I love twooba so much. She's always saying things that are so perceptive and smart and then tries to hide it behind a joke or something. I really admire her. It's really noble and beautiful of her to be actively teaching us how to be a composer. thanks twooba!
This actually seems fun and it’s a good way to match chords to lyrics. I’m a beginner song writer and I always have chords with no lyrics . This helps out !
This is so interesting because I realize that this is kinda the way I write lyrics myself. I usually start with the music first, like a riff or a chord progression, and then before writing lyrics I kinda hum a melody over it, which slowly morphs into words and phrases, and from that I work out the lyrics for the entire song.
I can't believe you just posted this. I have been anxious for days trying to write something after a long break from writing and I just now decided to find help. Then I find this genious video! Thank you for the content and for the timing
@@HOLLASOUNDS - According to the 'Rocketman' movie, he just sits down at the piano with the lyrics written by somebody else and right away sings the whole song just as we all know it! 😄😉
This intentional mishearing is what I use to come up with riffs. Misunderstand the rhythm, half or double the tempo. Use the same notes in different rhythm or the other way around. Very good way to copy a style without stealing riffs.
thanks for ur videos :) I don’t know anyone my age that likes music and stuff so it’s nice to hear ur tips and fun bits ur sharing. it’s lighthearted and conversational while still being so helpful omg. I’ve been having this same problem writing from paper. I just go blank. the songs I’ve made have been just improvising and recording it but after I’m done I forget everything that just came outta my mouth lol. thanks for the tips girlie now I wanna revisit those songs and see what this big ol brain can do
I was actually talking about this yesterday, I use misheard lyrics and words in my writing too! I'm definitely gonna do this, it seems like a blast. HAVE A GOOD DAY TWOOBA!
That's how I get a lot of my inspiration; oftentimes from mishearing songs on the radio or whatever. Never thought about mishearing myself! Great video and a great method you have. You're a true artist. Thank you and well done!
I've read a whole bunch of songwriting books and taken songwriting courses and the videos that twooba makes are pretty much... the best?! They're so concise and engaging and have genuinely good and useful ideas and this video rules so much! hooray for twooba
111K subscribers right now, nice! 😀👍 And beyond all the weird humour and quirkiness, her tips really are very useful (And thank you, twooba! 😀) I've hardly ever had any problems with coming up with the actual Music, but lyrics and vocal melodies have never really been my forté either 😭😆
The beauty of "mishearingness" is that you get better at it with age! Seriously!! It sucks for some things, but can be great for lyrics, and for hearing hilarious stuff you know people didn't actually say! :D
Gucci gang jokes in 2022 are cringe. Just let rappers have fun. Like Mac Damarco doesn’t sing the same thing over and over in a song that’s just how it happens. Just have fun, Joel
@@aldorthegreat5267 Fair point, but trash is still trash and not everything is acceptable. Standards exist and some bar of entry must exist for things to be taken with some degree of credibility.
This is probably the best way to "write" lyrics for me. For me it doesn't really matter what the lyrics to a song are. Some of my favorite songs are ones where you can't really make out what they are saying anyway.
I once came up with a cool guitar part and then looked at the back of a random old euro horror vhs tape and just turned a paraphrased version of the film's description into song lyrics.
4:40 excellent advice … sit on it and come back a little later … stepping back, taking a break from anything … practicing a new thing or writing a riff or just anything … you’ll almost always come back with a fresh perspective and many times a wall or block you’ve encountered will be gone and you can jump ahead easy peasy! (just don’t think … let it flow)
The way you said "I'm gonna kick this off with a question" gave me such a "all I need in life is my dog and wine"/"don't talk to me before I've had my coffee" type vibe.
It's highly enjoyable to watch Paul McCartney come up with the song Get Back, on the Get Back movie. He basically just sings gibberish until the words come.
This is really helpful! I always sing in jibberish when writing a song i should defiinetly go back to the random words more. Sometimes i come up with lyrics first before the guitar chords and that’s when i get a bit stuck
A mondegreen is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase in a way that gives it a new meaning. Mondegreens are most often created by a person listening to a poem or a song
There's a cat on my wall. watching me get a little high, I hope he don,t fall, on the highway I fly, (Chorus) Twooba, Twooba, Twooba, its ok, as i see this crazy world we live in go by.
Yo this is sick, thank you so much for sharing! Did you ever see how Paul McCartney put together Get back in the get back documentary? He did the same thing you’re doing, which I found pretty cool. You’re a real life Beatle 😎😈
i’ve always done something like this when i write songs, so it was surprising that others do this method too! twooba ur legend thanks for making me laugh as always lol
This is precisely how I've been writing songs for years, wail away like an idiot and then a phrase hopefully pops out of nowhere and then it's a case of coloring in from then on. But the hit and miss ratio is another thing altogether. Songwriting is really hard.
I do lyrics like that, and btw Kurt Cobain did it like that. Vocal melody gibberish over chord progression/organized music, then putting strings of words together to form “thoughtful” sentences. It’s the best way because, fuck it. The other way is lyrical perfectionism, which is just procrastination’s bitch cousin.
Hey Twooba, great video. I use to do this all the time before I figured out a personal way that works best for me. Kind of off this topic but not,,Have you seen that plugin called emvoice?? I just saw an ad for it and my brain was blown. I could see it in a few years just flooding music, like A.I. artwork, and kids will make top hits in minutes.. all of a sudden being a musician or songwriter could become watered down to the equivalent of a being a TikToker. Idk, i just saw it and thought to get others thoughts on it. Seems cool to play with..but too damn human like that it weirds me out
Bro I thought I was the only one who used the mishearing method 🤣😭 like 70% of the time I mishear it and hear my own than the other 30% I’m like damn I wish I wrote that
i did this method but i just keep ending up with a manuscript detailing the opening scene of the 1997 batman and robin adaptation starring george clooney and chris o'donnel. do you have any tips to avoid this specific issue?
I heard a story about AI writing poetry or a novel or something, but it all ended up sounding like Lungfish lyrics. So now I really want to put phrases like 'talking trees' 'christ beast' or really any of the lyrics from fearfully and wonderfully into AI and see what happens
Tbh, I couldn’t write a whole meaningful song like that, but indeed I’ve done that a lot lol, when I’ve got a chorus idea and then I try to sing into a verse, but usually inspiration come on the flow so I may repeat the sentence 3/4 times utiles I come up with something really interesting and sometimes others lyrics just follow since it’s really intentional The recording part is good for a bit of the song I guess

