Let's write songs together!
Like any craft or hobby, lyric writing needs to be practiced and practiced in order to perfect (if anything can be perfected.) So lets collaborate and create some lyrical genius. After one song is finished, we'll start another one! Are you up for a little practice?
This is the very basic form of lyric writing.
Verse 1
Chorus
Verse 2
Chorus
Verse 3
Chorus
So the first person who starts it off will write the first verse and the next will write the chorus. The chorus is then repeated throughout the song. Remember most great lyrics do not read well on paper so don't get too caught up in the flowery language and imagery. Depending on genre much of today's music uses real-life down to earth words. Or you can go the opposite way by using a poetic form, rhyming or non-rhyming. Another thing to remember is that each verse should have the same amount of lines in each.
