As a songwriter, i absolutely agree with Post that a really good song comes from a organic process. Whenever i try to make a song with the mindset of getting something good from it, it never flows.
Dunno dude. Id say habitually writing hones that spark to happen much more often. Still gotta put in 10,000 hours writing and hone your craft so that inspiration hits you often.
@@B.OKwithShayFacts bro. Ive been writing at least near 500 rap, trap, sad, emo, sex, pretty boy type shit, drill songs, i go everywhere when it comes to creativity, you have to soak up as much as you can. No sense in staying with one genre when you can get diverse with them all. Stay real brother ❤
This video helped me remember and understand that i can’t control my inspiration, and that i have to stay true to Myself. Thanks Post and the people who put this compilation of videos together, well done.
John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Writing a hit song ain't hard, I know many songwriters who have not one, but many great songs which will never be heard. The hard part for most artists is distributing it and making money out of it. Marketing is the genius of most successful musicians, not product.
@@Orderftw782 I would check if there's no radiation in the water you're drinking and also maybe a pet scan for brain tumors, your condition is apparently very serious. Yikes.
I'm a writer and Post's process is amazingly similar to my own. He talks about how it just comes "naturally" and without force. I don't even think I do anything more than go into a fugue state and type. Next thing I know, the story or essay is done.
John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
very true. So many times I had writers block and could not for the life of me force myself to finish what I was writing, but later it would just come to me
My trick is just to write nonsense and then change it later. Often halfway through writing something stupid and meaningless the right line will come to me.
Hit songs required a few ingredients good melodies, catchy hooks and decent lyrics. Coming up with the catchy melodies and make everything blend in is the hard part it requires creativity and talent
Marketing is everything. My channel is living proof… most of my tracks I make within a week and it’s just me improvising mostly… without the lofi branding my tracks would just be random instrumentals. Granted I’ve put my heart and soul into them but it’s the combination of both that has made made more than half a million views in about 6 weeks.
Discipline and Focus can also bring results. Intent and Purpose also will drive Creativity. I cannot afford to wait around for inspiration. I look for it. And then work at it.
Your ideas are far from mistakes, it is very organic. Your sound, style, personality, is just plain fucking cool. His music really is spiritual to alot of folks. Thank you sir, you are an exceptional story writer/singer/songwriter/actor & I believe you are a true empath that works on the musical concert level.
Honestly, out of all the songs I've ever recorded. The song that flowed to me the most natural way, is my MOST liked/streamed song out my whole catalog. It showed me that, when you're trying "too hard" with the lyrical miracle, bragadocious stuff, it comes off less authentic. BE AUTHENTIC. LET IF FLOW. It doesn't always have to be about crazy rhymes. SN: I wrote this song passed midnight. Literally looking up at the stars at night. Today, it's my most streamed song. And to think, i debated on even dropping it. Im glad I DID.
I feel this! Writing is easy to me.. but producing vocals and mixing it.. I can't get it down for the life of me. I been self learning for a couple years. I got the basics of compression, eq, reverb, etc . Mixing or producing is the hardest part for me.
Finding the worth in the tangents of creation and shaping the worth within the little nuggets of tangential creativity and non-linear planning is the genius of creatively producing sounds

Wow! This dude is something! He's right! A hit song or award winning performance ..it must come from your passion, your expression! you can't really control the process. Madonna once said " It's all about the work, the project. Success is a byproduct of the work." Anyone can do an impression of a singer or actor. To do something Original, Something that Hasn't been done a hundred times....Whoa! Malone is original and different from the rest! His brutal honesty, a sense of organic and familiar... His " I've effed up, but I'm still trying to be happy!" Is what he brings to his music. His song Chemical...... it's probably too honest for some. too candid, explicit That's what makes it cool! He's Not afraid to admit he effed up! So many performers act as though they execute everything perfectly! Malone isn't like that! He's Honest and he appreciates his fans!
Make RUclips shorts lip singing the song and post it a million times if it’s a hit RUclips will let you know and people will use the sound in their shorts and it’ll be a hit
I think it was Thomas Edison who said "The “genius” hangs around his laboratory day and night. If anything happens he’s there to catch it" You must be ready to "catch" it.
The difference between him and unsuccessful music artists is that he perfectly happy with letting those "mistakes" get finished, and released into the world. Most artists stuck in their bedroom have those same mistakes all over their hard drive but don't release them because they are scared or they don't sound like they hoped or sound like other 'professional' output whatever that means.
Post Malone is a method actor his father owns the football stadium where the Dallas Rams play. He was put into this position. I know artists in the music industry that have personally written and write for Post Malone. I still love his music it is what it is. F the fame
yeah music sometimes happens but you gotta remember those musicians who stood the test of time sat down and WROTE music. BWV 565 didn't he happen on a toilet seat bach wrote the thing by knowing the language of notes and how to use them to make sentences that are understandable by anyone.
As a teacher of Grade 5/6 looking for inspiration to teach an engaging Poetry unit, I need this clip to be clean. Teachers worldwide would use Post Malone as inspiration for composition... but it is not usable. Please think of creating a classroom-friendly version.
I have lucid dreams. When I awake, I hum the melodies into my voice memos app. Once I start working on the foundation of the melody, I start building a song structure around it. Listen to A Village of Vigils
It’s a stupid simple solution for making good music that took me five years to figure out. If you don’t genuinely love what you’re making, odds are most people won’t either.
When im making a song i have to had gone through something that brings up strong emotions for me personally that’s always how I find my hook and everything else comes together eventually
There's no guarantee that a song is going to be a hit and I don't think there's anything like a hit song. You just get into the studio and grind, I have seen overlooked songs become the career changing song
It’s misleading because there’s not a magic formula to write hits, and that’s the whole point of being a songwriter: the fun is in the endless search for that magic
@@06Teksso what? It’s not addressed because as I said there’s no set rules or a formula to write a ‘hit song’. If there was you’d just buy it or learn it and we’d all become millionaires. You never know what the public wants so you just gotta keep writing tunes, improving your craft and one day one might blow up. The title is clickbait but there’s gems there if you know where to look for
Post Malone writes songs based on what he just listened to - there's a ton of STP, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden riffs (and even melodies) in many of his songs and I cannot believe he hasn't been sued into bankruptcy yet for ripping everyone off.
Well I most say this the hardest audience honestly talking is RUclips you can make music because you love music that’s fine , he is right about those inspirations moments that you make sure you make notes but there is something else that must of them still keep secret

