Songwriting is important, but just because it’s important doesn’t mean you need to take a long time to write a song. In fact, you may find that you can write BETTER songs if you can learn to write songs FASTER. Have you ever heard of the 80/20 principle? That means if you write 10 songs, you’ll end up with two really great ones…all the more reason write MORE songs. And one easy way to write more songs is to learn to write songs FASTER. Don’t underestimate the power of setting DEADLINES and working with a TIMER. Have fun with it!

Your song turned out really well! I tried writing an recording a song in fifteen minutes a year or two ago. I re-recorded it a while later and I think it's one of my favorite songs I've made. I should try doing this again.
Joe - thank you for your work, you always make so many complex issues into simple solutions. Super talented.
Good stuff. Getting going is definitely the hardest part of most things.
Joe, I've been songwriting for decades and I've always said some of my best songs were written in 15 minutes. Many that took months lost that something special that was there in the beginning and I could never recapture. Which is why the discipline of recording even the earliest songwriting sessions of a song is so important. Sometimes you can capture "on tape" that special something that would otherwise be lost forever. This was a very good video.
A gentleman from my hometown, Chris Gelbuda, is currently a staff songwriter at Big Yellow Dog Music in Nashville. Prior to moving out there, he had a "Song a Day" project going on that I'm sure helped land the gig. 15 minutes would be tough, though!
Thank you Joe! The challenges you post here are inspiring
Makes sense. I always gegt disracted - like when a new Joe Gilder video appears in my feed! 😀
I have been trying to get songs together for ages. This has inspired me to have a go using your method. That has been an eye-opener for me as are most of the videos on recording etc. Thank you Joe, I always look forward to your videos, one day I am sure I will join one of your courses.
It was fun to watch your process and this was a good refresher for me. I spent 15-20 minutes working on a song idea this morning that's been floating around and made some significant progress. Cheers!
Such an intriguing challenge! Will give it a shot tomorrow.
Me too
I will reply you when done 😊
That was pretty cool Joe. My biggest take away was to get a powerful chorus sorted first. I have been trying for a little while to get the technique right. I build a progression on guitar then write lyrics to the verses. I find when it comes to choruses I am falling flat, but that was a simple and powerful, repeatable chorus you wrote there. That's the part a listener will remember first I think. The rest will come in subsequent listens. A valuable lesson, thanks Joe
Well done, Joe!
thanks for showing us out can be done. focused attention and making space in our daily lives can bring forth some really good moments. thank you for sharing!!
This is so good. I would like to see this as a kind of series where you make a song in 15 or 20 minutes and then record it and mix it and put it out there. That would be so good. And maybe we all can participate in a challenge like that (put a deadline on that).
joe you fowarded most of the time...wish it was uncut so we be with you there in your creative space as you scratch lyrics and music ideas...otherwise am your number one fun...youve been my inspiration in my journey of music production
If we wanna see the tempo we just follow Joe's swaying. 😁 Very nice song from 15 minutes
Go Joe.
Really nice song - especially the melody, which I thought was beautiful!
that's a very beautiful song
Nice idea Joe. I might not be the first to tell you but your vocal reminds me on Thom Yorke. Great!
his falsetto def reminds me of Thom.
Best. Compliment. Ever.
I thought the same as well. Sounded Radiohead like in the melody.
Joe, your voice is better than most signed major label artists.
amazing work 💪
Nice bro!! Your voice is so smooth man. I could listen all day!Id love to come down and write with you sometime!!Im only 2 hrs away!
I like your head voice tones :)
hey man , i would liketo hear it recorded
Please call the song “turn the page” lol that worked out pretty well
holy crap Joe, incredible vigor & vulnerability. I can basically do this, but I’ve ended up with too many songs (2verses, chorus, bridge) That I don’t honestly like. So, Video Request: Write A Song You’d Actually Listen To In 1/2Hr?
It doesn't seem like it's that difficult to write a song in 15 minutes. Beyonce does it all the time. And all it takes is having a room full of 28 people who all resort to the same chord structure and time signature over and over again, ad nauseum.
Yep, and the people keep buying it and it keeps working…so ask who the smart one is…
You know what that means? There are different formulas for writing songs. Everything has been done by now, but there are still plenty of melodic and arrangement options for the same chord progressions. You can start with a simple formulaic thing, do some modulation and exchange some chords for others to spice things up, but ultimately you need a good melody, a catchy melody. That's not easy to do, but when you do it so much, you will hone your craft and be able to do it much more easily.
这是一首好歌
there was a Stewart copeland interview on the making of the PS1 Spyro soundtrack... he wrote the skeleton of a piece in less than ten minutes with just a keyboard and virtual instruments. and that was the year ~199x.
of course the style of the song was in his wheelhouse (the I - IV chords in mixolydian with frantic drums)... but he himself said that it's possible to keep making music fast.
This worked fantastically! I'm on hour number three and I think I'm on the verge of something!
Hey Hey, Day 10 and the song is written! I think it's a keeper too.
