Tap into your passions and tune in to your emotions if you want to write a really impactful song. Without passion or emotion, day to day life is colorless and dull — the same will probably hold true for any song that lacks these traits.

You don’t want to send your audience to sleep. Choose a scenario or an issue that really resonates with your own life, and use it to fuel your lyrics.
