Today we start with our first bite-sized episode to talk about one specific aspect of using the power of storytelling in writing lyrics.
Let me ask you this:

Do you know what components you actually need to turn that idea into an outline that will help you actually write the lines?
If you struggle with not knowing how to flesh out an idea, then this episode is for you.
We talk about the crucial components that you need to make your lyrics meaningful and to actually provide a takeaway for your listener. Those crucial components belong to the craft of storytelling. And they are amazing little helpers to help you transform your ideas into an outline for your song.
Does that sound like something you need to know more about?
