Writing lyrics was so hard for me…
Everything that came out was cliche, superficial, didn’t feel like me and just nothing special…
So for the longest time I would rely on others to write lyrics for me.
But eventually I realized that if I wanted to have a career as a singer, I need to learn how to write better songs.
And now, years later, after having studied songwriting at The Berklee College of Music and having written songs that won songwriting contests I am happy to report that I can actually write good lyrics now 😂
But it wasn’t until I started teaching others how to write songs that I realized I somehow developed a system to make sure that I’m staying on track with my lyrics.
I call this system my 4 step lyric writing formula.
Following this formula will make sure that:
✅ Your song actually tells a story
✅ Your lyrics are vivid and meaningful, not full of empty clichés
✅ You can write exactly what you feel and think, making it authentic to you
✅ You always know what to write in the 2nd verse and finish all the songs you start
I created a PDF guide called The Songwriting Framework that teaches you how to write better lyrics in addition to writing catchy melodies.
If you want to write your first song or your next song that you actually really like and can’t wait to share, get the guide here: lessons.voxtapestudios.com/the-songwriting-framework
