    A key aspect of telling a story with your lyrics is the use of descriptive language and imagery. Use vivid and evocative language to paint a picture in your listeners’ minds and help them see and experience your story. Use sensory details, metaphors, and other literary devices to bring your story to life and engage your listeners’ imaginations

    HEY YALL THANKS FOR SWINGING BY 🧡 We’re back with another songwriting vid for you guys and I hope these tips help! **Just to correct myself, for CHORD INVERSIONS: a simple chord inversion is when you take the bottom note and put it on the top, so in the example I said with the 5th in the bass, it’s the 3RD that becomes the top note, not the root! my mistake! so a (1, 3, 5) becomes (3, 5, 1) then (5, 1, 3)

    Annie, I've been writing songs since June and my songs, singing voice and dance moves have done nothing but get better, and now im preparing to release and album but the fact that I'm at point 1, I don't know how to promote myself. And I'd love a tutorial for that. (Also I'd love to send you some of my songs and you tell me if you like them)

    Write about how your current experience makes you feel. Do you feel like you're missing out on certain parts of life? Do you feel like people don't really connect with you the way you wish they did? Do you feel excited to gain more experiences? Do you have dreams of certain things you'd like to do, that you'd write a song about if you did? Write about that.

    A lot of great songwriters are book fanatics. Read literature. Watch lots of movies. Hell, there’s tons of bands who base their lyric content on a movie plot (ex: the Misfits). Lyrics don’t always have to revolve around silly cliche’s (no judgement) of romance and heartbreak.

I have seen your thumbnails b4 but I havent clicked to any yet, I initially judged younger youtuber when I'm looking for tips/tutorial but I am really impressed by your video. Think that I might get rid of those judging attitude :)) Like, the 1st tip happens to be the nuance in writing music that I've bumped into lately and the inversions really help me out. I'm enjoying your video and will think about other tips about lyrics/songwriting to improve my projects. Thanks a lot.

    You're assuming that other musicians, singers and songwriters are just laying around waiting to be picked up. I've been in this town over six years. I have yet to find another musician, little own a song writer that's willing to get together and create something. I can't even find anyone to just sit down and jam.

    I read the book 📖 first and then watch the film. And if you read the book and then watch the film you get more details for me I read the book 📖 the outsiders and then watch the film 🎞 and I realize that the movie 🍿 have less details like it’s like a broader overview of the subject but don’t give you the details. Books give you details if you read it more than 2 or more times similar to a recording album 💿 like say your favorite 🤩 artist is tears for fears and the album 💿 the seeds of love ❤ if you listen to the first time great 😌. But if you listen to it 2 or more times like 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 you’ll knowtice these details that are in a book 📖 for me if I had to choose for stronger between book 📖 vs movie 🍿 I would choose stronger by Jeff beauman because I would read it over and over and over again and find those details and books strengths your brain 🧠 and also books 📖 also more details because people want more details about the book 📖. While movie 🍿 it’s quicker and broader too.
