THE ART OF SONGWRITING

Image
THE KLYNIC - Songwriter, screenwriter, blogger, Author, Husband, Father, Brother and Friend . Songwriting is art, art in it's purest form. It is one of the oldest methods of storytelling that dates all the way back to the time of our fathers and foremothers😁. Many things we know about our world today, were embedded in songs and passed from generation to generation, and it's only common to find songs that have transcended time, and the few that are particular to a select group of individuals.  DISCLAIMER: There are no hard or fast rules to songwriting, so I'm not about to give you formulas here.   One thing you should keep in mind is the fact that storytelling at its very core, needs to evoke empathy or its communication will be shortlived.  I was honoured to be invited by Aijay  to her wonderful corner😉, where she lets professionals guide her followers on certain things that relate to their field. I would not be teaching you how ...

LOOK BEYOND SELF

Image
Every day we live our lives and consume quotes from "celebrities" or motivational sites that tell us things like: It's my life so I live it like I please  It's okay to be a little selfish  If it's good by you, then keep at it ...the list could go on forever. Now while all these are not bad by themselves, you have to understand that fundamentally, no man is an island. Think about it, these words didn't fall from heaven and land on the page where you found them, someone, as a result of peculiar experiences they had, wrote them and maybe they had some cool sharing power or a social media account with followers that can lay a siege on your country, so a few retweets or shares brought it your way. We could argue that no one is perfect and I would win because even as you read this, you are aware of the very little imperfections that are only known to you and God. Your life is connected to a million others around you, this connection might not be tangib...

WHAT THE LADIES NEVER TELL YOU

Image
The day you understand that our female species always have something they never tell you but expect you to know, is the beginning of wisdom. Yes, they bite and scratch They yell and throw everything conceivable at you They insult you for everything you are worth Here is the truth: They expect you to understand that all that is because they LOVE and CARE for you. Funny how they choose to show it. As a guy, you have to do the extra, see the extra, feel the extra and say the extra too. You cannot really do too much, so why not go the extra mile. I mean, she's a lady bro. Get her bags when y'all are heading out Keep her on the safe side of the road if both of you are taking a stroll down the road Be the first to always say "sorry" Compliment her even when she doesn't feel she deserves it Understand this: It's the little things you do that eventually matter. So don't overshoot it by thinking that one heroic deed of yours will keep her hum...

CARE

People need to feel loved. People need to reminded how much human they also are. Now, you might be a  "care-less" or "indifferent"  person when it comes to being concerned about how people treat you, but that does not mean you should treat those in your sphere of contact that way. Your nanny wouldn't mind if you come home and ask her how her day was. Your spouse would feel loved when you ask how his/her day at the office was.  That young man who does your laundry wouldn't mind a cup of coffee when he comes to pick up the laundry. IT IS THE LITTLE THINGS YOU DO. Care can be shown at different levels.  Remember to be genuinely interested in people. It could just make the person more efficient or go as far as giving the person a reason to live. LOVE ALWAYS WINS...

LOVERS GUIDE

LOVE is love only when it is TRUE . Everybody goes off saying " love is blind " … IS IT? Love in its default setting is UNCONDITIONAL . My Advice to YOU: When you love, do so with all of you.  There is no need to be selfish about love if it is genuine and for the right reasons. When you care for someone, really do.  Be seriously concerned about others.  People must not love you in return, actually, they do not have to. LOVE IS TRULY ALL THAT MATTERS Never let your actions be deficient of love.  DO NOT EVER PRETEND TO LOVE OR CARE FOR SOMEONE because that love wouldn't stand the test of time. You would end up very frustrated. True love; the love of Christ in the heart of a man, ALWAYS WINS . When you make this love available to those around you, you give them a reason to be alive. You also wouldn't ever have to feel betrayed because you are a love-child of a Love-God, therefore you have all the love you require from your fath...

INTERDEPENDENCE

Everybody wants to become successful .  Everybody wants to stand ou t.  These days people go on about how proud they are to be independent , and how independence pays off . What they fail to realize is the fact that no man is an island . You cannot become successful without people .  WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER !!!! No matter how great an architect you are, you still need an expert " independent " mechanic to fix your car when it gets bad. Even the President of the country needs an expert " independent " hairstylist/hairdresser to cut/style his/her hair. I know some people have a do it yourself policy . That's okay, but how long would they last. If we really learn to work with people, our INDEPENDENT stories would be beautiful. #onelookatyou
