Message and feeling. These 2 components would be the important considerations of any musician or songwiter to be transferred to the listeners. They depend on many factors like the culture we live in, our characters, loves, hates, level of knowledge, etc.

Please tell a bit about your culture. Any thing causes you to differ from other countries. By nowadays communications this may seem not interesting but it is important because we are got effected from the society around us.

About the message:
1- Are you a songwriter?
2- What are your favorites and how you express them?
3- Which messages for which genres?
4- Should it be in the form of vocal?
5- Do you mostly like to make your audiences to think or just have good impressions on them or none of them?

About the feeling:
1- What are your considerations?
2- Do you mostly think about yourself or your audiences?
3- What are your powerful sensations that you want to insert them in your tracks?

Or any similar subjects related to this thread.
Thanks so much!

I'm not a songwriter, so I'll pass the message. About the feeling:
1- My first consideration is being melodic. The piece I write and make should have a nice unique melody. Then I work on sound quality. Determining the proper instruments for the melody is my another consideration. I feel like I have to choose the best ones. So I try almost all kind of instruments. Then I find the genre.

2- I firstly think about myself. I have to like what I'm working on, then my close friends and some random guys on internet :} If they like it too, I believe my audience will follow. If they dislike it, I can delete the whole work, so I think mostly about my audiences.

3- I like adding bridges. So I usually start slowly and build it up until chorus. The bridge and the beginning of the chorus is my favorite part. I want my listener to feel the change and rising up. The listener should see my music as his/her life's soundtrack.

 

Message:
1: Yes.
2: My favorite what?
3: Why discriminate, sterotype or pigeonhole? Perhaps I don't understand this item.
4: The lyrical message should be deliverd in the vocal. The musical message should be in the instrumentation and its performances.
5: I should hope that my audience is able to think, but if imbeciles like my music, that's cool. Unfacetioously speaking, I write songs which have "intelligent" lyrics, most of which stand on their own as poetry; sometimes with double meanings in words or phrases which compound the poetics with meta-significance. The musical aspects (melody, mood signified in the chords, arrangement, et al.) are either "appropriate" to the "message" of the lyrics or ironically juxtaposed in tone – such as a pretty melody and gentle-sounding arrangement accompanying a lyric of scathing criticism or perverse subject matter. Either way, the music is somehow in service of the lyric.

Feeling:
1: About what?
2: I express myself; I do not try to anticipate any potential listener's response nor how a song "should" make someone feel.
3: Emotions.
