Question

How would I write a song for my friend's birthday?

Nicole Reijonen

Community Answer

You could write about all the inside jokes you have; all the memories you've made; something you like/ love about them; or base the song off the Happy Birthday song. They should like that.

Question

How do I find the right feelings to write a song for my best friend?

Community Answer

Sit, relax, and think about your best friend. Let the feelings flow freely. Write down any words, phrases, or sentences that come to mind; whatever you want to say to him/her. After writing everything down, you can now review and reorganize the words to form a proper poem or song.
