Hm. Is Hozier the exception to this rule? “A fox it was, / he shook, afraid / I spoke no words, no sound he made”

[dylanbyrne]

Write a song I will try not. Do or do not I will. There is no try.😃

[williamjohnson]

😂 yeah don’t follow this advice.Nothing wrong with flowery speech or speaking like yoda. It’s all preference write from your heart or with context. The rest is for the birds.

[aydanface]

This is basically how to write a boring radio hit not write a song

[brileystewart]

Do you do any one on one lessons by chance? 😄

[theuvsound]

I disagree… some people write better when it’s NOT how they talk, maybe it’s how they wish they talked. Write what feels good to you! Although this does work if you’re just trying to write a hit
