Becoming a songwriter is a good way to let out the music inside of you. Crafting a song can be a fun way to set your creativity loose. Writing a song starts with becoming familiar with music and honing your skills through practice.

Getting Inspiration

The starting point for songwriting is listening. Being a good writer requires reading books. Being a good songwriter requires listening to songs. Exposure to music can give you ideas on how to set a mood, what lyrics work and the reasons why they work and what chords grab your attention.

A good song starts with a good title. Your title should encapsulate the story of your song. Once you have created a title, jot down a list of words, phrases or images that title suggests to you. Ask yourself questions the title suggests and try to find answers. These exercises will offer a starting point for crafting good lyrics.

It helps to have a basic understanding of things like harmony, melody and rhythm when writing music and lyrics. Pay attention to the structure of a song and try to identify the different parts when you listen.

Keep a notepad or voice recorder on hand so you are prepared to capture random ideas for music and lyrics. Inspiration strikes at odd times. Writing Your Song

When you write a song, it is important to know what story you want to tell. Avoid cliched lyrics and choose words that stimulate emotion. Make an effort to match the music to the mood of the story. Sad lyrics are better paired with a melancholy melody than an upbeat one.

Strike a balance between repetition and variety in your song. A repeated line or chorus can make a song stick with a person after they listen to it. You do not want too get to repetitive with certain chords or lyrics, however, because that can lead to a boring song.

Build transitions between parts of your song that change tempo or beat. A good transition can build tension or evoke certain emotions.

Use a hook at certain points to emphasize particular lyrics or beats. A good hook is what will help people remember your song.
