Your chords may already know what your song is about. Play the same starting chord, then change what comes next. Notice how an F-sharp minor chord creates a feeling of tension or unfinished business, while a D major chord can make the same moment feel lighter and more resolved. We send emotional messages through chord progressions all the time, but we don’t always listen closely enough to reflect those messages in our lyrics. The next time you’re searching for a song idea, pay attention to how your chords make you feel. Do they suggest longing, relief, uncertainty, hope, or resolution? Let that feeling guide the story your lyrics want to tell. Save this songwriting exercise for the next time you feel stuck. #chords #chordprogression #songwriting
