Hey there,
Before RSS feeds you had to visit SongWritingFever.com every time you want to check if there is a new forum post or a blog post. Now, this information comes to you!
So this website was lacking RSS feeds for quite some time. As a first step, here’s RSS feed for SongWriting Fever Blog and an aggregated RSS feed for our new songwriting forum: RSS Feeds
Both feeds are available as raw RSS and through feedburner. You can also subscribe to updates by email.

The SongWriting Fever Forums and private messaging system seemed to have some problems yesterday, but they have announced that everything is back up and running smoothly now.
If you haven’t been over there yet (and you are a songwriter), check out the SongWriting Fever Blog

If you’re having problems with you’re songs beginning to sound the same, I’ve found that working with a diverse producer helps a great deal. Maybe you should even think about the music you listen to. Try listening to different styles of music, I did a search and found unbelievable amounts of songs from all over the world and although i couldn’t understand the lyrical content due to the language barrier the melodic detail blew me away! Now I’ve been inspired in a totally different way

It’s nice to hear that SongWriting Fever Blog will be updated with new content soon, after an extended absence.
I recommend this site, and look forward to the updates.

The earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan late last week impacted me more than most natural disasters do. I’m not sure why exactly, though I have some theories. One of my very good friends was drowned in a riptide in Panama a few years ago, and there are definitely echoes of his passing in the footage I’ve seen of Japanese cars and homes and people being swept away. Same goes for one of my favorite ever drummers, Mieszko Talarczyk of the Swedish grindcore band Nasum, who was killed by the tsunami in Thailand in 2004. I think it’s especially affecting to see a country that we hold up as an exemplar of technological and engineering achievement be ravaged by the same natural forces that have existed since the beginning of time. Mankind can strive for dominion over the earth as much as it wants. Mother Nature will still take her toll.
Like many of you, I turn to music to help in tough emotional times. Here are a few Japanese artists that I turn to for healing. In the comments field, let us know what music has helped you get through difficulty.

COREY STEWARD REPORTS:
I want to let you know that I have shifted my songwriting blog over to WordPress and have renamed it Songwriting Zen.
The reasons for this move are many and varied and I wont go into them here.
I want to thank the people of Quikonnex for hosting Corey Stewart Songwriting Tips and my other blogs for the past 4 years.
I also want to thank everyone who has visited my blog, read my posts and made comments. The interaction with you all is fantastic and extremely valuable (even though I’ve been a bit slow in replying to some of you).
You can now find me at Songwriting Zen.
Until next time, keep on writing,
Corey Stewart

Hello Everyone,
So I’ve been under the hood the past six weeks developing a solution for a feature that you’ve all been requesting:
Music Upload
Yes! you can now upload your music in mp3 or midi on your profile and also download and stream other members’ music.

One thing I’ve enjoyed over the years is collaborating with songwriters all over the globe via the internet.
I’ve had collaborators in Australia, Canada and other parts of the USA whom I’ve never met. And yet we make beautiful music together.
One fellow out on the east coast was not only one of the best I’ve run into, but he came to San Diego for ComiCon a few years ago and we actually got to meet.
Another one was just down the road a few miles and we wrote some terrific things — and got to meet a few times.
If you have songs that need some finishing — whether you need lyrics or melodies — I found a great resource.
SongWriting Fever Blog is very democratic. Any type of music, anything goes. Post your lyrics like a want-ad or post a request for collaborator like a lonely-hearts singles ad.
I think I know where I’ll find my next collaborator.
