Lyric writing

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Writing lyrics can be difficult initially, but by practicing for some time, the quality of the lyrics will improve and they can be written in a shorter time.

To write lyrics the song writer has to :

  • decide on the type of music rap,hip hop, pop rock, R&B or country music
  • decide the subject of the song
  • write the story of the song
  • put in rhyming words to make a song
  • frame the words in the song, by adding more words till they make sense
  • extend the song to put in more lines

When the lyric writers frame the song in tune and make the musics,the attention of the audience is distributed among music and the voice of the singer. The singers voice will sound better with the music.

While choosing the subject of a story, the author has to consider

  • the target audience and market demand for fiction in that field
  • the personal preferences of the author.

Reading a lot of books will help the author get new ideas.  Other methods of research are:

  • Observing people
  • Talking to people
  • Reading newspapers and magazines
  • Checking online message boards and forums
