How To Answer The Question Of Relevancy when it comes to Writing Lyrics.
Have you ever listened to a song only to end up confused because something in the lyrics seemed off? Did you struggle because something was missing or didn’t understand why something was included because it didn’t seem relevant?
In today’s episode, I want to talk with you about how you can figure out what’s relevant to include in your lyrics and what you can leave out. I’ll let you in on the secret and show you the tools that support you in making the decision to keep and eliminate lines, sections, or the overall idea.
After all, the goal is to write a lyric where the entire lyric, its different parts, and the way they work together are all in sync.
So if you are intrigued to discover the tools to determine
- which lines belong in your narrative
- which building blocks to use
- and find the right words to effectively communicate all the details and events of your lyric to your audience.
… then this episode is for you.
