@DEADGIRLMAGIC Yes, I suppose yodeling is what I'm doing! My initial inspiration was Dolly Parton, and the cute little flip she does with her voice in the song "Nine to Five".
@CTeom@KaylaPainter But! in the short term, things you could try to get out of the 16 bars you're in... shifting to another chord in the key you're in for a different mood. The mood shift might trigger new lyrics/melody. Or think of another element you'd like to bring into the song (continued...)
@CTeom@KaylaPainter As we detangle from the ol' music industry, I look to craftspeople for inspiration in how to work. Charles Burchfield inspired me through how he finished paintings in his 60s that he'd started as a teen. Give yourself time to develop your sonic language.
@CTeom@KaylaPainter Hi! Making a seasonal Twitter visit and happened to catch this. Not sure about the article, but yes, I think it's good for songwriters to remember that some ideas can stay in your 'ragbag' (something quilters use) until you're ready to use them.
