The Creative Craft of Lyric Writing Explained
Your purpose as a songwriter should be to write lyrics that are relatable, memorable, and inspirational. Writing lyrics that listeners can relate to, starts with digging from your own real life situations or emotions. Lyrics that listeners consider memorable starts with you as a songwriter, because as you are writing the song, the melodies and ideas are at their freshest, which means in that moment if the song does not feel right to you, it’s not right. Everything about the song, the moment you are writing it, should make you want to write more and see where the song ends up.
