All what you describe make perfect sense. Most important is to be able to catch inspiration when it comes. Being honest is also a key, maybe not for success but for sure to keep control and stay ourself. This is at least why audience is loving you for long. In my personal case, this is why I love your music and your words.
@@ThomannMusic Mainly from life around me, news, injustice. Human stupidity is a large source of inspiration. We're always surprised about how people could react the opposite way they should to keep our word a better place to live in.
My experience is that I usually start with a title and/or chorus lyrics first. The phrases of the chorus give me the rhythm and I can work out the rest. The verses usually are much easier to write when you're building up to a chorus that you know already it's good. Writing a verse first without a chorus, for me at least, means that either the song is going to remain unfinished or becomes a chorus-less song. Because I never really manage to build it up when the ideas I have are used for the verse. But I guess that's just me.
@@ThomannMusic thanks for replying! Since I've played guitar... err... since 1995! But I've been productive the most in the past 10 years I think with my band.
Agree entirely about the lyrics first method. I write lyrics first _because i'm terrible at putting music to words, but yes i write and as i go along i find myself building a melody line and lyrical rhythm to the lines, then i try t fit music to the words (usually failing miserably).❤
Depends on the song type I'm writing what comes first. Hook tunes mostly evolve through riffs for me. Lyrics that develop a more complex idea seem to grow on their own, then I follow the emotion to craft the music, which leads to sharpening up the lyrics. That's how it happens with me anyway. ✌
Lyrics and melody written in my head first. I can then figure out music around it. I find if you have to write the music first you’re too limited to what you can do. I write everything on paper and in my head first.
Hi Thomann team, I was wondering if you could do a video in which you demonstrate your line of several double native Indian flutes? I find reviews of these hard to find, but demonstration videos are - in my mind - one of the most decisive factors in buying an instrument online. Thanks!
Hi Pascal. Thanks for your comment! We sadly don’t have a host for double native Indian flutes at the moment, but we will keep our eyes open. If you have specific questions regarding our selection of flutes, please do not hesitate to send an email to brass@thomann.de. Our colleagues will gladly answer all of your questions :)
I have ALWAYS wondered this. Interesting to know!
I usually write music first , and then ask for help with whatever lyric line I start with

Thanks for your kind words - where do you catch inspiration from?

Hi Antonio. That's cool to hear - how long have you been making music for already?

Keep notes or record your ideas for later use!!! Oh so many lost ideas 😓.
