SONGWRITING 101 Songwriting isn’t difficult as long as you approach it with a silly attitude! For your first attempts, don’t try to write the song of century, just write a small short piece that’s fun. The song of the century will come later (or maybe not, but who cares?). I found a wonderful website that I think will be a great starting point in your artistic endeavors. Take a look:
http://mysongcoach.com/write-a-song-in-ten-steps/ And… http://mysongcoach.com/song-starters/
A very helpful tool to explore common chord progressions that you may want to use for your song can be found at: http://www.hotfrets.com/chord_progressions Don’t feel bound by the chord progressions you find here. You may want to start with one of these, but then change the progression around a bit (in a different order, or use just a few of the chords in the progression) for the “bridge” or the “chorus” of the song. When I wrote “I Wish I Met You In Kindergarten” I started with an idea (the title), and then thought about all of the things that might have happened. I wrote them all down and eventually only used a handful of them for the different “verses”. I then picked one of these to be the re-occurring “chorus”, and finally fooled around with a few of the chords and made a “bridge”. Not a masterful tune, but I had a lot of fun writing it. Remember… you’re in charge! Have fun, and don’t expect your first songs to be anything but FUN! SUMMARY OF THE TEN STEPS:
1. Start with the title. 2. Make a list of questions suggested by the title.
3. Decide on a song structure. 4. Answer one question for the chorus, and a different
one in each verse. 5. Find the melody in your lyric. 6. Begin to add chords to your
chorus melody. 7. Choose a question to answer in your first verse. 8. Connect your
verse and chorus. 9. Build your second verse and bridge. 10. Record your song.

La Vie En Rose “La Vie En Rose” was the signature song of French singer Edith Piaf. Written in 1945, it was popularized in 1946 and released as a single in 1947. The song's title can be translated as "Life in Rosy Hues" or "Life Through Rose-Colored Glasses"; its literal meaning is "Life in Pink".
[C] Hold me close and hold me [Cmaj7] fast
The magic spell you [Am] cast
This is la vie en [Dm] ro-[G]-se
[G] When you kiss me, heaven [G7] sighs
And though I close my [G] eyes
I see la vie en [C] ro-[G]-se
[C] When you press me to your [Cmaj7] heart
I'm in a world [Am] apart -
A world where roses [Dm] bloom
And [Dm] when you speak, Angels [C] sing from above
[Dm] Everyday words seem to [G] turn into love [G7] songs
[C] Give your heart and soul to [Cmaj7] me
and life will always [F] be …
[Dm] la… [G] vie en… [C] rose.
