Songwiting idea and songwriting technique. Lyric writing tips from our visitors. Page 2.Take the tips and comments that you feel are helpful and discard those you don't agree with. Nikki from Valdosta, GA, United States writes: (TIP FOR WRITING SLOW/LOVE SONGS) When I'm really out of things to write about, I listen to a lot of love songs. I pick out all the songs that I can relate to (past relationships, what I'm feeling at that moment, etc..) I listen to those songs again and I can pick out a couple of lines that just pin-point how I'm feeling. I take those lines and make a similar line with different words. When you have enough lines, you can start rhyming more lines with those to make a song. [ Lyric writing tips, songwriting technique, songwriting idea ]
Ashley from Killen, United States writes: Try writing about something that you have had to experience. Something that has made you upset or really happy. Use that to start the song, but you don't have to complete the song the way it really turned out in your instance. [ Lyric writing tips, songwriting technique, songwriting idea ] Lennox from the United Kingdom writes: I just thought I'd let you know that lyrics come to you in the most strangest ways. Take Eurythmics for example. Annie & Dave were fighting over the keyboard & Dave managed to get it so Annie went over to the window & continued to sulk. Then she just starting singing the line, "Here comes the rain again." It's fascinating how ideas come to you. Most of their song lyrics came out of arguments!
[ Lyric writing tips, songwriting technique, songwriting idea ] Megan from Louisville, United States writes: You could write about a dream you or someone you know had. You could also write about a goal you or someone you know had. In my opinion, it's more interesting to write about fantasy, non-fiction and magical stuff than it is too write about stuff you've already experienced. It does sound like a good idea to write about things you've experienced and things other people might have experienced though. Travis from Stockbridge, United States writes: Short in contrast to other tips you may receive on the page, but if at all possible collaborate with fellow songwriters sometimes the best inspirations come from outside sources. [ Lyric writing tips, songwriting technique, songwriting idea ] Lexi from Detroit, United States writes: When brainstorming for an idea of a song, sometimes its best to think of situations from the most ignored point of view. For example, a common song topic is about a cheating boyfriend or girlfriend, but rarely do we hear a song about the other man or woman's feelings. Explore everybody's territory in the situation!
Sonia from Montreal, Canada writes: Sometimes you had an incident that happened to you or someone you know and it really hurt you. write about it let your feelings out!!!! Then after you've done all that go over and read it make changes make a cool beat and other interesting stuff! Good Luck writing!!!!! [ Lyric writing tips, songwriting technique, songwriting idea ] Whitney from Bridgeport United States writes: Just write down what your feeling at that exact moment and then revolve those feelings around something that happened whether it was good or bad.
Tori from O' Side, United States writes: Be yourself. don't try to communicate something that you haven't felt, because even though you may fool some people, those who get very close with that point or emotion that you are trying to get across will know that you're faking it and will hate you for life. if it has happened to someone you know, let people know it from the song.
When writing lyrics, you don't want to force them on the paper. Just let it ride smoothly out of your heart and soul. I dont believe in focusing on money for songs, but if you're just gonna sell them anyway, make it good. [ Lyric writing tips, songwriting technique, songwriting idea ] Kayla from Boise, United States writes: I find that my best lyrics are the ones that come from my heart and soul. When I am hurt from a breakup, or when I am deep in a relationship, I end up with the best lyrics. I feel that trying to come up with some rhyming words about random things just isn't the way to get up with good lyrics! [ Lyric writing tips, songwriting technique, songwriting idea ] Khalilah from Miami, United States writes: Pay closer attention to your everyday conversations.....the more you pay attention, the more ideas you develop, the more creative you can become. Why not? It helped me........
Jasmin from Melbourne, Australia writes: I tend to think about what is happening in my life, troubles i may have or something really good that has happened. On the sad side of the idea you could make up something that could of happened such as your boyfriend/girlfriend dying or losing what you thought you loved!
