The Song Split
Artists think they need new ideas every day. They actually need one song and a splitter — the ideas are already written, three minutes at a time.
Take your latest song. Write the six splits as one-line answers, right now — origin, line, meaning, making, performance, world. You just planned a month.
Run itHow to run it
- 1
Pick one song — your newest, or your realest.
- 2
Write its six splits: THE ORIGIN (where the song started) · THE LINE (one lyric and its story) · THE MEANING (what it's actually about) · THE MAKING (a studio or process moment) · THE PERFORMANCE (you, playing a section) · THE WORLD (the visual mood it lives in).
- 3
Each split becomes one post, paired with the matching section of the song as its sound.
- 4
Schedule the six across two to four weeks. A ten-track project run this way is a full season of programming.
