You might not be aware but there are just too many music composers who are finding it hard to write lyrics for their music. That is the reason why many songs have different melody writers and lyricists. If you are not very good in creating original melodies, you still may take a chance of contributing to music by writing effective and highly creative lyrics.
You do not need to be a master lyricist to be able to come out with good lyrics that would surely fit in perfectly with melodies and tunes. Writing lyrics is just like writing short writing compositions. You may talk about anything you feel like talking about. It could be about any person, about your love, about how you feel, about places, about the seasons, or just about anything you could ever think of.
Are you running out of ideas for your lyrics-writing activity? Here are some practical tips that could guide you become a good lyricist.
Think about any incident in your life or in the lives of people you know that could be appropriately and effectively discussed in a song. Expert lyricists attest that personal experiences make for better song lyrics.
If you are always writing lyrics about your personal experiences, why not write lyrics for a song that talk about others? You might say the words in your own view.
Some lyrics are best when adhering to specific concepts. If you are writing to produce a concept music album, it would be best if you keep on thinking about usual and profound concepts. Lyrics should not always be about experiences, you know. Many concepts also make good subjects for song lyrics.
For good melodies, you may write several sets of lyrics before finally choosing the one that fits the bill. It is advisable to rewrite lyrics if you think it is called for. You might not be aware but most songs lyrics have been revised and replaced many times before they are finally published and recorded.
Not too many lyrics talk about events people usually read in magazines and newspapers. But those lyrics really touch hearts. Could you still remember some Michael Jackson songs with heartfelt lyrics talking about famine, degradation of environment, and racial discrimination issues? Take heed.
Always keep a pen and paper with you. Sometimes, profound words just pop up in the minds of people at uncertain times of the day, at the most unexpected venues. It would help if you could write down your feelings and your descriptions of surroundings. Such words could make good song lyrics.
Brainstorm with friends, family, and colleagues. Other people might have terrific ideas. There is nothing wrong with drawing thoughts and inspiration from other people. Inspiration and influence are very significant and helpful when it comes to writing of song lyrics.
Lastly, be original. It would not be advisable plagiarizing other peoples works. Respect intellectual rights especially if you want to always command respect from people over your song lyrics.
