in creating the song, there are some points that can be reference.

Here I'll try to describe them,

First Method

1.       Create the tone of the song at first.

The chords are free or you can create your own chords.

In my experience, I see the score of evaluation in my result of studying, I can see them as my recruits of the chords. 

For instance, the raw of my school score are  A,B,D,C,E.

Create the tones then.

You can choose Rock,  Grunge,  Blues, Melancholic, Malay, or Dangdut.

It's all up to you!

2.       Prepare the theme of the lyric as love, broken heart, cheery, social, etc.

3.       Create the lyric as you chose the theme.

If you don't have idea in creating the lyric you can try my way in solving it.

This is it. .

1.       You can walk around to your favorite places then have a note to any words or sentences that you find all the way you go there that you think it's interesting.

For instance : i'm going to the place which is called as pasar malam, on the way I look the word SWEAT and I write down it. Next, I see the  ROLLERCOASTER while I arrive. For me that is interesting, so I note it. After that I get the title of the lyric, I choose the theme of  love for example, so the title is ROLLERCOASTER’S LOVE. Isn't it easy?

2.       You also can do searching in internet, write down the interesting words.

3.       Take the title from another band or popular singers.

For instance, in my music folder in the computer, I see a song from a singer named CELINE DION with her song BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME. In my mind thi would be very good with the theme that I want to create and I note then.

Do the step 1-3 until the words that you note become a lyric for your song.

Don't have the words very same, get a change or you'll be accused for doing plagiarism.

Be as creative as possible!

4.       After that, just play the tone and the lyric, let it flow as you want it ( because an enjoyable song is the song which is created by heart) until the tone and lyric sound good. 

5.       Be aware of your mood! While your mood isn't good this might be seem difficult.

6.       Record the song that you made in recorder, for example MP3.

7.       Have people to listen your song and ask their comments. This is an evaluation to your song, let people give their score for your song.

Second Method

1.       Get the lyric at first, it can be from a poem, or people's story.

2.       Then have the tone!

The usual tones generally are C G Am Em F C Am G.

3.       Play the tones and sing the lyric in that tones until it sounds good, just follow your heart!

4.       Be aware to your mood.

When you have good mood, do it soon because ideas and imagination will be disappear if you don't use it soon.

5.       Prepare the recorder tool.

Record the song that you made so you can listen to it over and over again and as a reminder while you forget with the song that you made.

6.       Ask people listen to your song then have their opinions to evaluate your song!!

They are the tips that I have in creating a song.
