Say you are in a group and need to get some lyrics done really quick for your next gig or recording session. What do you do? Where do you start? You have some topic ideas in mind and maybe some cool song titles, but the stress is crippling you.
Here is a step process you should use that aids in getting the work started:
- Imagine your concept. Begin brainstorming and come up with a word bank.
- Free write with no hesitation. Let this flow be your first draft.
- Edit what you have. Pick out lines that you like and start forming what you’ve written into stanzas.
- Repeat the process again, but with more focus and self-evaluation.
Seems easy as you read it, but it is an amazing process that will improve your lyric writing in a time-crunch.
