Well, hello there, fellow artists! Are you trying and failing at writing your first song? The first thing you need to do is look in the bottom of your heart. What are your feelings? Keep a journal to keep track of what goes on in that fabulous life of yours so you can find what your songs can generally be about. For example, if you have a crush on that guy in school that just makes you feel like melting into a puddle of affection, write about what that guy makes you feel. The second thing you need to pay attention to is the main layout of the song. Pay attention to most songs on the radio... They all rhyme! Songs are basically poems. Think about it. Turn your feeling into a series of rhymes and patterns and just go with the flow. Darn. I sound like a tree hugger dont I. Anyway, Here is an example of how you can write it out... All Of Me By John Legend [Verse 1] What would I do without your smart mouth? Drawing me in, and you kicking me out Youve got my head spinning, no kidding, I cant pin you down Whats going on in that beautiful mind Im on your magical mystery ride And Im so dizzy, dont know what hit me, but Ill be alright [PreChorus] My heads under water But Im breathing fine Youre crazy and Im out of my mind [Chorus] Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me Ill give my all to you Youre my end and my beginning Even when I lose Im winning Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you, ohoh [Verse 2] How many times do I have to tell you Even when youre crying youre beautiful too The world is beating you down, Im around through every mood Youre my downfall, youre my muse My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues I cant stop singing, its ringing, in my head for you [PreChorus] My heads under water But Im breathing fine Youre crazy and Im out of my mind [Chorus] Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me Ill give my all to you Youre my end and my beginning Even when I lose Im winning Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you, ohoh [Bridge] Give me all of you Cards on the table, were both showing hearts Risking it all, though its hard [Chorus] Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me Ill give my all to you Youre my end and my beginning Even when I lose Im winning Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you I give you all of me And you give me all of you, ohoh Did you pay attention to the rhyme pattern? Also, did you pay attention to how much of it was a message from the bottom of his heart? Make sure your songs are from the bottom of your heart, sending out a message to everyone of what goes on in that beautiful head of yours.
