A Guide To Writing Good Songs Of Deliverance

By Stephen Hayes


Writing songs, no matter if they are gospel or secular is never easy. Writing a melody that will be able to capture the attention of people is actually not that easy. There are so many things you have to put into consideration before you start to write. Even the greatest musicians sometimes have a difficult time composing. Below are some tips to help you in composing songs of deliverance.

Different artists start their composition in different ways. Some begin by getting a hook in their chorus. Once that is done, they can proceed to construct the verses around it. Others begin by playing the tune and coming up with the lyrics too. Other artists prefer to start from the very first verse, and the lyrics just come to them as they continue.

If your style will not be to start with the lyrics, you should be aware that they are a very important part of the song unless it is an instrumental. They need to be carefully thought through and make sense when you sing them out loud. Make sure the chorus is catchy as it Is the first part of the song that most listeners sing.

Whenever you have an idea, make sure you write it down or record it before you forget it. It will be really frustrating when you are trying to remember it sometime later. This is exactly how you are bound to lose lyrics to a song that could be a really big hit. So walk around with a pen and some paper or record it off your cell phone.

Some artists actually write from their own experiences. With experience, you just have to find the right words. Otherwise, you will have the lyrics already. It will be a very emotional song as it is something that you have been through. Your audience will also be able to relate the song as it will sound realistic and not out of this world like some songs.

If the lyrics are being a little hard to come by, you should consider the idea of collaborating with another musician. After all, two heads are better than one. You can each come up with lyrics and compare. Then you can draft them into the final song. The song can even involve two genres, and it is bound to sell more as it is both your audiences buying.

Always make sure that you take a time out while you are writing. Do not push yourself too far and end up wearing yourself out. You can take little breaks in every song writing session. The breaks allow your brain some time to relax and you can be able to go through your thoughts without much of a struggle. If you work continuously, you will be frustrated, and that is not something you want.

To be successful, you should do one thing at a time. Do not start criticizing yourself before you have even begun to write. You should conclude the writing process, and you can go over your work later making the necessary corrections.
