Episode 038
Let's address the question of why we should look at the craft of storytelling when we write our lyrics – apart from the impact the power of storytelling has on our audience.
Let's focus on our writing process.
Because when we write our lyrics, it’s good to know where we are going. Otherwise, we’re just writing words that are all over the place.
And that’s going to feel messy to our listeners. So to write a good line or lyric section, we have to ensure that every part of the lyric does what it’s supposed to: Engage and connect.
And once we get a clear idea of what we are trying to accomplish, everything unlocks.
So if you look for a compass point that helps you write your lyrics with clarity and intention, this episode is for you.
