Have you ever written a song? If your answer is «yes», you will have more experience in this question. After reading this article you find something interesting for you. If your answer is «no», why not to try it right now?
Let’s see what you should know to write a song! Step by step:
1. It gets started with a title. But you never know when a title will hit you. You can find it everywhere.
