The thing bout writing a song is the whole emotion about it. You first need to pick your title....something catchy rite. then from the title u write tyhe chorus. Then from the chorus u write the lyrics. ofcourse it dosnt need to always go in that order. But it is a guideline to follow. most important thing in a song. Emotion. In order to really capture an audiencce or the person u are singin for.....u need them to feel wat u are singin. Writing a song for some people can take 5 monutes others it wan take awhile. After u write it though rember then there is the music behind it. So while your writin it u want some sortta beat. so good luck.http://www.englishforums.com/English/PointersOnWritingSongs/3/mqlk/Post.htm#221877Mon, 23 Mar 2009 08:50:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:221877Anonymous14http://www.englishforums.com/English/PointersOnWritingSongs/3/mqlk/Post.htm#221877http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments18-221877.xmlim tryin to write a song about somebody i love and still care about but i dont kno how to write a song please can u help me and my friend are going into the studio dis summa and i want to have some material b4 we go our theme is love songs,heartbreak and girls findin the strength to move onhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/PointersOnWritingSongs/2/mqlk/Post.htm#212853Sat, 23 May 2009 07:50:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:212853Anonymous15http://www.englishforums.com/English/PointersOnWritingSongs/2/mqlk/Post.htm#212853http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments18-212853.xmlhey me and my mates are a new band and we need a couple of songs to get us going because we cant think of lyrics, can you help us?http://www.englishforums.com/English/PointersOnWritingSongs/2/mqlk/Post.htm#209912Fri, 23 Jan 2009 08:50:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:209912Anonymous16http://www.englishforums.com/English/PointersOnWritingSongs/2/mqlk/Post.htm#209912http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments18-209912.xmli need to write raps for my college class and i need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!http://www.englishforums.com/English/PointersOnWritingSongs/2/mqlk/Post.htm#206296Mon, 23 Mar 2009 08:50:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:206296Anonymous17http://www.englishforums.com/English/PointersOnWritingSongs/2/mqlk/Post.htm#206296http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments18-206296.xmlI'm writin like a slow acoustic song and can't find anything good to write bout.
