Episode 028
Today we’ll do our third lyric study about the love story moment of the first kiss.
More specifically, we’ll talk a little more about the tension, and the anticipation BEFORE the first kiss happens. After all, that’s an incredible feeling to be moments away from that first kiss while the butterflies are rushing in roller coasters through your tummy.
But we also point out what can completely ruin that special moment. And you should be aware of avoiding that mistake in your own lyric writing.
