is that your actual voice. Are you a douche sounding Englishmen? hahahahahaha
That's so true I do the same thing I can't force my self I let it come in natural
As a songwriter, i absolutely agree with Post that a really good song comes from a organic process. Whenever i try to make a song with the mindset of getting something good from it, it never flows.
doesnt get much more organic than taking a shit
This video helped me remember and understand that i can’t control my inspiration, and that i have to stay true to Myself. Thanks Post and the people who put this compilation of videos together, well done.

@DHunter_47 do you often bask in non sequitur?
This is 100% true; my ideas usually come at random, unplanned times.
Yeah, like in bed at 2am
😆
@@Binge-Minge 😂, yup.
100%? Are you sure? His songs are are a recipe like almost all pops songs
The thing they all have in common is inspiration. As long as there’s inspiration you can create anything
Writing a hit song ain't hard, I know many songwriters who have not one, but many great songs which will never be heard. The hard part for most artists is distributing it and making money out of it. Marketing is the genius of most successful musicians, not product.
Too true man!
How many hits Songs u have written? Talkin bout ain’t hard 😂
@@Orderftw782 When you learn how to write English for that matter, we can talk again.
@@romulo353 ur a nobody. Do something first then bark or else you’ll just make a fool out ur self just like u did now
@@romulo353 talkin bout hit song ain’t hard 💀💀 dmb as how many u got 😂🤣😭
Its not the song its the package. The person delivering the song is everything. Not to mention lables not so subtle way of planting it into our minds
I'm a writer and Post's process is amazingly similar to my own. He talks about how it just comes "naturally" and without force. I don't even think I do anything more than go into a fugue state and type. Next thing I know, the story or essay is done.

very true. So many times I had writers block and could not for the life of me force myself to finish what I was writing, but later it would just come to me
My trick is just to write nonsense and then change it later. Often halfway through writing something stupid and meaningless the right line will come to me.
Some of my best songs that I wrote just came to me....I just got on the mic n started recording phrases n once I finish, I'm always amazed
Hit songs required a few ingredients good melodies, catchy hooks and decent lyrics. Coming up with the catchy melodies and make everything blend in is the hard part it requires creativity and talent
It’s hard in the beginning.
finally someone who does what I do. drink beer, put on a beat, hit record and see what sounds good!!!
Sharppp
He uses the word "sir" a lot. ❤
I have been listening to post for a very long time I must say you are a great and natural writer
Im truly adore Post Malone.
Yeah, he's the best!
As an artist myself i am super grateful for this video!
I made a lot of songs back then, called "follow me, try again, and a lot more.." so its so easy for me to understand him..
The narrator makes me feel like we're about to see two post Malone's charge each other for dominance over a fish
thanks for this compilation.
Post malone is such a kind person to everyone, just a good dude
he needs a G2M box
guitar to midi :) use it too its great
I agree with this 💯 I write all my songs spur of the moment and I have some really nice ones that are definitely hit material.
Make UA-cam shorts lip singing the song and post it a million times if it’s a hit UA-cam will let you know and people will use the sound in their shorts and it’ll be a hit
Your ideas are far from mistakes, it is very organic. Your sound, style, personality, is just plain fucking cool. His music really is spiritual to alot of folks. Thank you sir, you are an exceptional story writer/singer/songwriter/actor & I believe you are a true empath that works on the musical concert level.
thank you post 🙏🌺
great videos, cant wait for more :)
Glad you like them!
Honestly, out of all the songs I've ever recorded. The song that flowed to me the most natural way, is my MOST liked/streamed song out my whole catalog. It showed me that, when you're trying "too hard" with the lyrical miracle, bragadocious stuff, it comes off less authentic. BE AUTHENTIC. LET IF FLOW. It doesn't always have to be about crazy rhymes.
SN: I wrote this song passed midnight. Literally looking up at the stars at night. Today, it's my most streamed song. And to think, i debated on even dropping it. Im glad I DID.
Drop yoo name bro
Yeah bro lemme hear
that magic thing is the soul you put in to it. its a part of you that comes out.
Interesting video, cheers from Germany
He says yes sir every time, that’s so polite.
Facts, I’ve written many songs in the shiter as well 😂 also dont force it, make use of prompts but sometimes it just comes to you.
Finding the worth in the tangents of creation and shaping the worth within the little nuggets of tangential creativity and non-linear planning is the genius of creatively producing sounds
I want to collaborate with post one day, see if it comes to pass
So young, so handsome and so dang talented!
Its so hard to write great songs and definitely hard to "produce" it after its written,,I HATE doing it by myself for real.
I feel this!
Writing is easy to me.. but producing vocals and mixing it.. I can't get it down for the life of me. I been self learning for a couple years. I got the basics of compression, eq, reverb, etc .
Mixing or producing is the hardest part for me.
You can’t rush creative prosess
Discipline and Focus can also bring results. Intent and Purpose also will drive Creativity. I cannot afford to wait around for inspiration. I look for it. And then work at it.
Just do it your own way ✌️
Wow! This dude is something!
He's right!
A hit song or award winning performance
..it must come from your passion, your expression!
you can't really control the process.
Madonna once said " It's all about the work, the project. Success is a byproduct of the work."
Anyone can do an impression of a singer or actor.
To do something Original, Something that Hasn't been done a hundred times....Whoa!
Malone is original and different from the rest!
His brutal honesty, a sense of organic and familiar...
His " I've effed up, but I'm still trying to be happy!"
Is what he brings to his music.
His song Chemical......
it's probably too honest for some.
too candid, explicit
That's what makes it cool!
He's Not afraid to admit he effed up!
So many performers act as though they execute everything perfectly!
Malone isn't like that!
He's Honest and he appreciates his fans!
Shaping the shotgun blast of creative tangents into a Lazer guided idea; is a gifted producer's talent
Let's be honest people half the songs he writes aren't just completely done by him

