Do i have to know how to play an instrument to write a good song?

well i love to write songs, and i’ve written quiet a few now but many without instruments.So do i HAVE to know how to play an instrument to write a really good song, because some of my best songs i wrote, i did without any instruments at all. So please if you have any tips, advices, or anything at all that would help! Thanks!

Do piolet mechanics know how to fly a plan? Nope- But if they didn’t know how to fix them, the piolet couldn’t fly them! Does a drywaller know how to build a house? Nope- But he knows how to put up the walls and without that it wouldn’t be a house. You don’t need to know how to play an instrement- HOWEVER, to write a good song you have to know about music. Not just, I like that song- and these words sound good- I’d recommend getting some music background my friend!! However, not knowing won’t make you a total failure! Good Luck!!

    You can get music programmes that help you create songs without instruments. I think….

    you don’t have to know how to PLAY the instrument, you just have to know how the notes in your music sound so while you are writing the song, you can "sing" it out in your mind to make sure ot sounds right

    you don’t HAVE to, but its very helpful. if you are writing songs with accompaniments, not just A-capella pieces, It is at least very helpful to have knowledge about instruments timbre and what works with what.
