Songwriting tips...

KEEP THE MESSAGE SIMPLE
------------------------

Write words that connect with other people!

What is the point of having the most clever, thought-out, deep and
poetic lyrics if nobody can relate to them?

Well, there isn't much point.

If you want a song that people can 'connect' with, then keep the
lyrics simple. Even the most experienced songwriters will come back
to this point over and over again - keep the lyrics simple.

This doesn't mean that you have to write the obvious 'catch
phrases', what it DOES mean, it that DON'T LET YOUR LYRICS GET TOO
COMPLICATED so that nobody can understand what you're trying to say!

While I certainly wouldn't disagree with using metaphors and
similes, I wouldn't use them exclusively. So just there's no need
to get too fancy,they're like jewelery,and too much bling looks tacky right?

Remember, you're not writing songs for English literature professors.
You're writing songs for the world to hear and relate to.
