Songwriting: not so easy for me..?
|
|
I'm a singer and would love to come up with some of my own material, but I just can't seem to write good songs. This is very strange, since I am a good writer-- poems, stories, you name it, but whenever I try to come up with a lyric, it seems stupid. I suppose it also doesn't help that I can't play an instrument to put the lyric into.. but that's beside the point.
To you songwriters out there-- how can I channel my creativity into lyrics? And what are some characteristics of a good lyric?
If it helps, I'm a teen girl, and really admire the lyrics/songs of songwriters like Colby Calliat and Taylor Swift.
Thanks so much.