Once upon a time a song like this would go to top 10 on the charts…
hey Joe, I've watched your older video about mixer in home studio. Maybe you you know if it's possible to use StudioLive 16.0.2 can be used as DAW controller?
Nope.
Have you considered putting your new song on Spotify, Joe?
If I produce it, yes.
This bro is a Coach ❤ 💪🖊️📜
Also like @Capt-Cran comment I am suspicious of “music by the clock”. I believe I understand your good intention to push everyone to be creative and to not procrastinate. But, at least for me, as just a passioned amateur, I prefer to follow my instincts. Sometimes I do a song (that pleases me) in one shot, maybe even in less than 15 minutes. But most of the times I take much much longer, namely the lyrics and the complete arrangement. Each music for me is like a dating period, you have to let it breathe, grow and have its own life.
Nice. One song in a 15 minutes :-) That means you can compose full album material in a 2,5 hour :-) I've heard one of the famous opera composers had written a libretto to his opera 12 hours before its premiere. That was the pressure. 🙂
For a moment there, listening to that strum, I thought you were going to end up with "Good 'ol Boys."
What if you don't play an instrument?
I think it is a beautiful song….
I'd call these brainstorming sessions, no more. And while they can be extremely valuable, today's obsession with hacking the algorithm by producing non-stop content is severely compromising the quality of music across the board. Song lengths are often 2-2.5 mins now because one can only listen to a single hook repeated ad nausem for so long. And while admittedly, I write songs by coming up with chord progressions on the piano, this is merely the template from which a song evolves. By the same token, strumming some chords on a guitar is not a "song" either. That said, that piece was very listenable, Joe. Talented bastard.
Joe "lennon" killed this one. I'm 26 and my smoker voice can't go in those high notes even if used helium gas
here's what you need to right decent music:
you have to GO somewhere and DO something and then have a POINT OF VIEW about those occurrences
Fyodor Dostoyevsky wrote that there are only two stories: a journey begins and a stranger comes to town
now, tell me a story
I used to live next door to a guy whose band sold over 30 million albums. He'd often tell me that songs just came to him in his sleep and that they just wrote themselves. When I quizzed him further, he admitted that the actual fleshing out of the arrangement and nailing down the lyrics, etc. actually took weeks. Moral of the story? An idea is not a song 🤷♂
I see you like racing games
Challenges are fun. If your gf is ever annoyed with you writing, ask her to give you 20 words… tell her to go call a friend for an hour, and you’ll have a song ready.
Works every time…good or bad!
Joe I'm a big fan!! ... this not a complaint because I so much appreciate your videos and shares, but I have to say, the overall concept of this video is what music and song writing is not about IMHO ... I am a song writer, and I have often loathed the fact that people come to work in Nashville in the mornings ... jump into a room with co-writers to try to write a hit (I'm not saying many are making big money doing just that) ... a song should come from within ... that's why I can't hardly even listen to today's country ... most of the tunes are not from within IMHO ... they are written with "MARKETING and SALES" as their primary motive ... my friend ... I don't call that art .... that is why the great songs sustain because the flow from true desire to share and express ... I understand you were demonstrating that a song could be written in a short period of time, but I would never want to noose my creativity to such criteria ... I have written songs in "very" short periods of time because they came naturally ... other times ... songs have often taken many hours to get them to their right place ... am I a famous writer ... no ... but you might be surprised how many CDs of my music has sold over the years ... at 62 ... my music has nothing to do with whether I make money or sales ... I write a song to share something that means something to me and hoping others may relate to the same .... didn't mean to wax so philosophical in my response ... but I believe music needs to be real ... let it come when and if it comes ... no constraints ... I never sit down to write a song ... ever ... I let the song come to me ... let the real emotion and story of the music and/or words flow free ... AND ... again, I'm one of your biggest fans and appreciate you dearly ... believe this or not ... one of my FAVORITE songs (and I mean this) is your tune "All in my Head" ... I listen to it often and repeatedly .... doesn't that song mean something special as you were writing it and sharing it? ... if you wrote that song in 15 minutes .... please don't tell me ... I think it would crash my love of it ... HA ... joking ... but seriously ... it is a GREAT tune ... you are Top Shelf ... keep the content coming ... my insignificant rant is now over!! .... until!! (going to listen to "All in my Head" right now!!)
Is there somewhere I can hear your songs?
For a lot of people, “letting the song come to them” is a form of procrastination.
@@HomeStudioCorner I, for one, can't force a song. I don't even want to be a singer/songwriter and have been wishing forever that I could put down the guitar and be done with it. But I was given a directive when I was little, from higher Self, I suppose, and now and then something just moves me.
How can there be procrastination when there is no time?
heres another take... make a song with only CHORDS you never used (or at least invertions!)
Joe, I love your content and learn a lot. But, no offence, I don't get why having that nice and round baritone voice you sing in that squeezed small, strangled and tight little voice...Big hug.
Music inspired by scripture and the Holy Spirit is the most powerful.
If you don't do it, you'll NEVER do it! Great advice Joe.
Good song.
Your voice sounds similar to that of Chris Daughtry's.
