Start Of Lyric Writing

After doing some research into how to write lyrics I became inspired and decided to make a start. I knew that I wanted to write about my life so far but I also knew that writing about my whole life was unrealistic so I made a timeline of important things that have happened to me so far, from here I would choose what would work well in a song and what would be interesting for an audience to listen to. I decided to write about general things you are taught about as a child and to then write about, breaking my arm, my best friend moving to manchester, an ex boyfriend and moving to university. I believe that these things are quite relatable for an audience, therefore, they are more likely to enjoy the song.

I began writing and after my first session I had came up with part of a first verse and a first chorus:

VERSE

When I was younger I was taught 

If I blew a bubble it would burst

If I climbed a tree I would fall down 

If I meet a stranger I should frown

CHORUS

And oh those days are gone

Those easy days

Laughing at the park with all my friends

Wishing that the day will never end

With these lyrics I believe I have made a strong start and that it is following the structure I have decided upon for my song. I now need to start thinking of a melody and a new chord progression that will match the lyrics.
