Real question: How do any of you actually finish songs? It's something I always struggle with. I often find myself just writing a section and then listening back to it over and over for the enjoyment of it with no idea or drive to add to it. Just me?

Also donβt necessarily think about every idea has to be the final form, try multiple versions of the song with different ideas for the missing sections and live with them

When writing professionally thereβs no way out but to finish. Give yourself a deadline of 1-2 days max. When you get an idea down for a section, start working on the next section. Who cares if itβs not the greatest, you only get better when you finish over and over again

Bounce your song to audio stems and remix it

I feel this. I've been pushing myself more recently to get out of loop mode, extend the arrangement, and begin purposefully stripping away/adding parts and automation. If I listen to any thing for too long, I get attached and the longer I do this it becomes harder to want to alter anything...

Ideally try and sketch out a rough arrangement immediately and as fast as possible as soon as you develop the initial idea. much easier if youβre playing a real instrument of course, but can be done in a daw. Even if the other sections are crap, you can change them later, theyβll start bugging you too much to leave

I follow a structure of what feels right- could be verse chorus verse bridge chorus - but taking the existing music and making it ebb and flow throughout the song
