Do Your Lyrics Consistently Make an Emotional Connection with Your Listeners?

If Not, There are Methods You Can Use to Enhance What Your Lyrics Mean, Making Them More Meaningful to Your Listeners

We'll Talk About Those Methods Here...

Lyrics are incredibly important to a great song. Well written lyrics create an emotional connection with a listener that makes them fall in love with a song.

Lyric writing is about more than the message of your song alone. It’s about how you present your message in a way that people will respond to. Even if you already have a lot of ideas for what to say in your music, if you don’t showcase those ideas in an interesting way, people will be less likely to connect with them.

In other words, great lyrics resonate with people. So I have to ask… When it comes to your songs:

  • Are your listeners emotionally connecting to what your songs are saying, on a consistent basis?

If not, you probably just need to know the specific elements that most great lyrics have in common. After all, those elements are what’s making them appealing to listeners.

The great part is you can incorporate these elements into your music without compromising yourself as an artist. You might be afraid that if you learn or apply certain techniques to your lyrics, your songs will be too cookie cutter, but you don’t have to worry about that. There are plenty of approaches you can use that will make your lyrics better, without forcing them into a sound you’re not interested in.

You’ll keep all your creativity, without becoming a “cookie cutter” artist. By taking certain approaches to how you write your lyrics, you can greatly increase the chance of them being meaningful to your listeners.

Writing Lyrics That Connect with Listeners

For no apparent reason, I used to think I was the greatest lyricist around when I first started writing songs (I definitely wasn’t, as you’ll find out in a second). So one day I decided I’d stroke my ego and submit one of my songs for a professional review to see all the "great things" that would be said about it. Haaa... wow, was I wrong! My song got TORN APART in that review.

I wanted to find out if it was just a fluke, so I submitted a few more songs for review, with the same brutal results. Those reviews were stomping all over my hard work and creativity, so they were tough to swallow!

But looking back on it, those reviews were deservedly bad. My songs weren't innovative, like I wanted them to be. Instead, they needed a LOT of work to make an impact on listeners.

One of the things that appeared as a theme in those early reviews was that my lyrics didn’t create a coherent story. In other words, I had an idea in my head of what my song was saying, but I wasn’t conveying it to my audience well. I was under the mistaken impression that whatever fell out of my head was pretty deep, so I would put it into my song without much analysis. But as it turns out, that made for lyrics that weren't so easy to relate to.

Then I thought about some of my favorite lyrics by artists I love and how their stories strongly resonated with me. I realized well written lyrics did a great job of pulling me into the writer’s story in order to get me to relate to it. They weren’t anything like my own lyrics. These songs were much more thoughtful than that. I needed to understand how the best lyricists were crafting their words, if I wanted to write effective lyrics myself.

Before that, I didn’t realize that if you want to innovate it’s best to know the methods that have worked again and again in other successful lyrics. THEN you can use them to make your song great, or you can creatively stray from those same ideas to make your lyrics innovative. Either way, you win. But you have to know what those concepts are first.

With that realization, I decided to build a solid songwriting education for myself and make it my mission to know what makes lyrics meaningful to listeners. I read books, and went to seminars and workshops given by the best and most accomplished songwriting teachers around. I learned all the best tips, tricks and techniques there are. Some of what I learned worked and some didn’t. But the stuff that worked, worked incredibly well.

As I started to learn more and more about crafting great lyrics, I developed the ability to see what made successful lyrics work so well. It became almost instantaneous when I listened to a new song.

I ended up analyzing a ton of song lyrics for articles on my own website and for other great songwriting websites, like USA Songwriting Competition’s Blog and CD Baby’s Do It Yourself Musician’s Blog. I’ve even had my writings appear as examples in the book Songwriting Without Boundaries, by Pat Pattison, who’s an acclaimed Lyric Writing Professor at Berklee College of Music.

Apply the Best Ideas to Your Lyrics

Once I noticed I could see songs in this way, I realized I’d have to put these ideas into a course to be able to give other songwriters the ability to clearly see what can make their lyrics work, while sparing them information that doesn’t work. Not to mention saving them time too.

And that’s what I’ve done. There are very specific concepts you can apply to your lyrics to make them interesting AND innovative. I’ve compiled the best of these ideas into an online video course called How to Write Songs That Sell: The Lyrics Module.

How to Write Songs That Sell: The Lyrics Module is going to save you a LOT of trial and error when it comes to writing incredibly effective lyrics that make a strong emotional connection with your fans.

So, What is The Lyrics Module All About?

How to Write Songs That Sell: The Lyrics Module is a comprehensive program that walks you through all the pieces you need for creating lyrics that emotionally connect with people, so you could drastically improve your lyrics in just days.

Every time I've taken an online course, I’ve found the best way to learn is to start by watching videos so I can have the concepts shown to me and easily explained.

Then if I need to revisit one of the ideas or concepts, I’ve always found it helpful to have a transcript, since it makes those concepts really easy to find when I need to reference a specific one.

I also like the idea of having the audio of what’s in the videos, since audio lets you absorb the contents of the course anytime and anywhere you want. Plus, the audio format makes it easy to listen to the contents of the course several times, getting it ingrained in your brain so you hardly even have to think about what to do.

For those reasons, I’ve created The Lyrics Module as an online video course, but I’ve also included a downloadable pdf transcript and mp3 audio file of the videos as well.

If you learn the same way I do, you’ll find having the information in all three of these formats helpful. And if you don’t absorb information the way I do, you can choose whichever format works best for you and how you learn.

What You'll Learn

The Lyrics Module will show you how to write lyrics that create an emotional impact on your listeners. It covers:

  • How to write creative and interesting metaphors, which are a mandatory element of great lyric writing
  • How to engage the five senses (plus 2 additional senses) as a way of painting a very visual picture with your words, which will pull your listeners into your story
  • How to use rhyme as a strategy when writing your lyrics, so you're not just rhyming for the sake of it
  • What the most popular rhyme schemes are and how you can alter them to positively impact your lyrics
  • What the different types of rhymes are and the best time to use each one for an impactful listening experience
  • How to effectively use a physical rhyming dictionary for writing better lyrics
  • How to clearly write your lyrics to the rhythm in your music, so you don't end up with wordy, awkward sounding (and often misheard) lyrics
  • How to align each of your lyrical lines with a melodic line for a message that resonates with your listeners
  • How to highlight the most important phrases of your lyrics (like your song's title) so they stand out to your listeners
  • How the number of lines you use in your song can affect what your lyric is about, and how to use that to your advantage as you write
  • How to use the length of each phrase in your song as an important tool in your lyric writing to highlight what your lyrics mean
  • How to avoid having your phrases sound awkward
  • How to paint clichés with a whole new meaning no one's ever heard before
  • How to keep your listeners interested in your story from your first line to your last chord
  • How to use imagery in your lyrics to add detail to your stories

After going through How to Write Songs That Sell: The Lyrics Module, you'll always have a way for writing lyrics and you’ll never be stuck with something that’s uninteresting to your listeners.


Prosody

Prosody is a theme throughout this course. So at this point, not only will you have learned about writing lyrics people want to hear, but you'll also know how to tie them into your music so that your words and music are both contributing to your song's "big idea," or main message.  This will give your listeners a coherent and enjoyable listening experience that makes an emotional impact.
