Ok so we have had a few emails about writing lyrics. This can be really tough for some people. The focus on fronting a band and singing well is not enough you need the words and they need to be real so listeners can relate and believe in you. Bands are emotional creatures and people live them.

So here are a few top tips

#1:
Is there an incident which happened that you think may have some song value? Write a song about that incident. If it were something you personally experienced, then that's probably even better.

#2:
Practice writing lyrics that have absolutely nothing to do with anything you've actually experienced. This could really add more variety to your lyric writing. Was it something experienced by someone you know? Write about it.

#3:
Take a very good concept and write several songs about it. Each song should give a different twist or perspective to the concept. This may very soon add up to a complete concept album.

#4:
At times, you may have written a song with a great melody but you just don't like the lyrics. You should probably just keep the melody and completely rewrite the lyrics, based on a new topic.

#5:
Write lyrics about something you have read about in a newspaper or magazine. Or perhaps something you saw on tv. How about your favorite movies? Do they have interesting ideas for writing lyrics?

One thing that can really enhance your lyric writing is brainstorming. This is one preliminary step that we sometimes neglect when we write lyrics. As songwriters we should try to dig dip to come up with ideas. Sometimes we simply underestimate our imaginative capabilities.
A good rhyming dictionary is a very useful lyric writing tool. It has helped me get out of a lot of jams. Just reading through the entries can really inspire you. Why beat your head against the wall when you can use a good rhyming dictionary to help you write lyrics?

More soon but I hope this helps!
