The ability to write poetry and songs has long helped people express their thoughts and feelings in the form of art. Many people know how difficult it is to write a truly valuable and beautiful song, in which not only the content will be of high quality, but also the form. The lyrics of a song should be understandable for any person, so that everyone can find something close and familiar in it, therefore, it is worth approaching the composition of the song text carefully and seriously.
Instructions
Step 1
First, form the concept of the song - define what you want to write about, what is the purpose of the lyrics, what is the meaning in it, how the song will differ from hundreds of others playing on radio and television.
Step 2
It's no secret that the most frequent theme in the songs is the theme of love, and this is not surprising: love and striving for it unites people regardless of their gender, age, interests, nationality and profession. The theme of love is universal, and love songs are always relevant.
Step 3
Thinking through the theme, be sure to distinguish between songs that you write based on personal experiences, and songs that can be understood by absolutely all people. A truly successful song text will evoke feelings and emotions in unfamiliar listeners, so it should not contain the ambiguities that are often present in songs written for oneself.
Step 4
Once you have pinpointed the theme of your future song, think about what means of expression you will use to best reflect the desired idea. It depends on these means whether the song will be original and whether it can stand out among the songs of other performers. Try looking at a familiar topic from a different angle.
Step 5
Often a person's first impression of a song is based on the name of the song, so think about what you would call it. The title can come from anywhere - you can be inspired by your favorite book, an interesting movie, or just the events taking place in the world.
Step 6
Observe the people and events around you, listen to the radio, read - perhaps you will come across a line or phrase that will overwhelm you, and you will understand that you have found the right words that emphasize the whole essence of the song. Often heard by chance on the radio or on TV, phrases become the reason for creating a new song - so much they inspire the authors.
Step 7
Try to describe only those feelings and emotions that you really experience, otherwise the fake and falsehood will be noticeable in the song, and it will not have the desired effect. The song should have such a title that will instantly touch people's attention and intrigue them, make them want to listen to the song to the end, and create a certain mood.
Step 8
The song should attract the attention of a huge number of people, which means that it should be significant, it should have a deep idea and meaning, and the verses should be a logical continuation of each other. Work on the text of the verses painstakingly and carefully, making the text as clean and polished as possible. The whole song should be subordinated to the meaning and those emotions that you put into it, so that the listeners feel the same.
Step 9
Remember that the second verse of the song should serve as the development of the story, and the last verse should be its logical conclusion. Avoid hackneyed phrases and repetitions, strive to create the most beautiful and imaginative text, subordinate to the general idea. Only then will your song really be successful.
