    As a songwriter, i absolutely agree with Post that a really good song comes from a organic process. Whenever i try to make a song with the mindset of getting something good from it, it never flows.
  • @elwazaraza
    This is 100% true; my ideas usually come at random, unplanned times.
  • @mikedanielofficial
    This video helped me remember and understand that i can’t control my inspiration, and that i have to stay true to Myself. Thanks Post and the people who put this compilation of videos together, well done.

    Writing a hit song ain't hard, I know many songwriters who have not one, but many great songs which will never be heard. The hard part for most artists is distributing it and making money out of it. Marketing is the genius of most successful musicians, not product.

    I'm a writer and Post's process is amazingly similar to my own. He talks about how it just comes "naturally" and without force. I don't even think I do anything more than go into a fugue state and type. Next thing I know, the story or essay is done.

    The thing they all have in common is inspiration. As long as there’s inspiration you can create anything

    very true. So many times I had writers block and could not for the life of me force myself to finish what I was writing, but later it would just come to me
  • @brettjr9521
    Its not the song its the package. The person delivering the song is everything. Not to mention lables not so subtle way of planting it into our minds
  • @timoteooo94
    Some of my best songs that I wrote just came to me....I just got on the mic n started recording phrases n once I finish, I'm always amazed
  • @og951
    Hit songs required a few ingredients good melodies, catchy hooks and decent lyrics. Coming up with the catchy melodies and make everything blend in is the hard part it requires creativity and talent
  • @bluemm1
    Your ideas are far from mistakes, it is very organic. Your sound, style, personality, is just plain fucking cool. His music really is spiritual to alot of folks. Thank you sir, you are an exceptional story writer/singer/songwriter/actor & I believe you are a true empath that works on the musical concert level.

    I made a lot of songs back then, called "follow me, try again, and a lot more.." so its so easy for me to understand him..
