In a songwriting context especially, any time I often here this discussed its very often an artist saying something like "Oh I just try to write what I hear in my head" like okay.. well what if you don't really hear anything in your head? Maybe I'm just not creative enough but I can say like 98% of everything I've ever written came from messing around on my instrument. I've sat for long periods trying to generate music in my head and it's rarely useful. Is this just something some people have and others don't? I find it a bit discouraging in a way hearing artists I admire say so often how they hear music in their heads and I just don't seem to have that very often. What about you guys?
