Apparently there are some people complaining about it being off key. It is, sometimes. But honestly just inspires me more! I'm a songwriter and I also don't always sound on key. It's not the intention of this demo: it's about showing the idea, not about sounding perfect. It inspires me that really amazing artists like Taylor Swift are human too.
i love hearing her songwriting memos too. as another songwriter, i love your comment. too many people say things nd dont actually think about what the songwriting process can be like, and totally ignore the fact that that is what these memos are. songs in progress, not practises or rehearsals!
I'm too a songwriter and I'm also sometimes out of the key, but honestly, perfection is nothing, the only thing you need to do is let your soul sing the tune of your emotions, let your lyrics and your melodies be the echoes of your feelings and heart.And this is it, that's how Taylor is one of the biggest songwriters of all the times, she's fucking honest.
@@Estevao-rj3piok this is off topic but how did you start writing songs like how does a line or a topic pops into your mind . And do you have to know how to play an instrument or not , I wanna start writting songs but I just don't know how 🤷🏼
@@Darlingiamscared Okay.Sorry if you don't understand me, English is not my first language. For the lyrics, just be yourself, sing your life, even it's in a metaphorical way.And never ever be hard with your first lyrics, talent is something that you need to work on it, your first lyrics don't define your talent, ok? So just think about what's happening in your life, what you need to talk with your best friend.For the imagery, try to imagine in your mind a scene that could tell your feelings and story (if you're writing autobiographical lyrics, just tell what was on the place or places where your story happened).And just start singing a melody, there's a lot of instrumentals songs on RUclips.But I'm also a producer, so I do my own instrumentals. But remember just be yourself!!! Write your life.Keep in my mind that you need to take your time.
She has said many times that when she has an idea, she records it into her phone. It might be at a party or in the middle of the night. If she is home asleep, she wakes up and goes to work on the song right then. She has her phone propped up in front of her and starts a rough cut of whatever came/comes to her.
To all who say that she isn't a vocalist should stfu becoz singing or vocalizing is not only about hitting the high notes. Her lower register is amazing!! The control she have there is remarkable. Some people have good command in one thing or the other. She can hold her low notes very strongly and her high notes are good too. I am literally tired of people discrediting her as a vocalist.
@@samuelspalding2500 taylor is an artist btw, have you seen how clever her lyrics are? sure she can't hit those notes but she can hit and see thru us with those metaphors.
@@samuelspalding2500being an artist who puts out music is so much more than just being a vocalist. Someone who sings phenomenally well even in higher registers may not do their songwriting. Taylor isn't Mariah Carey, but she's her own artist - she's a passionate storyteller and a writer first, singer second. And that's what makes her one of the best artists of our time 😊

True. She should use her lower register more.
being vocalist specifically means if she can hit those notes, why do you think Ari, Mariah, Whitney, Adele have those titles?
