I wanna write cool songs like yours but I have trouble finding a cool melody that fits with a cool chord progression. Got any tips?
try starting with a melody. actually, the way i do it, the words+melody+chords usually hit all together, but i'm suggesting melody first for you because you've already been doing chords first. try to get words involved immediately also. whether the words are actually in the melody, or in between the melodies, or maybe just put a large sticker label on the song, with a word on it, and that may inspire some melodies to come out
