasant environment so that we can work or study more efficiently. Music can make people work faster and with more energy. The best, most beautiful, and most perfect way that we have of expressing a sweet concord of mind to each other is by music. Music can also lull babies to sleep and can even make cows produce more milk. In a word, music is irresistible and life without music would be boring and monotonous. (215 words)14
