https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-05.html | why did you change your answer for that fav question? by the way i fully agree eith everything you're saying about favourites, it doesn't make sense to have favourites because everything is made up of several different qualities that make up a thing and you may really like certain aspects of things at certain times and dislike different aspects of the same thing at different times, its crazy to decide that any one thing is something that you like above all other things and sometimes even vague comparisons between two things can be hard unless given criteria for why you would prefer another | it was a tough question, and it really got to me. maybe because the person called me a douche. it kept bothering me an hour later so i revised the answer, which i do sometimes with difficult questions. i'm so glad to hear that someone gets where i'm coming from on this issue |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-05.html | I'm a poet and wonder if song is the next form of my art. I have little skill in music; words are my clay, and I can sculpt them to any shape I desire...but what is the link between the beauty of words and the resplendence of music? | there are many different ways of doing all this, but in my experience, the music picks up a lot of the slack. most great songs look very short on paper (if you just look at the lyrics), and also look very nothing. most times when people write things that are meant to stand on their own without music, and then try to put to music, there is usually way too much content to fit in a song, and often there are many words that look good on paper but just aren't very singable. then again, this can be done many many different ways. the only way i know is to do it all at the same time. i think songwriting might be more similar to writing a script for a movie than poetry. |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-05.html | Do you know your Myers-Briggs type? Even though I don't know you personally, I feel like you are an INFP due to your shyness, emotional sensitivity, and empathy for other people. You don't seem to harbor any negative emotions toward anybody, except yourself, which is a strong sign of dominant Introverted Feeling, which is the leading cognitive function of INFPs. You are also very creative and break the rules with your videos and go off on a tangent frequently, which hints towards a high Extraverted Intuition, which is the auxiliary function of INFPs. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you can look at your description here: https://www.16personalities.com/infp-personality Sorry if this was a little creepy, I just love your videos :) | |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-05.html | do you feel relevant? | to what |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-05.html | ok i've got first verse, chorus, second verse, second chorus. now what? | take a deep breath, and run through the song. the song already has a strong identity. ask the song what it needs, if anything. to do this right, you need to keep cleaering your head and running the song from the beginning, and right as you are getting to the end of the second chorus, that's when you will have the clearest idea of what needs to happen. Remember to remain open to all possibilities! including nothing. this part of songwriting is something i call "finishing" because there is really no telling what it's going to need. every song is different. i've heard so many songs that in my opinion fail at 'finishing' because they didn't take proper care to figure out what's best for that song. in other words, having a bridge when there shouldn't be a bridge. having the wrong kind of bridge. bridges are unpredictable anyway and this ties in with the 'be open to anything' strategy. this is a very sensitive part of the process, and every song needs something distinctly different, and quite possibly nothing. you will only know clearly after doing a full run through, and start paying attention about halfway through second chorus. many times your next step will be something that almost interrupts the end of the chorus to go to a different thing. other examples of things that work in some songs are: another verse with no lyrics. another chorus with no lyrics. maybe a totally different thing with no lyrics. another chorus with different lyrics. a totally different thing with lyrics. but this is a sensitive issue and every song has very distinctive needs, so you need to make sure you are doing full run throughs and really let the song decide what it needs or doesn't need. |
