Creating the vibe during your songwriting stage will help you point you in the right direction. I believe it will help you to finish writing your songs, not just start writing your songs. I've been songwriting like this for a while now, and the clear direction it provides makes it a really valuable songwriting technique, and should certainly be one of your favourite tools to write a song. From here you can write a melody, you can write chords, you can write rhythms, and you can write harmonies
