Songwriting Tips: Why Familiar Melodies Can Be a Good Thing
When you create a melody you're excited about, it's common to worry it sounds like another song. I've been there many times. But here's the secret: all songs recycle melodies.
Every tune shares some elements with others. So, if your song feels familiar, don't stress?"that's actually beneficial.
Why Familiarity is Good
A recognizable melody allows listeners to connect more easily with your song. They might not pinpoint where they've heard it before, but they’ll be drawn in by its familiarity. And even if someone notices, your unique words, tune, and music make it your own.
Jumpstarting Melody Creation
Here are some techniques to kickstart your creative process:
1. Hum a Favorite Tune
Choose a song you know well, and hum the melody without singing the words. This encourages melodic thinking. Play with variations until it transforms into something new and yours.
2. Play with Instruments
Try playing a song’s melody on an instrument. Once you’ve got it, modify parts of it. Sing or hum these changes aloud. If it’s tricky to play, let your intuition guide you to create a fresh melody as you play.
3. Experiment with Unfamiliar Songs
Listen to a song you don’t know well. After one or two listens, try singing along. Likely, you won’t recall it perfectly, which is fine. Invent your own melody to go along with it. This can be easier if you use a backing track without vocals, letting you create your own melody over it.
You might be surprised at how original your song turns out; thanks to your unique words and style, it won’t feel like a copy.
Keep It Simple
Complex melodies can be impressive, but your goal is to create something simple yet captivating. Melodies often repeat throughout a song. If yours feels worthy of repetition, you're on the right track.
Remember: simplicity can be your most powerful tool when crafting memorable music.