Yeah, like in bed at 2am

100%? Are you sure? His songs are are a recipe like almost all pops songs
And you dream some really cool melodies,when u wake up u forget😂
The thing they all have in common is inspiration. As long as there’s inspiration you can create anything
Its not the song its the package. The person delivering the song is everything. Not to mention lables not so subtle way of planting it into our minds

Some of my best songs that I wrote just came to me....I just got on the mic n started recording phrases n once I finish, I'm always amazed
Im truly adore Post Malone.
Yeah, he's the best!
Post malone is such a kind person to everyone, just a good dude
You can’t rush creative prosess
As an artist myself i am super grateful for this video!
finally someone who does what I do. drink beer, put on a beat, hit record and see what sounds good!!!
Sharppp

I made a lot of songs back then, called "follow me, try again, and a lot more.." so its so easy for me to understand him..
Honestly, out of all the songs I've ever recorded. The song that flowed to me the most natural way, is my MOST liked/streamed song out my whole catalog.

Drop yoo name bro
Yeah bro lemme hear
Its so hard to write great songs and definitely hard to "produce" it after its written,,I HATE doing it by myself for real.
I feel this!
Writing is easy to me.. but producing vocals and mixing it.. I can't get it down for the life of me. I been self learning for a couple years. I got the basics of compression, eq, reverb, etc .
Mixing or producing is the hardest part for me.
"Its just kinda happens" awesome essay bro
I have been listening to post for a very long time I must say you are a great and natural writer
ALWAYS record an idea on the phone! damn, this is something everyone should write down...
he needs a G2M box
guitar to midi :) use it too its great
I want to collaborate with post one day, see if it comes to pass
Just do it your own way ✌️
posty is in my opinion the best artist ever. just goes from the heart over multiple genres and redefined every one of them.
The pressureforcing a passion into a job is the death of creativity
it's called creativity.
Finding the worth in the tangents of creation and shaping the worth within the little nuggets of tangential creativity and non-linear planning is the genius of creatively producing sounds
Let's be honest people half the songs he writes aren't just completely done by him

Wow! This dude is something!
He's right!
A hit song or award winning performance
..it must come from your passion, your expression!
you can't really control the process.
Madonna once said " It's all about the work, the project. Success is a byproduct of the work."
Anyone can do an impression of a singer or actor.
To do something Original, Something that Hasn't been done a hundred times....Whoa!
Malone is original and different from the rest!
His brutal honesty, a sense of organic and familiar...
His " I've effed up, but I'm still trying to be happy!"
Is what he brings to his music.
His song Chemical......
it's probably too honest for some.
too candid, explicit
That's what makes it cool!
He's Not afraid to admit he effed up!
So many performers act as though they execute everything perfectly!
Malone isn't like that!
He's Honest and he appreciates his fans!
I agree with this 💯 I write all my songs spur of the moment and I have some really nice ones that are definitely hit material.
Make RUclips shorts lip singing the song and post it a million times if it’s a hit RUclips will let you know and people will use the sound in their shorts and it’ll be a hit
I think it was Thomas Edison who said "The “genius” hangs around his laboratory day and night. If anything happens he’s there to catch it" You must be ready to "catch" it.

I love how respectful post Malone is!
It takes me like half a day to write one song lol then I gotta revise it when I hear it over and over. So it takes me really a day
Facts, I’ve written many songs in the shiter as well 😂 also dont force it, make use of prompts but sometimes it just comes to you.
He don't know how to write hit song but he can make song and music that he be
that magic thing is the soul you put in to it. its a part of you that comes out.
I feel everything he’s saying doing this for over 10 years I feel it
The narrator makes me feel like we're about to see two post Malone's charge each other for dominance over a fish
Like a NatGeo documentary 😂
Post Malone is a method actor his father owns the football stadium where the Dallas Rams play. He was put into this position. I know artists in the music industry that have personally written and write for Post Malone. I still love his music it is what it is. F the fame
How can you not love Post Malone
Shaping the shotgun blast of creative tangents into a Lazer guided idea; is a gifted producer's talent
Are there any tips on wirting a song being a feature
yeah music sometimes happens but you gotta remember those musicians who stood the test of time sat down and WROTE music. BWV 565 didn't he happen on a toilet seat bach wrote the thing by knowing the language of notes and how to use them to make sentences that are understandable by anyone.

I find that when im in the shower things come to me an when i wake up at like 3 or 4 am i get a spark of inspiration lol idk why
Writing a song is easy! But the hard part is, is it good? Is it catchy?
Does it matter?
Most of this music is written while taking a shit. this explains a lot.
Never knew I had so much in common with post
This video hits hard
One would say his ideas flow out of him.
Interesting video, cheers from Germany
