If you are thinking of writing your very own song and you have a melody, cords, or just a tune but can’t think of any lyrics? Well help is at hand; just consider these 10 basic steps and ideas when writing!

1. They say the right time to write song lyrics are between 8am to 4pm, so at the weekend if you have some spare time, and you don’t have to write from 8 to 4 but between those times, pick up a pen and a note pad and start writing!

2. You don’t have to write the song all at once, over a few days or weeks even! Moreover, if you can think of a good line, write it down and then you could work it in somehow.

3. Stop thinking about writing a song, just write anything- then make that singable. It’s not a chore, maybe not even a hobby; it’s something you want to do.

4. Know what genre of music you want to write, and the audience you want to attract.

5. Balance out the contrast between repetition- what makes a song catchy- and variety- which makes the song unique.

6. Create a mood when writing a song, often the lyrics are about love or happiness, but you can make the mood whatever you want.

7. Go for a walk, look for inspiration and remember your note pad!

8. Whatever you have written so far, sing it or read it to a friend or family member and get them to give you feedback, so you can improve your song and make it better than it already is!

9. Think about inspiration, listen out for anything- you’ll be surprised what will inspire you and your song.

10. Finally, once you have finished your first amazing song, don’t stop! Keep writing, maybe learn some music theory and add instruments to accompany your songs!
