base it off true experiences

use words that u don't hear often 2 make ur song more unique

well think of how you feel right now
you start writing the verse 1
then chorus
then bridge
the chorus is a part that repeats after every verse
and is the same throught the whole song
the bridge is kinda like the chorus but tells about that story
differently it is also the same through
then at the end make it different
add me and maybe i can help =]]

put yourself in different atmospheres, this can strike up different moods, different perspectives, ideas.

then just start free writing about anything, about stuff you see, about your life, smells, anything that pops into your head. Then read what you wrote and something might grab at you to use.

Write how you feel and your experience with your life. Good Luck.

1. You dont always have to rhyme.
2. Use phrases that you say everyday, they seem more genuine.
3. Dont force it...people can pick up on forced sounds.
4. Know the tempo or melody of the song before you get too far into writing it.. it helps the flow of words if you know how they are going to be sung.
5. Dont write for anyone but yourself.
6. Write something when your super -pi ssed off. All that emotion makes for a killer song..
7. Look for inspiration everywhere...listen to others talk for lines that could possibly become a great hook..

Good Luck!!!

Tips For writing a song?
well.
1. make it complex. dont write a song about how fun it was at the grocery store.
2. give it feeling. dont sing something you dont deeply believe in.
and thats all right now.

Always remember that the lines of a song has syllables like words do. EXAMPLE :

We be--came friends at first, we walk for a while.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Hand in hand , we turn to each oth--er and smile.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

The words don't need to rhyme in the end of the each line.
Write with your heart and not with your head. To be able to use great insight is key in writing songs. One must look outside of the box.
I hope this helped you, God Bless you

Here is the whole song; copywritten 1997

JUST MEANT TO BE

What brought us together, you and me?
Was it alway in our future, just meant to be.
We became friends at first, we walk for a while.
Hand in hand, we turn to each othe and smile.

Bridge:
It can't be true love, our hearts, pounding new emotions.
Why do we feel this way, could it be devotion?
No, it's to early for this, our thoughts the same.
We give into our feelings, love is no game.

Talking as if we've known each other for years,
Looking at each other, comes emotional tears.
Tenderness fills our hearts, with love.
Soft music surrounds us from above.

Walking as if floating on air, walking on the sand,
Simple enough it started, walking hand in hand.
We must follow our hearts, our emotions agree.
Was it in our future, or just meant to be?

CHORUS :
Only friends, ya; only friends on the beach,
Out of nowhere, two hearts come within reach.
It can happen, two hearts becoming one.
More than friends,watching the setting sun.
