How do you write a song?

Ask questions and get answers about how to make music in any particular way. Hardware or songwriting or whatever.

I'm listening to net radio, and the thought occurs to me that the best way to write a song that people will like is to figure out how to make songs that sound like songs people like. I mean, if you're looking for positive feedback from a broad audience, derivation is the way to go.

Learn how to play some Beatles tunes and some Franz Ferdinand tunes. It helps if you're cute and a good singer. If you're not cute and a good singer, you should probably just go ahead and prepare yourself for a life of artistic frustration.
