How do people write songs with chills? A friend of mine will just sit down and write a song that is spine chilling. It's odd cause his range is just about two octaves and he's a nasally tenor, but what he's doing is working.
It makes me a bit jealous, but he'll just sit down and pump out a song out of nowhere.
How do? How does someone get great song writing skills?
Have talent and/or learn music theory

I got music theory, and improvising and throwing chord progressions together works pretty well. But for the most part it seems effortless. He even wrote a two chord song just using an augmented C and an augmented A chord and it is almost universally enjoyed when we play live.
What I'm more curious is about capturing a spark. I am always practicing and getting better, I just want to know how people put that spark/sound that makes people have chills into music.
Thinking of buying this book, and the article itself is quite interesting even if you have to filter out a lot of pseudo deep rubbish

Hope you like it m8, my songwriting has definitely improved after reading this and keeping a diary, it's still shit but it's a little more tolerable

I just wish I could get to the level my friend is at. Or just within the same spectrum. He's writing non stop and when they stick, they sound like a classic. I want that.

do you mind posting one of his songs? you got me curious desu
>>60185844
He has a soundcloud, I'll text him and when he replies I can post it. I just don't remember its name.

I truly believe that some people were just born better at creativity than others, it's usually at a trade off though, so embrace what you do have and accept the fact that you'll always be a shit artist
