Need a song lyric idea? use The Song Idea Generator.
One of the most difficult parts about being a songwriter is coming up with new ideas for songs.
When you’re stuck in that “I’ve got nothing” feeling, it can be hard to know where to look next for a topic to write song lyrics.
That’s why I built the free song lyric idea generator…
How do you come up with songwriting ideas?
Using the lyric idea generator is easy. Just hit Randomize and a new song Synopsis will appear.
The synopsis is made of the three fundamental ingredients for a new song idea.
The Theme is the song’s topic. For example…’ moving on from a previous relationship’.
Emotion is how you feel about the topic. For example…’ devastated’.
Attitude, This is what you think about it…’ confusing’.
How to make a song lyrics
The next step is crucial when using your new song synopsis.
You have to make a personal connection to the song idea.
Take a few minutes to think about a personal experience that you can relate to the synopsis.
Does it remind you of a time in your life when something similar happened?
If not in your life, then what about someone you know?
Looking at your past experiences through the lens of this synopsis can be a great way to find “emotional juice” in situations you would not have considered worth writing a song about before.
Here are 9 questions to help you make that personal connection.
- Who is singing and who or what are they singing to/about?
- What situation are you in?
- Why are you in this situation?
- When and where is it happening?
- Why is this situation notable?
- What problem does this situation cause?
- What emotion does this problem create?
- Why does it matter?
- What do you want or What are you going to do about it?
I hope you enjoy all the song ideas that come from the song idea generator.
