Are songwriters born or made? Can anyone write good songs?

Writing is something that you learn to do. Of course you also need a bit of inspiration and talent to write a good song, but you should work on it.

Good songs come from the heart and are sincere.. people like them when they can relate to them

@Harrystyles11 if you just write what you feel and think.. it works

@SStarfish I mean I could write like that but I am kind of a perfectionist and can't afford to write shitty songs, I guess thats where I am wrong

I'm kind of a failed musician (meaning I don't make my living at it) but I play guitar and write songs that noone willever here. What makes a good song? Is a good song something that is a "hit" or is it a song scribbled in a notebook that will never see the light of day. Basically a good song is one we like - I bad song is one we hate.....just a thought.

@luctoretemergo dude why do you call yourself a failed musician? We need to talk
I am a musician and singer myself and I wanna pursue this as a career maybe I could learn something from you?

You can learn to write songs.

Harrystyles11 · 26-30, M

@Entwistle I hope

I think anyone can have the potential to write a really good song, but it takes a song writer to do it again and again. They are born with the talent and are made depending on what they do with it.

Harrystyles11 · 26-30, M

@indyjoe you mean only a guy who has been gifted with it would have the balls to work on that skill or should I say be persistent with it.

indyjoe · 56-60, M

@Harrystyles11 No I didn't say that. Anyone can be persistent and develop skill if they want to, but it takes talent to consistently make it work. It just comes more naturally to someone gifted with it. And there are many people with talent too who just do anything with it.

Lennon and McCartney had to learn. So did whoever it is you admire as a songeriter.
