SONGWRITING TIPS

One of the most overlooked secrets to writing strong songs is so simple
you'll think it's stupid. And yet it's so important that I don't know why
songwriting authors and "teachers" have not made more of a big deal of it.
Here it is: ALWAYS start your songs strong.

It sounds too simple to even be called it a "tip." I can hear you saying it,
"Everybody knows that!"
But do they? Out of 100 songs I hear at writer's events, 97 of them will have weak first lines (actually weak first and second lines). Just think of how crazy this is.

It's finally your turn! They announce your song title and your name, and press
"play." ALL EARS ARE ON YOUR SONG! AND...because you didn't
start strong, all that rapt attention just bleeds out into the carpet while your first
two lines dribble out of the speakers like warm mayonnaise.
No (or low) impact. By the time your lyric gets up to speed it's too late.
The audience has quietly slipped you into the "just another wanna-be"
category along with many other people.This can also apply to writing melodies.
ALWAYS START STRONG.
