where do singers really get the inspiration for their songs?

they probably look at their personal experiences to see what has affected them greatly and then look at other people's music for ideas on that topic.

yes, but dont listen to other music for it. try to do somethin different. inspiration can come from anything, and as miraculousely as it shows up, it disappears. so i recommend carrying a little note pad a jottin down ideas. i wrote an entire cd in like 3 weeks just from doin tht.

There have always been performers who don't write their own songs the only difference now is we get to see the selection process (all be it done in a more showbiz way). The only effect it might be having is the same as any reality tv show in as much as some young people today want instant fame without any of the hard work and see these shows as their chance to go to the Ivy and live the lifestyle that really doesn't exsist. It very rarely works out for these people.\n\nI think there will always be room for real talent and it will always be recognised (whether you write your own stuff or just perform other people's songs). These programmes are just a flash in the pan in terms of how the music business operates. They're this generation's must see telly, that's all. Real talent will always survive.

They write the majority of them. \n\nThey also wrote Gretchen Wilson's "I'm Here For The Party".

an excellent way to learn anything is to study how a master does it.\n\nsince you say 'lyrics' i assume you mean things for singing.\n\nlook at placebo, the shins, the stereophonics (their stuff from a few years ago at least) ...\n\nand some of the older classics.

Hey if you sing really well, then why dont you participate in music competitions 'n all.... This way people might come to know about your talent.. If you are learning music you can tell your music teacher about your dreams 'n if he/she conducts concerts maybe they can take you along or if they know someone in the music industry they can give your reference.... Also do send your recorded voice to music channels.... as nowadays there are lotsa channels who are on the lookout for new talents... Do give it a try...... 'n I hope you do fulfill your dreams of becoming a singer.... Wish you all the best..

I think as long as one is artistic, even samples can be orchestrated into new and improved hybrids.  The thing with music is, everybody pretty much has used the same guitar riff or bass line or drum pattern at least once.  It's how you tweak it with your own original style that makes it different.  There's a lot of songs that rock that are based of of samples:\n\nBiggie's "Juicy"\nJay Z's "Hard Knock Life"\nMobb Deep's "Got it Twisted"\n                               just to name a couple\n\nCreativity is key.

You can get the song on iTunes, Yahoo! Music, Limewire or anything like that and the lyrics are on google. You type in song lyrics and click on a website and find the singer or band and then find the album and find the song and voila!

You have to re word your question, if I understand your question correctly making a huge guess, I would say you need talent (let others write your songs).

Be true to yourself. re-inventing ones self is something that happens in music videos.

Your best bet is to look for MIDI files.\n\nMidi is an interesting category, because it is generally free, as long as it is for private, non-comercial use.\n\nThis is because they are not samples,. but basically keyboard and synthesysized orchestrations of songs.  They fall under the "public playing" part of song copyrights.\n\nAnd because they are insturment only renditions of songs, there are no vocals involved.  I work part-time as a DJ, and I still use MIDI for that reason.  It is nice when I want to play something in the background to talk over, or as "bumper music".  That way, I am not trying to talk over the singers.  ANd I can stop them whenever I want, without worry of killing a song in the middle.

I've found through personal experience that my more intelligent friends tend to search beyond the top 40 or what is hot right now.  They tend to be a little more dedicated to finding a suitable song or artist that fits their style, instead of just listening to whatever everybody else thinks is cool.  I would love to see a study conducted on this theory sometime.

most of the talent you are born with. If you are ok, you can get a singing coach but those born with it might have a greater chance of being more vocally gifted.

If there's a COPYRIGHT (C) anywhere on the album.  \n\nWhen a talent writes and releases a song, their work is published by ASCAP or another publisher.  All major recordings are usually copyrighted and you will have to go through their publishing company to get permission to record them if you plan on distributing the songs for income.

I think you mean "How can singers easily compose a song?" That has to do with being very familiar with music and knowing what he/she wants to say. If you're asking what this question actually states, then I have no answer for you. You obviously aren't very familiar with English and this might be why you're having difficulty composing. If you don't mean composing but releasing a song, it's because of popularity and demand. You might want to make sure your meaning is clear before posting a question.

If I'm looking for songs about a partiular subject, I'll literally put the words, for instance, "songs about starting over" into a yahoo search engine and see what comes up...\nOr, you could look on a music store website or downloading service and run a search for songs with the words "starting over" in them...There are probably a lot out there...
