How To Write 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.

You may choose to write from your own experiences. This is actually a good thing as the lyrics will not be that much work. You will just need to find the melody of the song. You will also put a lot of emotion to it so It will most likely catch the attention of your audience. Another advantage of writing from experience is that the song is realistic and people can relate to it.

When the lyrics will not come to you should consider collaborating with another musician. Show them what you have so far, and they can help you in coming up with the rest. Working with someone else may give you new inspiration, and you will be able to write a lot of new songs for some time. This is because it will be like your eyes have been opened in a whole new dimension.

As you sit down to write, do not just be there continually without a break. You should try taking a break in like every 15 minutes especially if you are having a hard time coming up with lyrics. The break allows your mind to cool down and you are able to see the ideas more clearly. It does not matter how long it takes; the important part is the song being a success.

When you start writing give it your all and do not second guess yourself. If you start doubting if you are doing the right thing you might actually never be able to get anything done. It is better you finish writing the song and then go over it and correct it.
