Lesson 1: Choosing A Subject And Keeping It Simple

As you can see this is the first lesson! That's why it starts with the boring part... But if you came this far, you probably won't be bored to death by reading the rest too!

 Let's kick off!

 The next points must be kept in mind while writing lyrics:

• The subject must be of universal interest
• It must be easy to understand yet leave room for the listeners/readers own thoughts

One of the first difficulties songwriters experience is choosing the right subject. It can be a difficult task; in fact, I think it's half the work of writing lyrics! Sometimes I can't find a good subject and my production in writing lyrics completely stops. But if I have found one (inspiration!!!) I often write the lyrics for a song in about 15 minutes. But if you can't find a subject and start writing anyway it might take days to get something appropriate, 'tough it will never be as good as the lyrics that "struck like lightning!

 Another advantage of writing your lyrics on the moment you have inspiration is that you will write your lyrics as if you are speaking . I come back on that later while discussing how to keep your lyrics simple.
