Welcome to No Limits Songwriting - Lyrics: Overcoming Writer's Block
My name is Nathan,
I made this course to make sure that you never get stuck in writing lyrics again... wether you start from chords, melody or lyrics... they all have to come back to lyrics...
I have designed specific exercises for you along with the theory being thought, This is a very PRACTICAL course and by the end you’ll have a ton of ideas for your next song and won’t be afraid to when you’re stuck. Don’t see homework, see growth work. Enjoy the process! =)
At the end of this process you will be be confident in starting and finishing the songwriting process and Implementing my personal Lyric Template into your own writing.

Another amazing toggling tool.
Ex. 5min
PROMT ( RIVERS)
Power word evoke emotion and some type of action along with that emotion. When we combine that with our Intent...
BOOM ? ? Best songs ever!!!!!
These are always around waiting for you to find and collide them.
If you ever get stuck or inspiration didn't help you with looking for power words or titles - go here ...
Amazon Books and type "Fiction/Romance/Thriller etc"and you will have LOADS of them coming your way!
We finally made it. This is the breakdown of how to use the Lyric Template with all that we've learnt so far.
Don't feel like you need to implement everything all at once. One step, song, exercise, piece of info at a time.
These simple melody shapes always help guide me.
Firstly where I am taking my song and where am I coming from.
I know this isn't a melody course but just this simple visualisation of seeing the shape of your melody will help you create your own melodies with more control and purpose.
Remember - every creative project first needs you to be as creatively free as possible. Use these SHAPES to guide your process when you get stuck and when you think your melody needs some working on.
I'll often critically analyse my songs melodies after the first draft then rewrite accordingly with fresh perspective and ears.
HAPPY WRITING ✍️
Final goodbyes but I don't want to give you all this information and not give you a chance to connect and take the next step by continually developing your craft.
I would love to INVITE you to a 14 Day Writing Challenge.
See the attachment: there are 14 Days worth of prompt words.
15 min per day
3x Writing Prompts a day
2-5-8min
I usually do most of my creative writing ✍️ exercises in the mornings before I do anything else. Whatever works for you, wake up your inner writer and get cracking on making him/her 'writing fit'
Get comfortable> Turn off All distractIons> Stick to the time> Pens down when the alarm goes off
These challenges are best done with a community. It always helps to keep each other accountable so get a few songwriting friends and do this together.

Hi, I'm Nathan
I have developed a step-by-step course blending a creative idea generating approach with a structured template to capture and present your ideas to your screaming fans!
Let's face the music, a song without lyrics is an instrumental... Put lyrics and a voice behind it and you have the magic which is your favourite song speaking directly to who you are and what makes you human.
The music industry revolves around one thing: THE HIT SONG and the SONGWRITER. Without songs there is no industry... or no STAR.
Whatever your approach to songwriting, whatever your skill level. Whether you start with lyrics/chords/melody/hooks, the music you write will crave a lyrical concept that makes it relatable to an audience.
The ABSOLUTE WORST FEELING in the world is having something to say and not knowing how to say it. i.e. WRITER'S BLOCK.
This course comprises of 5+ hours of interactive videos where I lead you along the journey of LYRICAL LIBERTY. Each section has great knowledge nuggets, exercises, song studies and resources building towards a STEP-BY-STEP 'Writing Process Mind-Map' and 'Lyric Template'. At the end of this course you will be empowered with TOOLS not RULES to approaching songwriting and not just leave your next hit to chance.
When you apply these resources and tools to any ideas generated before or through-out the course you will have a FULLY FINISHED and RECORDED SONG ready for your audience to indulge.
(No I am not teaching how to produce the song, just write it organically with structure that will be ready for recording)
Can't wait to hear the fruits of your labor and investment.
Let's get started !
Please send me a DM on Instagram @NathanJean.Music I would love to connect with you
