This simple 3-step framework will get you 80% of the way there...
Step 1: Have Something To Say.
A core idea guides the entire writing process.
Choose a topic and decide what to say about it.
Step 2: Have Somewhere To Go.
Every part of the song needs a reason to exist and a destination to point to.
Use the core idea to write the song's chorus first.
Step 3: Know How To Get There. Create a structure that communicates one clear message effectively. Outline key points for each verse and make sure they all point to the chorus.
There’s a big problem most songwriters face when writing lyrics.
It’s finding the right words to say what you really mean.
Tomorrow (Fri 25th) I'm going to break down:
1. The key to finding the right words for your lyrics
2. Give you real word examples of it in action
3. A simple 3 step process to apply it to your songs
It's a longer email than I usually send but I think you'll find it very useful.
Songwriters, If you have ever wanted a way to seriously speed up your lyric writing process without losing quality then this could be just the game changer you're looking for.

Post a new 'SONG TITLE' here and let others describe what your song's about!
I thought this might be a cool songwriting collab/ challenge.
#1. Post a song title (you have NOT written a song with yet)
#2. Let the good folks on YT tell you what that song will be about.
#3. return the favor.
