How to find Songwriting Lyric Ideas – 3 techniques to write song lyrics

Writing lyrics is a very important skill to master as a songwriter. Especially since words in a song or composition can be understood more easily. But finding lyric ideas for songs can be quite dificult to say the least. So that’s why you want to add this to your songwriting skills toolbox.

In this episode I show you my top three techniques that I always use when finding songwriting lyric ideas. One of them is object writing, which I learned from the great book ‘Writing Better Lyrics’ by Pat Pattison. The other two songwriting tips take a bit more work from your side because they ask more input from you own imagination.
In any case I think if you apply these three lyric writing tips, you should be able to get some good ideas!
Let’s get creative 🙂
