Theme Song on Piano Tutorial

Here’s how to write lyrics that stand out and shine for the listener. Here are some tricks to grab your listener and make them want to hear every detail of your songs lyric and music.

Come up with an interesting idea that all people feel. Listen to all the conversations around you, in bars, at work, in the emergency waiting room and in your everyday conversations.

Keep notes and use them to come up with an outline for your song. To learn how to write lyrics you need to decide on a song form, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus for instance.

The outline can be one sentence for each of the first verse, chorus, second verse, and bridge. Make the story progress to become more and more intimate as it goes. Try to make each verse give a new angle on the chorus. This is called “color the chorus”. Make the chorus have new meaning each time you hear it.

Focus on one main idea for the song and describe it in great detail when learning how to write lyrics. Narrow all things in your song down to relate only to that idea. Use other good ideas that don’t quite fit in another song.

Decide on a hook (main phrase and meaning) for your chorus. It should wrap up everything in your song. In other words every line in your song should relate directly to your hook and give it new meaning. Make sure to put long vowel sounds in your chorus and hook so the singer can hold out the notes easier.

When you write your lyric choose words that show what you mean as compared to just telling what you mean. Find new ways to say “I love you” common phrases. Turn these old cliches into new examples that demonstrate what you mean.

Be specific, be specific, be specific is the key on how to write lyrics! Don’t say a “car”, give its name and color or make. Do this for all words you use. Don’t just say it was “raining”, describe it, how it sounded, how it felt, how it tasted. Do this will all your words.
