10 Tips: How To Finish Songs!

Finishing songs can sometimes feel challenging, but here are some strategies to help you wrap things up:

  1. Set a Deadline: Give yourself a specific date to finish the song. This can motivate you to make decisions and avoid overthinking.

  2. Identify the Core Message: Revisit the main idea or emotion of your song. Ensure the final sections reinforce this theme.

  3. Simplify: If you’re stuck, consider simplifying your arrangement or lyrics. Sometimes less is more.

  4. Change Perspectives: Try writing from a different point of view or angle. This can give you fresh ideas to complete your song.

  5. Use a Formula: Familiarize yourself with common song structures (like verse-chorus-verse) to guide your writing and ensure it flows well.

  6. Collaborate: Sometimes, getting another pair of ears or a different perspective can spark new ideas.

  7. Write the Ending First: If you’re really struggling, try writing the final lines or chorus. This can give you a sense of direction for the rest of the song.

  8. Record a Demo: Lay down a rough version of the song. Hearing it back can help you identify what works and what needs tweaking.

  9. Take Breaks: Stepping away for a bit can give you clarity when you return.

  10. Trust Your Instincts: Sometimes you just need to make a call on whether something feels right or not. Trust your gut!

Remember, finishing a song is just as important as starting one. Keep experimenting until you find what works for you!
