    I usually "cheat" by consulting a rhyme dictionary. I also write backwards from a line that I want to end a stanza with, so that I come out on the right punchline. And I always get a concept together of what I want to deal with, so that I have an overall arc that makes sense. Oh, and I love to vary the chorus ever so slightly that it assumes different meanings as the song progresses.

      I'll use this website: alliteration.me/synonym.html to make things alliterative. If used in moderation, alliteration can make things flow better. If used extensively, it makes you seem like a genius. If you know what letter you want to alliterate with, you can just enter that and input some random words. The algorithm on this site isn't very finely-tuned, so it will give you not only synonyms to what you search for, but also any related words (antonyms etc). Just pick out a few you like and make it work.

    This actually helped me a lot! I wrote a song and it took me only like 1-2h and usually it takes me multiple days or even weeks to figure out how to express my feelings because I can't find the right words and it really demotivated me. Thanks for telling us this! ^-^

    I'm a poet and lyricist myself, and I frequently use a thesaurus after I have something down to make it better. Some people think that's cheating, but I feel like it's just another tool for an artist. I also think I will have to try your idea out sometime, I love that. And your song turned out amazing, so I'd call that "cheat" pretty credible. Can't believe that song didn't get alot of love, that's one of my favorites that you've done recently.

  • @BNLNRD
    @BNLNRD 7 лет назад +2

    If anything, it makes the song even better for me! When you started out with cold-blooded, later it says 'used to be stable' I knew what was going on and I loved it! However, being a foreigner I had no idea what other parts of the lyrics were related to horse terminology. So thanks for clearing that up! ^^

    I did notice a few of the horse-puns, actually... I thought it was a pretty decent song, but maybe just too short; it wasn't clear if it was a full track or just playing with the melody a bit. Looking forward to a longer piece based on it, though. It was pretty cool...

    I just use a thesaurus? Which I think people maybe see as a cop-out, but it's kinda the same process you're talking about.
    I start with an idea I want to expand, or one line, and just look up keywords. I always end up finding new shades of meaning and juxtapositions that are more interesting and sometimes the song goes to a whole different, often more visceral place because of it.

  • @georgeabraham7256
    @georgeabraham7256 Год назад

    For me.. I always lost marks for writing, never-ending sentences or sentences that's too long.. So my mind was not thinking in chunks.. I watched some other guide and a tip was to look for book titles as song ideas.. So when I made notes on my own.. Stuff like verbs.. what songs can be described as.. eg "A case of..", "A memory or scenario".. I took cris de burg's Lady in red.. as an example.. noticing the guy crafts in a way that your imagination does all the grunt work.."like he's standing there empty handedly in a dance gesture".. going.. dude.. see me doing something.. but then I also noticed the whole song could be one long chain of book titles.. or (epics for a lack of a term).. "Everywhere that Mary went" could be a book title.. "his fleece was white as snow" can also, if you think about it.. for the next few days everything I heard sounded like that.. no matter what song.. and when you try it yourself it's not that hard to epify each sentence.. If you read this far.. you probably shouldn't have 😂😂❤❤ Rambo was a brown dog
    He did not have any friends
    But then he peed on a Sycamore tree
    Now he has more than he can handle..
    Everything is like that. You could write a one word epic, "you", "I".. 2 word, three words etc.. I title can also be seen as a suggestion to have the listener quickly write content in their minds over each loaded epic idea in your lyrics.. If you struggled like me all your life with rhyme etc.. then this will probable be home run for you.. alot of songs also become more powerful when you hear like this😢😢
