  • Hi friends!
    Welcome to my second RUclips Vlog, "Top 9 Tips For Writing A Country" Song". If you're a songwriter looking for some reminders & tips or maybe you're looking for tips to start your songwriting journey, here is a video from me to you with my fave tips. I hope it helps you in some way!! If this is your first time here, I'm a country recording artist & singer/songwriter and have a new song coming out May 29th called "Free"! Being stuck in self-isolation during this pandemic and not being able to be on the road playing shows, I thought the best way would to connect would be on here. It's a time where I think most of us feel like we want to be free again and I believe that any form on connection is so important right now. Please let me know in the comments below if there's specific topics you'd like me to cover in my channel and stay tuned because I'm releasing new videos on new topics every Thursday at 11AM (est)

    This is seriously the most informative and helpful video on songwriting I have yet found. You're easy to understand and you keep it simple for ignoramuses like me. Thanks so much for posting this. I am writing my first country song, at the age of 55, and had no idea how to go forward. I'm okay at writing the lyrics, but as I'm not a professional musician, I'm struggling with writing the music. Thanks again. This video gives me hope!

    Just came back to this after all these months. I wrote a song using these tips and I'm so proud of how it is turning out. Still needs some polishing, but I will soon be finished. Hardest thing is finding the courage to trust my instincts, and on top of that, finding the cajones necessary to actually record the thing. Elyse, thanks so much for all of your encouragement. There's still a lot of hurdles to overcome, but it has become "doable" because of this video.

    • @jaysonwallker1648

      There's part of the problem, you need to write in a language that is more common and more used around the world. Since English is so common in the Philippines I would recommend that language. But, if you're fluent in a language like Spanish or French, those have good markets too. Yes, I'm a BMI songwriter.

    Hi, how are you? Happy New
    Year. I'm back with a few questions.
    I recently wrote out a full song,
    without a melody.Can I register a song, without a melody to ASCAP/BMI?
    Also.. Can I sell a song, without a melody? And.. finally how do I even begin,
    to try sell a song?

    • @ElyseSaunders
      @ElyseSaunders  Год назад +1

      Hi Yolanda! Happy New Year!! Good to hear from you. Yes you can! Happy writing :) I would suggest you find someone who writes melody’s within in reach of your songwriting community friends and then treat it like a co-write. You would be 100% lyrics, they would be 100% melody and you would equally split the songwriting credit. I highly recommend you record a professional demo of the song to help sell the idea and then pitch it to artist managers/team. Or find a reputable company to help pitch the song for you. It’s not necessarily easy to sell a song without a strong network first but it’s all doable.

    • @ElyseSaunders
      @ElyseSaunders  9 месяцев назад

      I think you might be asking about ASCAP, check them out. You should register your songs there as soon as you’ve completed a song to show record of date to when the song was written and who wrote on it. If the song gets released, they will collect music royalties for you
