How does Sup Forums go about writing their songs?

A number of different ways. I usually start with a melody. Before I go anywhere near an instrument I try to imagine as much of the melody as possible, the timing it will have, and the exact notes, until I can hear it clearly enough in my head to hum it to myself. This might take hours. I then record myself humming to make sure the essence of the melody isn't lost in the process of playing it on an instrument. When I have got the melody down I usually look for single note harmonies that work well with the different parts of the melody. After I have settled on these harmonies I build the theoretical chord framework around them and begin writing variations and progressions for the rest of the song.

>field recording of a school playground
>put sound of buzzing fridge over the top
>record myself crying and throwing up into my toilet
>G
>Em
>C
>D

love - dove
baby - maybe
fire - desire
right - tonight
girl - world

that ought to get you started

I just write stuff down that I think about and I'll later repurpose it so it can rhyme, makes it sound as genuine as I'm trying to make it

Lyrics mostly

in all seriousness every song i've made up has been about sucking and fucking so yeah that's an issue i have to address.

>finger random frets on the guitar
>slide that chord shape around until I find the least dissonant chord
>work with that and make a progression
>never write it down and want to die
