The easiest step-by-step route to songwriting is as follows:

1.  Come Up With a Song Title

A great song title will help the song virtually write itself because once the central idea of the song is contained in the title, the title words give birth to to ideas and situations you would never have thought of without that title!

2.  Use the Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus Form For Now

For now, all you need to keep in mind is that the verse tells the story and the words change from verse to verse, and the chorus magnifies and sums up the story by containing the title, using repetition, and generally staying the same while using higher notes than the verse.

For your first song, use the common Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus form to keep it simple and to have the best chance at being successful.

3.  Be Aware of Your Rhyming Scheme While Songwriting

Try not to have the same rhyming scheme in your verses as you do in your chorus.  For example, in the verses, rhyme lines 1 with 3, and 2 with 4, then in the chorus rhyme lines 1 with 2, and 3 with 4.

4.  Sing the Title

After you have an idea for your song’s theme, use your imagination and start singing the title no matter how silly you think you sound.  You’ll be surprised at how inspired you already are by this time and thrilled when you hit some pretty good melody notes with your title  singing acapella!  Yes!  You are now actually writing a song.  This section will be your chorus.

5.  Write the Verses

Tell the story with your verses by introducing what the song is about with an interesting opening line.  Make sure the line leading into your chorus is a strong one that flows and helps the chorus make sense.

In the second verse move the story along and perhaps give your song’s story or feeling another dimension to keep the listeners interested. 

So jump right in!  The songwriting waters have never been been more clear and wide open as they are now, and here’s your chance.
