Spark - Songwriting exercise
Inspiration for songs is all around us.
This exercise trains you to notice what's already around you and see it as material worth writing about.
Example
Prompt: "A photo you keep meaning to delete" The photo is blurry, but it's the last picture I have of you on my phone. Titles could be: "Roll Camera", "Focus", "The One Before You Left". Once you have a strong title, your hook will often follow.
