When it comes to song titles, think outside the box and get creative. Use a vivid image like...Happiness is a Warm Gun/ Heart Shaped Box/ Blackbird/ Fake Plastic Trees/ My Iron Lung. #songwritingtips #songwriting

You don’t need fancy words to write better lyrics.

1. Focus on one clear idea per section
2. Put strong words on strong beats
3. Leave space after important ideas

Say less. Make it stick.

Want to write lyrics that everyone connects with? Find the universal feeling in your story. Ask yourself, what’s the shared experience everyone goes through? Like, feeling lost or chasing a dream? Build your whole song around expressing that single emotion. #songwritingtips

The goal isn’t to sound like your favorite singer.

Listen to them, then tune into the physical sensations they evoke—resonance, breath, emotion.

Feel over sound.

Inspiration, not imitation.

The first line of a song isn't “just an opener”, It’s a device for emotional priming. Think of it like a joke, The setup (first line) directs our attention. The chorus delivers the emotional punchline. #songwritingtips

@xnickbakken How?

[Songwriter's Chop Shop @SongwritersCs]

When it comes to turning lyrics into a melody, find the rhythm in your words. Speak your lyrics out loud with emotion. There will be a basic melody there already. Then chunk the lyrics into rhythmic motifs and decide on a repetition pattern for those motifs.

Want ur chorus to feel emotionally explosive?

Try this:

1. Start chorus a 3rd above the highest verse/pre-chorus note

2. Make chorus peak a 4th or 5th higher than anything before

3. Create a 4-6 step leap between pre-chorus end and chorus start

When it comes to melodies, keep it simple and focus on rhythm. Some of the catchiest melodies use shorter notes, narrow vocal range, and repeated rhythms... "We Will Rock You"/"Single Ladies"/"Shape of You"

Why does a painter brush the canvas?
Why does a writer type out 1000 words a day?

Songwriting is the same. Cuts, likes, plays or not.
