So you can just let go and let the the gibberish fly unincumbered by your ego and personal judgement. It's best to do this alone with just you and your instrument in a safe and cozy place. To do this successfully you've got to learn to let go of your ego completely. So I get that out first and then piece together what it(I) was trying to say. It almost like my subconscious self has something to say that I was not aware of just yet. Also, the wonderful melodies that can be achieved this way when there's no pressure to try and squeeze lyrics into an already built structure. I've surprised myself many times, the thoughts and lyrics that come rushing out of my mouth on a whim, just singing nothing. This exercise sort of relates to the "Steam of consciousness" writing. This is probably because when you're just singing the gibberish it naturally just sort of fits/melds with the song.

When doing it this way, I find that the lyrics that eventually come from it flow much better and feel less forced. It's then I can go back and listen and start piecing together that emotion and gibberish into lyrics. Sure, you have no true concrete lyrics, but if you let yourself go in that moment, lots of times you'll find yourself fleshing out a great melody and also the emotion of the song. You'd be surprised when taking this approach. I liken it to those religions that speak in "tongues". there's no reason not to, delete it later if nothing comes from it) It's then, I go back and listen to my gibberish and form lyrics from them. I set my recorder to record myself singing gibberish. Have you ever come up with a good chord arrangement that you like and just started singing whatever comes out of your mouth? Sort of gibberish? That's where most of my songs start. For me, most of my success has come from the opposite way. It's So easy for them to feel forced and just jammed into your chord progression. It's always been more a challenge for me to write lyrics first and then melody.
