The Earworm Eraser as a songwriting tool

The Earworm Eraser: break out of a creative loop.

Ever had a song, or part of a song, stuck in your head? That’s called an earworm.

For music fans, this can be either super fun and catchy, or maximum annoying, depending on the song.

For music makers, earworms are often frustrating, because they can lock you into a creative loop. Ever been trying to write a song and come up with a fun new idea, but you couldn’t quite shake that previous idea you didn’t like out of your head?

This is where the Earworm Eraser can help. For music consumers, it’s a great way to regain appreciation for new music you might not have heard before. Try using it when you’ve been listening to the same thing over and over, and are ready to freshen your ears up for something new.

For songwriters, give this a try when you hit a creative block. If you just can’t seem to come up with the right new idea for your song, or all of your recent ideas are sounding too similar to your older ones, throw this tool on and dust out the cobwebs.

It’s a simple YouTube video, and it works in about 30 seconds of listening.
