Songwriting is not just an art form, its life’s communication painting emotions through words with melodies that resonates with the human inner being. It’s love, It’s Inspiration, it’s history, It’s Creative, it’s fun, it’s sad, its angelic, its images and more… It evokes as well as stimulates, and as a writer, when you can do that, your songs will be timeless.
There are 7 major writing techniques for song writers and rappers:
- Brainstorm
- Song Structure
- Melodies & Hooks
- Choruses
- Developing Song Idea & Concepts
- Music & Research
Keep in mind that “singers” are much different than “rappers” although some of the techniques to writing have similar application. Mood is important, the premise is important along with the song being harmonic and catchy.
