Restrictions. "Write a song" is the worst and most frustrating sentence I've ever heard. Write me a funeral dirge in C#minor set to a random Latin mass. Write me a punchy brit-pop tune and keep it under 3 minutes. You know that one song? Write me a song like that. Narrowing down things is the easiest way to get started. Pick a key. Pick a progression. Pick a sound you want to imitate. Keep it simple. There's plenty of time to make it more complex. Also- JUST START!
