It seems you originally had sung this
song. Try to discover the inner
meaning of the music because it is
said that “Music reaches your soul”.
Earlier we did not usually know the
better meaning of the song but used
to sing the lyrics with the flow of the
melody, But now since you have a lot
of time doing nothing you could
actually have a simple knowledge of
the meanings of the lyrics you could
feel it. Maybe you could relate them
with your life too, who knows. You
do not really have to know the
meaning of the whole song ora lot of
songs in a day that becomes boring.
Try doing it alternatively in a week or
so. I believe this is a great way to
spend some time in your quarantine.
Another way I could suggest to you.
Those who are quite learned in
playing guitar, piano or any sort of
musical instrument could hear out
this idea. The amateurs or novice
people can give it worth a shot too.
Try to come up with original things.
The world is in dire need of it. This
means attempting in making a song of
your own. It basically very simple but
it has to be given it a lot of time to
settle. Giving up easily would not
really work but once if you make a
song of your own, people will
appreciate a lot and a sense of pride
will definitely arise among you and
your family. Firstly work on the lyrics,
take time and start to come up with
some lines from a poem or your own.
It is completely fine if you are blank,

if then try listening to songs and take
out the most beautiful lines you love
to listen from that and keep it
separately. Merge those lines together
and use synonyms instead of the real
words. Try keeping it simple and
attach things from your daily life if
possible. Look around you and start
noticing the simplest of things and
noting them down. Observe the
infinite blue sky, the bright night sky
with the touch of the moon or the
glowing of the stars could help you
bring up some of the lines of your
song. If want to dedicate the song to
your close ones, be it your mother,
father or a ‘special’ one, attempt one
thinking about their smallest of details
that mesmerizes you. Keep the lyrics
closely related with your life. Picturing
them in your mind could easily bring
about a lot of things to write. This
lines could be in a form of a song a
story but if it does accomplishes your
feelings when someone listens to it
then surely people will respect it.
Now, for the tuning part, this part is
easy if you have heard a lot of songs.
Your song does not necessarily have
to all of the new tones or melody. If
you are using a guitar for example; try
using different chord progressions
and find out a melody. If you use the
same chords for the first two lines, try
to change one of them. Slowly and
steadily search for a tone or a scale
that would match your voice and the
lyric.
