Writing melodies that reflect your emotions

After seeing how popular my post on choosing chord progressions that reflect your emotions was, I wanted to offer another way of approaching heartfelt songwriting — that is, starting with a melody first and choosing your chord progressions afterwards.

In this video, I demonstrate my process for infusing my emotions into a melody and then choosing a chord progression that feels right for it.
