You’re creating a narrative whenever you’re putting lyrics together into a song. Without context and a well constructed narrative flow, your listeners aren’t going to know where your lyrics  are going. They’ll get left behind.

If you’re looking to combine music and the personal narrative, all it really takes is some conscientious work. The personal narrative, specifically how it interacts with music, has the potential to engage your listeners on an emotional level.
