In this short tutorial segment, the presenter walks through the exact workflow they use each week in the Song Club to turn a word‑set prompt into a fresh song concept. They display the current prompt—a set of two words, "coat" and "hush"—set a five‑minute timer, and then engage in a rapid stream‑of‑consciousness writing exercise, copying the first word, then the second, and letting ideas flow freely for the full five minutes. The resulting draft is shown, with the prompt words highlighted to illustrate how the set seeds lyrical material. The segment serves as a practical, step‑by‑step illustration of a timed, word‑driven ideation technique for songwriters.
