Look At These Ways Of Writing Lyrics For Longevity

By Chris Borg


Music is a language all of its own, without writing lyrics. No matter where you find yourself, music speaks to you, even though you may not understand the words. The mood is there, the feelings of joy or sadness still come through. Human beings have created noises for enjoyment, and also for communications, from beginning times.

Humans have not had a monopoly on sound making. Primates, such as chimps and apes, have used branches to beat upon trees, rocks and simply the ground, to make their feelings known. Words were not involved, but they expressed themselves none-the-less. When man began tapping out simple beats, it became a way of enjoying themselves, as well as, eventually, handing down a verbal history.

Music lends itself well to telling stories from poems. It is often done the other way around as well, adding words to written music. Either way, your ability to convey your feelings with music, lyrics or not, is something that comes from the heart. Upbeat, soulful or romantic tunes fill the ears of those who really listen.

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.

There are all sorts of artists who write their own music, but many of them have others write the stories for them. Inspiration comes in many different forms, but if you're not feeling inspired, a simple way to come up with ideas is to cut random words out of magazines, newspapers, and even old books. Cut out words, randomly lay them out in front of you, and you might be amazed at what you come up with.

It is often with a sense of incredulity that you find yourself hastily jotting down words that come to mind. No matter what the particular feeling is invoked, a story may actually present itself. Free-flowing words or brainstorming, may result in a surprisingly good story. Just continue writing and see what comes out. Adding notes to create a song is then easily done.

Music artists are effective when they can bring enjoyment to others. Over the air waves, music travels to televisions and radios across the country, bringing people music to suit their mood. Both sides of this coin are necessary: those who enjoy writing lyrics and those who enjoy the resulting creation. This symbiotic relationship has been essential for music to endure as log as it has.
