• Everyone Has Fun – People are relaxed and having a good time. Writing truly bad songs is an art to itself and you just have to go with whatever pops in your head.

• People Are Maximum Creative – When you are trying to make something that sucks, you typically abandon the ruts you've been stuck in for years. You start doing things off the wall. Granted, this is usually just stupid, but there are times when it is great!

• The Song Following Is Usually Good – When writing the worst song ever, the guitar riff is usually really corny and silly sounding. For whatever reason, the next song always seams to have a riff that is lot more realistic for a “real song”. This concept is not limited to the guitar. It seams the melody and vocals seam to follow suit. Good things always seam to happen after forcing yourself into a stupid corner.

Bad Things That Can?Come From Writing Good Songs On Purpose

• Some People Try Too Hard – When a person sits down with the idea that he is going to write a hit song, it's kind of like a guy going to a club dead set on finding a girlfriend that night. These just aren't things you can force.

• People Tense Up – When you say that you have until the end of the night to write a great song, you will feel the pressure. You will tense up. Tension in itself isn't always bad, but it does seam to impare the creative process. People overthink everything. It's sort of like a songwriting panic attack.

• A Person Obsessed With Writing Only Great Songs Will Miss Out On The Amazing Gift Of Terrible Songs – Terrible songs have their place. They have a magic to them that we all should embrace for various reasons. Writing terrible songs is like an inside joke among friends because the writers of horrid music are often the only ones that actually get it.

Human League

Most of you probably aren't huge fans of Human League. I was raised on the stuff so I've got an appreciation for Human League music that unnaturally comes from my environment. You are familiar with Human League. The are notorious for the “Don't You Want Me, Baby?” Australian sounding dance music smash. They also had a mega smash in 1986 for the song “Human”. Basically, they are a household name. People know who they are. They've made millions of dollars and have had multiple hit songs. You can read all about them on Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_League

The thing that I've noticed about this band is they obviously just crank out the songs and let whatever come out that comes out. Some of the crap this band has created and actually released is about as disgusting and vomit like as it gets. Try listening to “Empire State Human”!! It'll blow your mind.

The beauty of the fact that this groups songs change so much even within the same album and obvious super crap comes out is also the reason that the world has “Don't You Want Me, Baby?” an d”Human”. Both of these songs impacted our culture and my life wouldn't be the same without them (for better or worse).

So I guess Human League sums up my songwriting concept here. By relaxing and letting whatever comes out, come out, you will create a bunch of crap that people are still laughing at 20 years later, but you may stumble onto a few songs that really do change the world just a little bit.
