A song is a blend of lot of things being played together. For instance it’s not a single person who creates a song because songs are based upon many things, like melodies, rhythm and lyrics.
People think that to write a song lyrics, a person should be well educated in the field of music or should have undergone years of training but writing lyrics is less of a teaching or learning task and more of a creative vision. A creative person can also create song lyrics out of a normal two person conversation, it all about how well you realize the things happening around you. The most inspiring lyricists are always taking ideas by observing their surroundings. It could be anything an old magazine, a television show or may be a post card. It is very much essential for lyricists to put statements and stories in way that they fit with melodies. As we all know a song is sung not said or told, so you should always write lyrics in a way that it could be sung.
While writing lyrics of a song you would always want a set of rhyming words to give good and similar sounding finish to your lines. But you should always try and be more natural in the flow of your lyrics, as at times pushy rhyming words would reflect a poor sense of creativity. Now as we know that lyrics must rhyme in order to create a good effect, it not necessary that every line of your lyrics should have a rhyming word. Instead you can make couples of lines rhyme and let other lines be unrhymed. Or else it would look as if you have pushed the rhyming words unnecessarily. Also you should understand that writing the lyrics of a song is not a one day task, so never try and finish off your song in one single shot. It takes lot of observation and vision to create lyrics and is practically impossible to do it in one shot. What you can do is write down lines coming to your mind every day
, slowly and gradually you will see your lyrics being developed.
For better results you can make writing lyrics a daily habit as it would enhance your skills. Also as technology has advanced you would also find much software that would help and guise you in writing lyrics of your song. Try and stay active and innovative to fetch the best out of you.
