A key aspect of telling a story with your lyrics is the use of descriptive language and imagery. Use vivid and evocative language to paint a picture in your listeners’ minds and help them see and experience your story. Use sensory details, metaphors, and other literary devices to bring your story to life and engage your listeners’ imaginations

I don't know if you'll be able to help me or not but I really want to start making my own music but I have no music knowledge and I struggle with learning because of my ADHD, feels like I'll never get there

HEY YALL THANKS FOR SWINGING BY 🧡
We’re back with another songwriting vid for you guys and I hope these tips help!

**Just to correct myself, for CHORD INVERSIONS:

a simple chord inversion is when you take the bottom note and put it on the top, so in the example I said with the 5th in the bass, it’s the 3RD that becomes the top note, not the root! my mistake!
so a (1, 3, 5) becomes (3, 5, 1) then (5, 1, 3)

im more into poems then a songwriting and here's one of my favs <3

poetry about longing

I was in a forest full of moss
i was tearing through the leaves

i looked at the sky
i thought of a rest


i walked in the desert
fell under myself
i was talking to snake
who showed me a shape, showed me what's next

i walked past a city full of other faces
i looked in every building just in case
they were staring at me
i watched carefully

took home loan to buy a pen,
to send you letter
just to touch your hands
just to hear you feel better

i walked into my room
it made me feel blue
bed was left in your shape
just like it was yesterday
hope you'll escape
back home

Annie, I've been writing songs since June and my songs, singing voice and dance moves have done nothing but get better, and now im preparing to release and album but the fact that I'm at point 1, I don't know how to promote myself. And I'd love a tutorial for that.
(Also I'd love to send you some of my songs and you tell me if you like them)
