A Simple Songwriting Exercise

Lot's of people tell me that they could never write a song.
Some tell me that they can do the music, but they struggle with the lyrics.

Try this.

Think about it for one minute. What is this song about?

Next, pen in hand, write down these words:

I see...

I feel...

I sense...

I smell...

I taste...

I hear...

I remember...

Now finish the sentences and you're on your way. Of course if you're writing from someone elses perspective change it to "He or She sees etc...

It's a simple and effective way to convey a picture from your mind to others.
How you set it to rhyme and rhythm is your next challenge, but this is a good place to start.
Try it.

Good luck!
