True Storys
by: Stacey Smith

Try Writing about true storys , like your ow life and what your going through, its something that helps the most. As a very young songwriter its mostly easy for me because I still have questions that I can use in my writing. Always use 'I love you ' in a love song. You dont have to its just that people will understand it better as a love song.

Songwriting
by: Anonymous

when writing a song you can have hidden meaning in it. What i mean by that is you can write about a song that sounds like it is a song about love for example but than to you it means something completely different. Also although they come from the heart when you write from personal experiences you don't always have to use that to inspire you to write a song. You can write about a storyline of a book that you have read or maybe something you have seen like a movie or tv show. you can put your self in somebody else's situation and write about it as if you are that person going through it.

these are just some of the things i do wen i write songs they are just ideas you don't have to use them

Emotion In Song
by: Under The Guillotine

A suggestion I have is to experience all the different emotional states you can, i.e. being angry about something, a heartbreak, being in love, etc. Whatever you do though, do not write a song that is meant to hurt someone because it can lead you to trouble. Keep your songs anonymous and full of emotion.

Be yourself
by: Carly

when you right a song be yourself don't ever listen to what anyway one says listen to your heart right a song from you heart and not from your head when your right a song right away it doesn't make a differ if you right whats in the inside not the outside you can right about a bad day at school or your crush or even your feelings about someone o something and if you don't like someone you can make it an angrey song what ever you want to right aout that caouse from your feelings your heart just not what anyone wants you to be be who YOU are here is a good line to get you started if you have a crush: If i could make love twisted i would but i can't so i have to deal with conaquenses. There you go! hope you enjoy writing songs a much as i do!

Whatever you have in your mind put it down.
by: Eugene Mason

When I write my lyrics I put down the first things that come up to mind. That could be if you've just had a good or a bad day. Then, when you have everything down, you can tweakit to your liking.

Masterpiece
by: Robin Doak

When writing a song never think you have created your Masterpiece, always say to yourself that i can create a better song, but never think "this is my Masterpiece, i will never write anything better than this" because you will always create better and more brilliant songs than the last. keep at it and focus on what you love doing. i dont write songs for money, if i feel my songs will inspire poets, crowd's etc... to do what they love doing... then thats my fortune there, not money.

Be Yourself
by: Your Name Here

It matters most whether your yourself, or someone your not in your songs. Most people like honest songs which tell about their loves, feelings and what has happened before they wrote it. So be yourself and the song will come flowing out of your mind.

tip for destiny/life songs
by: Anonymous

when you write a rock song you can say the song as in encouraging someone to be more and more confident to improve life. for example- keep the faith, think that you can do it, be confident. and remember the song should be a bit rhyming for it to be more interesting for people to read.add the main lines of the song in a fast tune . use words like destination, spirit , confidence etc.start the song with slow tune and end it with a fast one .thank you . hope my tip would help you.

Songwriting Tip
by: Bri

When you write a song, it's best to write about your own experiences. It's easier that way and it'll make it more real for the listener.

my tips
by: James Montgomery

I'm starting an electronic metal band and every time i write lyrics it doesn't happen when I try and force it. Just go about your life normally but the second you feel an emotion describe it in words and save it as a draft in your phone, this guarantees you wont lose it. listen to as many kinds of music as you can an hybrids of different types like linkin park. These will let your emotions work into their own sound and won't be forced into a genre they don't belong, half of my lyrics could never be used in my band, but the more you write the better you get

becoming a singer
by: stephanie

if u want to be a singer jus follow your dream and keep trying hard don't just leave it to waste because when u see someone else take your place you will just feel down and there will be nothing you can do about it because then you will want to start trying to take your place from that person but you won't be able to reach that person's standrd level. please use my example to the best of your ability.

wordplay etc..
by: johnn

use wordplay, metaphores, self-coined terms etc.. something which will show the listener how you look at or approach the theme on which you focus.

I'll keep it short!!!
by: Justine

Most people write songs and write them about similar things to what the stars have but they've only written about what they feel so you should do that too - write what you feel!

$$$
by: Any Mouse

These tips are ridiculous. Tip number two is: "stop thinking about money". Obviously money is all the creator of this site was thinking about judging by the number of ads on each page.

Eminems style
by: Anonymous

Stock up. Read the dictionary alot. Have as many words as you can at your disposal. Keep all your rhymes on paper near by when writing so you can use your best ones
