Struggling with Lyrics....

It's not uncommon for musicians to struggle with writing lyrics. In fact, I meet people on a weekly basis who find it hard to bang out a few words.

The thing is, most musicians are under the impression that you have to be 'poetic' when creating lyrics. Well, that's simply not true. Not only do you not have to be poetic, but you don't always need to rhyme either.

There are only a few 'key elements' that you need in order to maximise your chances of lyrical success. These are: The topic of the song, the structure & arrangement, the rhyming patterns and using metaphor and simile.

If you can learn to master these, then you're well on your way.
