FREE Songwriting Tip Of
The Month
I'm not sure a song is really ever finished.
I have songs I have been writing on for years with demos
completed and I still find a better more creative way to
deliver the message. Always
stay open to new ways to improve your
songs with
new lyrics and new melody changes.
Strive to make your song as
strong as possible. Only then
will it have a chance of being hear and recorded. Make sure
each line of each verse points back to the title or idea of
your song. Can the song do
without one of the lines? If so, cut it now and write
another. It won't survive the test of pitching a song
these days. Publishers and recording artists are not looking
for good songs, they want
hit songs that will further
promote their careers. |
