If there was a "Write" way to go about "Righting" a song, then I somehow surely must have missed it.  Those who know the secret of successful song synthesis, are not only on the "payroll", but they seem to magically and efortlessly spill out song after song.

Does a composer hear it then lay it down, or is it perhaps they exact opposite way all around.  Is a composition written, for the satisfaction of the writer, and then happens to please the listener, or is the "great" songwriter intentionally giving other "ears" just what they want to hear?

Because there seems to be a "Right" way to "Write a song, and I haven't got a clue, I have often wonder, what methods do YOU use?

Is it about improvisation, and then some recalculation, or more about systematic and intentional motives, melody, and harmonization?

 Blessed with a gift, a talent, or a muse, and surely there must be a template, a method that they use.
