Indivdual Assessment Research

Lyrics

Continuing with my research surrounding my individual composition I have been struggling a lot with the writing side to the composition. As I am new to song writing and creating my own music I have struggled with some elements to it.

The main reason for my struggle with creating lyrics is that I have no idea where to begin. I have a theme and an idea that I want to use in order to create my song however no idea as to how to go about it. Therefore, I have been using the internet to find out how I can learn to create my lyrics. As well as this, how will I know if my song is good enough? How will I be able to know if people will enjoy it.

'Good songwriters use song craft to give their songs emotional impact and make them memorable for listeners.'  (LEARN HOW TO WRITE A SONG: a step-by-step guide. 2014.)

In order to create a 'good song' it needs to be emotionally powerful not just from my behalf but to others as well, however I do not want to create a love song and have steered away from this path as I find it cliché and cringe worthy. I want to be able to take my listeners on a journey, not through a love song but maybe something that makes them want to dance or they can listen too and feel good.

I have been using videos and websites to help me to start my song and I feel a bit more confident in starting to write the lyrics now.
