Do you listen to songs on the radio and realize that they are singing some incredible nonsense? Do you have something to tell the world about your feelings and experiences? Do you feel a lot of creativity in yourself? Do you want to become famous in the musical field? Then try yourself as a songwriter! If you want to get serious about writing lyrics for songs, then follow a few simple steps - and you are guaranteed success.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on the topic of the text. I think it's no secret that the most popular songs are love songs. It is more pleasant and easier to write texts about your own experiences, but such texts are unlikely to be able to gain popularity, because they are usually too personal and intricate.
Step 2
Distinguish between texts written for yourself and those that you wrote for the general public. If you want your song to storm the top of the charts, then write about what most people care about, not just you and your friends.
Step 3
Give the song a good title. To find a good headline, study the titles of famous books, films, flip through newspapers and magazines. The name of a famous song should be:
- unusual;
- attractive;
- intriguing;
- awakening strong feelings.
Step 4
Create a legend for the song. Remember that a song is a small piece of art, which means that it must begin with something and end with something. The first verse of your song is like introducing the listener to the story you want to tell them.
Step 5
Work on polishing the poem. To state your thoughts is not all. The song text must be written correctly, observe the rhyme and rhythm. Edit your text several times to bring it to perfection.
Step 6
Pay attention to the meaning of your song. Remember that the meaning of the entire text should be whole, unified. The listener should immediately grasp the meaning of your song, do not force him to scrupulously listen to the whole text to understand what you wrote about.
Step 7
Try to match the mood of the lyrics and the mood of the music, if you can. The song should convey the same mood both in text and melody.
Step 8
And also, as you follow all these steps, remember that the main thing is the feelings that you want to awaken in the listener with your song. If your emotional message is sincere and comes from the heart, and if you did a good job on your lyrics, then your song will definitely find its listeners.
