Brainstorming...

Brainstorming a track and working out where you think the track should go is a fun process, because it opens up your imagination and helps the flow of thought. When making a track that has a message behind it, you have to make sure you plan what the message is, and how you're going to portray it.

Story-boarding is a good way to do this, because it helps to visualise the path of the song and it's a simple guideline to work from. We have just started to story board ideas for a track, possibly on the theme of friendship and family, as this is one of the most important aspects of being part of a church and living a life with God involved.

Sometimes when it comes down to planning a song, finding inspiration can be difficult. As Christians however, we often spend a bit of time just praying, or talking to God and asking Him for inspiration. Doing this helps us to open our minds to what He wants us to do, and can often lead to a sudden wave of inspiration and ideas.
