Writing lyrics to a song - tips on writing lyrics

Natalie from USA writes: I'm an experienced lyric writer, (not professional) but I've written songs my whole life, and my advice is: All it takes to write lyrics, is putting down the 1st words that come in your head, like..

Example : Dance, Rythm, Jump,

So I would combine those words into a song, like.. another Example : "Dance all night, jump, jump, to the rythm baby"

So it's pretty simple, but if you still arent getting it right, then, just simply make a poem, and turn it into a soft song.

I am into hip-hop so I make hip-hop songs, like dance, club, love, and more

I hope this has helped many of you people. Thanx for reading! byee x0x

Katherine from North Olmsted, USA writes: Hey, ok so I have been writing songs for about a year. None are up to standards though. this website really helped. I do have a few tips that have helped me.

1.Write the chorus before you worry about the bridge or the verse.

2. Worry about the words before the music.

3. Be in the scenery that your music is about, if it is calm maybe be out by the beach, etc. and

4. I try to think of a title while writing the chorus.

I hope these things have helped. If you have any suggestions for me; hit me up at Kayy10294ATaim.com or Sweetsamoa65ATaim.com. Thank you! Especially about the music to a song. I am not instrument-skilled. I am great on guitar [electric] and drums, but I am more of a writer of calmer songs. If anyone can record a calm "beachy" sound and send the track to my email that would be GREAT. Well, thanks to anyone with tips about ANYTHING!

Writing lyrics to a song

Evan from Toowoomba, Australia writes: When you are emotional, that's the time to have a pen and paper at hand. Write constantly, keep everything you write. Make every sound of the words count, to marry whatever rhythm you have. Just because phrases and terms are in fashion does not mean you must use them. Be you and use your own words. Write so you are telling a loved one a secret. Be open about your views. Listeners want to be charmed, to connect through your words. Polish your lyric over and over so it has no "fat" on it. Test your words on a friend, see if they can get the mood you hoped to describe.

Kellan from Litchfield Park, USA writes: Put your dreams to music. Take the dream you had last night, or as much as you can remember, and write lyrics out of it. Taking dreams and putting them to words helps you to open your mind to more surreal ideas, which, depending how they are used, can expand your lyrical vocabulary.

Jack price from London, UK writes: Think of metaphors. Metaphors can often have more meaning (and sound a lot better" than the meaning itself.