Its actually a well known common method but usually a singer will hum and or right a melody that is intended to be replaced by a vocal.

It's how alot of song writer's do it. It can happen the other way around with a written song and the band improvise the music to go with it.

thank u twooba I’ve always wanted to know how to write lyrics (EASY)
I like this method - great job Twooba, thank you.
Good method. I've been pretty much doing it for years because it's music before it becomes anything else.
Thank you twooba all hail twooba

ME AND MY FRIEND NEEDED THIS SO MUCH THANK YOU TWOOBA
4:40 excellent advice … sit on it and come back a little later … stepping back, taking a break from anything … practicing a new thing or writing a riff or just anything … you’ll almost always come back with a fresh perspective and many times a wall or block you’ve encountered will be gone and you can jump ahead easy peasy! (just don’t think … let it flow)
also try playing that rambled version in one room, and go sit in another. That added vagueness is handy at pushing your mind further.
The way you said "I'm gonna kick this off with a question" gave me such a "all I need in life is my dog and wine"/"don't talk to me before I've had my coffee" type vibe.
I've been having such bad writer's block lately- this actually helped so much
I love this method and video. Very useful with metal that is easy misshear.
I think a lot of artists use scatting to find cadence and melody first
u helped me a lot tuba, thank you for helping me a lot
It's highly enjoyable to watch Paul McCartney come up with the song Get Back, on the Get Back movie. He basically just sings gibberish until the words come.
this deserves an oscar
Very Cool Thanks for Showing us The Process. Cheers from Australia
I usually just hum or sound out the melody for the vocals then I’ll listen to that over and over to find words that fit the phrase.
This is really helpful! I always sing in jibberish when writing a song i should defiinetly go back to the random words more. Sometimes i come up with lyrics first before the guitar chords and that’s when i get a bit stuck
A mondegreen is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase in a way that gives it a new meaning. Mondegreens are most often created by a person listening to a poem or a song
So glad I'm not the only one who starts with a gibberish track. It makes finding the melody easier.
Thanks Toobs now I know how to write lyrics (EASY)
Hey thank you Twooba, tanks!
