One concrete image, one situation, a title, a rule to write within and chords to start from. Keep the parts you like and redraw the rest.
A prompt gives you something to see (an object), something at stake (a situation) and a limit. Write for ten minutes, record a rough take and decide later if it is a song.
In Zoundroom, paste the prompt into a new note in a song project, write under it and record your first take inside the note.
Something small you can see, tied to a moment that matters to you. A spare key under a mat says more about a relationship than the word “love”. The prompt pairs an image with a situation so you start from a scene.
No. Use whatever gets you writing. Many writers keep only the title or the image and throw the rest away; the constraint is there for when the words come too easily.
Yes. The prompts are starting points; what you write with them is yours.
It doesn’t write any lines for you. It gives you material and a limit, and you write the song.
