1) “Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than the one where they sprang up.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes

Even if working with others isn’t your thing, you should step outside your comfort zone and give it a try. Collaboration opens horizons and will help introduce fresh ideas into your songwriting process.

2) “Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure.” – Petrarch

At some point as a songwriter, you’ll probably realize you’re using a similar chord progression in multiple songs you’ve written. Try changing up your chord voicings (such as shifting the register). This will not only make your songs sound different, it may also spark a different perspective in your songwriting.
