Uneven Lyric Length

Have you thought about your lyric phrase lengths? The Golden rule- Keep things EVEN.

Writing strong #Lyrics-#Personification never ‘hurts’!

Writing strong Lyrics. Personification never hurts! Personification is a technique for  giving human qualities to non human objects. Example: The  smiling moon, a jovial sun, a lonely road, the  sad ocean, etc As an example, in the poem”Mirror” by Sylvia Plath, the mirror (referred to by the letter ‘I’ in the first line) is given the ability to speak, see and swallow, as well as other human attributes such as truthfulness and preconception. This makes the words so very ‘poetic’. “I Continue
