Ways Of Writing Lyrics For Fans For Longevity

By Chris Borg


Music feeds the soul, some say. It is enjoyable to make the beat of a song, even without writing lyrics, and is often used by paint and sculpture artists to help create the mood they need in order to create beautiful pieces. Sounds made by ancient folks were used for enjoyment as well as communication.

Throughout the jungle in ancient times, primeval sounds could be heard. Primates used sticks, rocks or whatever else they lay hands upon, to bang on trees and rocks. They may have done this to show how happy they were but also as a method of deterring perceived enemies. Human beings added meaning to the rhythms.

It may not take a genius to slap rocks together, but today, to create music that many people will love, you must have some kind of artistic ability. Instrumentals touch the hearts and souls of many, but when you're able to incorporate meaningful words into the mix, you can tell a story exactly the way you want it to be told.

The words in songs do not necessarily have to rhyme, and you do not have to be proficient in writing music to create a song. A song writer can simply write poems and allow others more adept to add the music. This cooperative partnership often results in beautifully written songs, both musically and lyrically.

Writers of songs can come up with the most awesome stories to tell. Many use their own lives as inspiration. When that is not possible, there are methods of revelation other than your own feelings. Looking around you and jotting down what you see, browsing through magazines and books, and watching people interact with one another can often lead to a chain reaction of words of expression.

Good song writers do not have to write words that make sense or even rhyme, but they just need to keep writing. The outcome may be a hit song. Even funny songs tell stories, and are full of enjoyment and mirth. Something that happens in your life or is told to you, could end up being a song that helps someone through a bad time. A foot-stomping ditty could also make people happy when they are feeling low.

The enjoyment of music does not come only from creating it by writing lyrics, but also from listening to it. Whether on radio, television, compact discs or videos, happiness can wash over you with a soothing, loving song. Other times, your own feelings of despair, loneliness and loss of a loved one can be reflected back to you through a song.
