"Inspiration exists. But it has to find you working." - Pablo Picasso.
All of this advice is 100% SPOT ON. I come up with so many great ideas on guitar when I have a quick strum before heading off to work in the morning. Contrary to what I believed in my younger days, morning is the best. Thanks for the great video!
Billy Corgan says always in the morning…
Hey Benny!
I love the metaphor of fishing and walking for inspiration! I do it everyday. Walk that is😆.
Now you inspired us to WRITE everyday!!
Thanks friend!🙋♀️🎶🔥
The Sodajerker podcast is what got me into trying to write my own songs. I stumbled across it while looking up Adam Duritz on the podcast app and there he was talking about his craft. I have also revisited many episodes, including the one you just spoke about with Noel, as well as the one with Neil Finn and many others. Forever grateful to Simon and Brian for the content they have provided us with and I listen to at least one episode a week. And, I have to say, your channel here is way up there for me too. Amazing content and knowledge you're passing on. Thanks so much, it's been a great help!
Spot on
Billy Corgan said he wrote Mellon collie whilst watching morning tv, and still writes every morning.
Morissey has said he writes all his lyrics whilst walking
Tori Amos has said it’s all about creating so much that it just becomes probability..
But you have to just keep creating and not get caught up on eventual duds.. just make it all. Then edit.
I have my best ideas or solve lyric problems whilst cycling to and from work…
Mark Twain was a walker.
Brilliant content! 👏 This method combined with daily object writing is really working for me!
Great video. Thanks for this. Noel is gifted as a songwriter and in verbalising his thoughts so clearly. His comments - and your video and comments - sum up songwriting so well, whichever way one chooses to do it.
Good video Benny, for me it’s a yes, yes and yes to all those methods. All I need now is Noel’s talent. 😊
You do you. There's title, write a song.
Wow, this is such a powerful video. Thank you for sharing this.
Very good advice, Bennie. Thank you for the tip. I have definitely come up with musical ideas when I’m walking or in situations away from my man cave music room. The phone comes in handy for capturing ideas.

Fishing is only stress free if your family is not hungry, if you really need to catch a fish it is not an enjoyable experience. Just as song writing.
Maybe you have taken that metaphor a little too literal and seriously. And maybe go and buy a fish from the shop if you need one that bad.
Very informative tutorial!!!!
JUST the exact video i needed to watch. Many thanks :)
Wow you made a video about my fav songwriter!
Wonderful video! 👍
I look forward to exploring tunes more since-to date-it’s the lyric that most often come to me first
When melodies occur to me they are almost in conjunction with the lyrical hook 🤷🏻
It would be satisfying to be a Bernie to some Elton somewhere 🤔
Keep up the great content
I don't have a single hit. I do however love your channel and Keppie too. I must say that I've been trying to put musical Ideas to work in the form of songwriting for 30 + years and for me , I love to keep working an Idea rewriting it 30 or 40 times to get to what I want to say as well as a different angle of saying it. I'm finally building two or three sections that prevent boredom as well as sing- along type choruses. It passes the time with no pressure , just the satisfaction of feeling the project progress. I know I suffer from being too close to a song to hear it from a fresh perspective, Ie) I like my songs. Haha. This is an interesting Idea from Noel Gallagher Thanks for sharing. I've never tuned in to your channel to find disappointment, you both are excited to share your craft and I thank you, on so many levels. If the song fills my void and speaks to my Idea, I gotta say, I'm satisfied. It's the mystery that keeps me coming back for more.
Hey check this, Try this, It's from what you said. Title- Being Too Close First line- I know I suffer, from being too close to _________.
___ hear your perspective. ( you can probably do better than that ending of that line.
What a cool video!
Love it!
Love this
Thanks Benny!
his analogy about go fishing for songs is amazing
Max ernst was petrified of the virgin canvas which is why came up with collage and frattage and paint dripping. He claims he gave that idea to Jackson pollak
*Pollock
I do a lot of writing in my head, problem is I’ve forgotten probably so many good songs 😂
Really trying to just write things down rather than come up with a complete song. Just trying to break a 15 year dry spell
Great video, im big fan of Oasis, i’ve been to their and the Chief’s gigs so many time over the years. Like or not he’s still around doing his passion n inspiring others, he’s real, oasis were real band, not a corp artist with so many song writers to help them to release a song. Cheers.
cool video
Now this makes perfect sense to me when I smoke weed or take lsd and pretend to paint or write a song,, sometimes magic happens
Hendrix used to noodle around on his guitar while watching cartoons, and some of the far-out sounds he came up with were inspired by them.
Noodling. I set aside 15-20 minutes at the end of each practice. That's when I come up with some of my best ideas
The weird thing is i a cidentally found out that i study best when diatracted. I just half watch tv half cram. For somr reason i remember things better when more is going on. It may be that otherwise i become too bored and just read but not take in any info at all.
Noel to me is the greatest, can’t believe in America they’re mainly just remembered for ‘Wonderwall’ - absolute madness
Its strange how we songwriters can come to the same process independently. I don't turn the sound down but everything else is identical. Big difference, I'm not having the Aha moments that pay off like Noel but I have worked with Mikey Rowe his keyboardist on my last record Lesser Humans.
He is in a meditative state channeling from a higher realm. duh
This.
John Lennon was a TV on writer
I was half expecting this video to just say “meth”
Id say greatest. Being prolific is not necessarily good
Great video. I’ve never wanted to listen to Oasis or Noel’s music cuz he always looks so angry and unhappy. Maybe I should listen to a song or 2. I’ve always been attracted to positive music and people like Yes.
You should definitely listen to his music. You'll find he is an extremely positive music writer. Most of his songs are about enjoying life, following your dreams, getting up when you're down, and not letting anyone or anything get in your way to achieving what you want in life. Even his sad songs have hope in them.
You have a brother like that you'd look angry
He also steals ideas and that's coming from a rusted on fan since the 90s. Outside of the well known musical ideas he has borrowed from other artists for his songs he even takes analogies on his writing process from others. the fishing analogy was from Fran Healy (Travis) back in an interview decades ago and he was talking about song writers like himself and Noel. The music first and don't worry about the lyrics approach was also paraphrasing Kurt Cobain in an interview he gave on his writing process.
Well. It's either music furst and lyrics later or lyrics furst and music later. Shame on noel for not being in the other camp as most obviously he was copying Cobain by being in the 1st....ffs
As for "fishing" it's a standard metaphor. It was invented way before our time.
Get a clue
@@zarni000 you seem pretty angry. Angry enough that you post this kind of response to a UA-cam comment. Are you ok? I hope you get the help you need and also improve on your reading, writing, and comprehension skills in the future. Byyyyeee
@@bkmail81 lol. Not angry at all just annoyed at peopkes stupidity exhibited in that post.. that's an angry post...but misplaced anger.. shoukd be angry at yourself for being this dumb.. Take your meds dude. And I don't care a damn about spelling when I'm typing on phone.
Cmon he was ripping off the Beatles like hell !
Personally id take what Noel says with a pinch of salt haha. It’s been proven the claims of writing songs on a train or when the band is having a Chinese are not true. He’s famous for never telling the truth about how he writes
Nobody likes to give away their tricks
or he will find a song he likes and rip it off....
And make it better
Arlo Guthrie talked about songwriting at a concert many years ago, and he used the fishing analogy. He talked about his dad mentoring Bob Dylan. Then he added, "It's better to not fish downstream of Bob Dylan."
Thanks for this video 🙏🏻🤍
Well done, glad I watched this. Makes sense to me, gotta go fishing 🎣🦦