Brilliant

I love how he addresses people by sir
This video hits hard
Maravilhoso❤❤❤❤
Yeah, it shows Post!
Good video! Thank you!
I fuckin love this guy❤
10% music 90% promo
I feel everything he’s saying doing this for over 10 years I feel it
When im making a song i have to had gone through something that brings up strong emotions for me personally that’s always how I find my hook and everything else comes together eventually
He speaking facts
Well I most say this the hardest audience honestly talking is UA-cam you can make music because you love music that’s fine , he is right about those inspirations moments that you make sure you make notes but there is something else that must of them still keep secret
who is the band at 1:41 ? please they look cool
Post Malone is a method actor his father owns the football stadium where the Dallas Rams play. He was put into this position. I know artists in the music industry that have personally written and write for Post Malone. I still love his music it is what it is. F the fame
The pressureforcing a passion into a job is the death of creativity
Wow. This is exactly what I do. Interesting
Are there any tips on wirting a song being a feature
*SHOCKING REVELATION*
ITS COMPLETELY UP TO THE ALGORITHM!
Ha bro..the algorithm isnt real for major label artists. Theres partnership deals and licensing stuff on the back end.
How can you not love Post Malone
I have lucid dreams. When I awake, I hum the melodies into my voice memos app. Once I start working on the foundation of the melody, I start building a song structure around it. Listen to A Village of Vigils
Dang i guess everyone got that and theres nothing special about it then
Thank you for this.

I agree with post malone
ALWAYS record an idea on the phone! damn, this is something everyone should write down...
I Always get Song Ideas when taking a shower or Laying in Bed.
I’ll show this video to my wife when she asks why I’m taking so long on the shitter lol
fabulous
Wow I can't believe you guys got David Attenborough to narrate this.
~🦾⚡⚡⚡💡👑🦾The Opening Intro lines of the Legend Post Malone..LOLOLOL...1LOVE
yeah music sometimes happens but you gotta remember those musicians who stood the test of time sat down and WROTE music. BWV 565 didn't he happen on a toilet seat bach wrote the thing by knowing the language of notes and how to use them to make sentences that are understandable by anyone.
0:10 "We see the wild post malone in his natural habitat"📸
1 of not even a handful of musicians that can cover Bob fkn Dillion. He ain't even started to shine yet .!?? Love you Austin..❤❤❤
Bob Dylan and many artist have covered Dylan tunes. That said Post is still amazing
I just saw a whole new side to him.
he is right. Sometimes you hop on a beat and u destroy all of them. When you learn form it, next time you will be able to make 60% of that moment even when u dont feel like creating. But most bangers arfe like " fuck, this is nice melody, let me freestyle it"
One would say his ideas flow out of him.
A trully artist.
Ty post ❤
wow!
soon as he mentions bud light the video ends. #RipBudLight he knew
He don't know how to write hit song but he can make song and music that he be
Happy accidents show themselves and stand out among others
I write my own music, I have 0 confidence to make actual songs, but I can agree, coming up with lyrics come at the most random times. I usually write my music when I’m laying in bed at night and I’m watching UA-cam videos 😂 it’s weird.
Sameeeeee

"karim benzema" if he eats usa foods
Most of this music is written while taking a shit. this explains a lot.
There's no guarantee that a song is going to be a hit and I don't think there's anything like a hit song.
You just get into the studio and grind, I have seen overlooked songs become the career changing song
pero que hit escribio este hombre que no escuche ninguno?
it's called creativity.
Step 1: Have major label promoting and spreading your music

This
Post Malone writes songs based on what he just listened to - there's a ton of STP, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden riffs (and even melodies) in many of his songs and I cannot believe he hasn't been sued into bankruptcy yet for ripping everyone off.
It’s a stupid simple solution for making good music that took me five years to figure out. If you don’t genuinely love what you’re making, odds are most people won’t either.
Real
Lol even when he's wearing a suit he looks so dam scruffy 😅
Post malone peaked at BB & B and Hollywoods bleeding...now its a bunch of Target and JC Penny exclusive albums.
You can’t force inspiration…you’ll get hemorrhoids. You’ve got to naturally let everything come out…also stay hydrated and possibly up your fiber😂
🙏🏼
How to make a hit song… have rich parents first.
He’s right
When ur fked up ideas just sound better so you try it
⚡️Post Malone, creating is to devise a plan it or think it up. Being a musician with prodigious talent, you even illuminate a path forward with a elective Legendary eloquence with mastery’s of expression , captivating melodies that sustains. Post molone transforms a transcendent creation with magination in writing songs into melody of performance. What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful”. Berne Brown.
This is hilarious to me
@@joemanco1075 you mean Hilarious like the jokers that go to prison and study the dictionary and when they come out they try to sound smart using the new words they learned but end up sounding like clowns ? Hilarious like that ?
@@wb3213 Yes and on a musical level Posts music is not close to being prodigious.
