ULTIMATE LYRIC WRITING CHEAT | Andrew Huang

This is great. It's so interesting to hear about your process, I'm so amazed by how much content you put out, and how COOL it all is.

[Noone-of-your-Business]

I usually "cheat" by consulting a rhyme dictionary. I also write backwards from a line that I want to end a stanza with, so that I come out on the right punchline. And I always get a concept together of what I want to deal with, so that I have an overall arc that makes sense. Oh, and I love to vary the chorus ever so slightly that it assumes different meanings as the song progresses.

[KarishmaRawat]

I really thought he said 'buns.'

I don't know if you noticed, but the intro high five is always edited to fit the location that is filmed...

[ciararavenblaze]

when you leaned in really close and whispered, I could have sworn you said "butts". but... I just realized--yes, just now, a good five minutes after watching--that you said "puns". derrrp.

[LuwukaW]

I'm a poet and lyricist myself, and I frequently use a thesaurus after I have something down to make it better. Some people think that's cheating, but I feel like it's just another tool for an artist. I also think I will have to try your idea out sometime, I love that. And your song turned out amazing, so I'd call that "cheat" pretty credible. Can't believe that song didn't get alot of love, that's one of my favorites that you've done recently.

This actually helped me a lot! I wrote a song and it took me only like 1-2h and usually it takes me multiple days or even weeks to figure out how to express my feelings because I can't find the right words and it really demotivated me. Thanks for telling us this! ^-^

[Sirrahlala]

That method is really inspiring. I love word play, especially alliteration and puns. Storing this away for future use.

Can't wait for the full version - it's been stuck in my head since you uploaded it, and my voice has gone a bit hoarse singing along to it!

the secret is out!

I'm so sorry

[PatrickHaeslerMusic]

I saw Deep Going! Easily my favourite of your daily songs so far!

[octoprog]

THIS SONG JUST GOT EVEN BETTER AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR BASICALLY WRITING A RELATIONSHIP SONG BASED ON HORSE PUNS! no but seriously tho. videos like this are just so incredibly interesting and I would love to hear/see more about what you've been thinking while creating something. :)

Thank you so so much ❣️❣️🌹

I love the echo of ur high five! It sounds perfect for the environment your in!!!! The little details count!

[BNLNRD]

If anything, it makes the song even better for me! When you started out with cold-blooded, later it says 'used to be stable' I knew what was going on and I loved it! However, being a foreigner I had no idea what other parts of the lyrics were related to horse terminology. So thanks for clearing that up! ^^

[Fuzzlekinz]

I noticed some of the puns in that song but since I don't know a lot of horse terminology most of them flew right over my head!

[evancoles]

I really like the street you are on! the birds are chirping and the dogs are barking. I can also hear gates and footsteps and trees rustling. I love it! I also voted for you on facebook for the award. I dont know if you will get it but I know you deserve it. You're such an inspiration! :)

For me.. I always lost marks for writing, never-ending sentences or sentences that's too long.. So my mind was not thinking in chunks.. I watched some other guide and a tip was to look for book titles as song ideas.. So when I made notes on my own.. Stuff like verbs.. what songs can be described as.. eg "A case of..", "A memory or scenario".. I took cris de burg's Lady in red.. as an example.. noticing the guy crafts in a way that your imagination does all the grunt work.."like he's standing there empty handedly in a dance gesture".. going.. dude.. see me doing something.. but then I also noticed the whole song could be one long chain of book titles.. or (epics for a lack of a term).. "Everywhere that Mary went" could be a book title.. "his fleece was white as snow" can also, if you think about it.. for the next few days everything I heard sounded like that.. no matter what song.. and when you try it yourself it's not that hard to epify each sentence.. If you read this far.. you probably shouldn't have 😂😂❤❤ Rambo was a brown dog
He did not have any friends
But then he peed on a Sycamore tree
Now he has more than he can handle..

Everything is like that. You could write a one word epic, "you", "I".. 2 word, three words etc.. I title can also be seen as a suggestion to have the listener quickly write content in their minds over each loaded epic idea in your lyrics.. If you struggled like me all your life with rhyme etc.. then this will probable be home run for you.. alot of songs also become more powerful when you hear like this😢😢
GodSpeed!

Pretty unrelated comment, but Andrew is a frickin musical genius. 🔥

I write my own songs and I thought Deep Going had interesting lyrics which were off the beaten path, really liked the song Andrew!
