\"774488_592874464068491_911047754_o\"Since our most popular posts are about \u202a#\u200esong\u202c inspiration and technical tips, here’s a nice mix of both:<\/p>\n

1. Focus particularly on the opening lines of your song. They are, by far, your best chance for pulling your listener into the song and creating an immediate engagement with them.<\/p>\n

2. Many musicians double vocal lines and shift pitches when recording to achieve richer \u202a#\u200evocals\u202c for their \u202a#\u200esongs\u202c.<\/p>\n

3. Create vivid metaphors and use strong similes to embellish your song’s narrative. Not only does this assist in telling the story more effectively, but it creates memorable imagery for your listener.<\/p>\n

4. Try analyzing the metering of your melody, sussing out the syllables and how long they need to be. Many times, a lyrical hook will pop out of the blue for you.
