There are many ways to start a song.

As for the length, the time it takes to write a song varies. Sometimes it can take from minutes to years.

Suffice to say, it can be hard to tell the difference between diarrhea and production with some producers.


Fucking magnificent

its not rap or hiphop, its trance, usually a one liner lopped 3-4 times repeat 8-12 times....

i would agree, but alot of electronic songs with lyrics are very well written and poetic i find, it would have to take some time for sure to sit down and write a good song and be from someone with a good imagination and thought process/talent.

At least it's a good way to make some extra cash if you need it.



hahahahahahaha
nice
i agree 100%

can't find it but i remember one of the tickboxes was 'get cor fijneman to make it for me', which always annoyed me because cor is (or was) a pretty inept producer himself & it was blatantly geert huinink that did most of the helping
