Lyric writing help; lyric songwriting. Great tips from our visitors.Elaine from Los Angeles, United States writes: As a singer-songwriter, it's helpful to vary the theme of your songs on an album...they can't *all* be about that guy who dumped you. And they can't all be dirges. [ Lyric songwriting; lyric writing help. Tip from Elaine. ] Have fun, you don't have to be intense and/or morose all the time. Think of things you like when you hear them on the radio.
Never forget this is a relationship business. Arguing, fighting, not paying, sue-ing.......not smart...you'll be labeled a trouble maker, and no one will want to work with you. Elaine from Los Angeles, United States writes: (2)
If you want to have a song played on the radio, know that: It can't be longer than 3:30 min. You can't take a long time for the first line of the lyric to kick in. Equally, you can't wait too long to get to the Hook. If you don't care about being signed to a label or being played on the radio, feel free to disregard this info. Tuscany from Indianapolis, United States writes: Go sit right outside wherever you are at the moment and look around. Seriously look! Then, write down a word for EVERYTHING you see/feel/hear. (I got this from a teacher. She called it 'no-brainers', b/c it takes no brain power). You know, like tree, green, sky, clouds, breese, ground, rain, happy, sad, birds, ducks, cars, etc. After having a decent sized list going, stop and pick three (or however many words you want) and write about them. The world's greatest musical works have come from nature. Hope you find your own beat there as well.
