The creative process of lyrics and words to songs

Writing lyrics and words to songs is a very creative thing to do. When you are about to sit down and write a song for the first time, you can place yourself in a meditative state so you can absorb information from your higher self. In other words dig deep son! How do you feel right now? Some songwriters write music based on their feelings. It can be quite soothing to the soul.

You need your pen and paper.. or pencil.. or simply just start typing. It does help the creative process if you are in a quiet place where you can hear yourself think. You can jot down ideas until the lyrics and words to songs start flowing naturally.

Here are some of the top 3 Lyrics and words to songs

1 – Katy Perry E.T Lyrics

Boy you’re an alien

(We hear that one a lot throughout the song)

2 - Adele Rolling In The Deep Lyrics

You had your heart inside your hand and you played it to the beat

(wow adele is a lot more deep and her lyrics are much more powerful then the pop kind, not to mention she has a beautiful voice)

3 - The Black Eyed Peas Just Can’t Get Enough Lyrics

Love you, love you, you know you are my demon

(Those guys seriously rock out when its time)

If you look up google you will find that lyrics mean they are a bunch of words that make up a complete song. Well any lyrics and words to songs can be written but that doesn’t mean they are actually good. I am sure you heard some songs where the lyrics make you laugh or cry while others make you say “What the?”.

Moving on, if you want to talk about the oldies. Back in the day those lyrics and words to songs can right from deep inside the heart. No one was trying to be a mac daddy player. Men just wanted one woman and would write about her. Now you have all these little bratts that want all the women to fall at their feet. It is just not realistic. Sure it could make you happy for a little while but then what? Then you are alone in your expensive hotel room with no real friends to call and your reading comments about yourself on twitter. Just saying!

The good old lyrics and words to songs when we talked about love and it meant something

Particularly if you factor in love. These singers really knew the best way to sing about love. All the cherished woman out there had it good. Right now’s songs don’t have anything on oldies music lyrics. First of all it’s uncommon to search out an artist singing about real love. What happened to music? Additionally the thing that helped the old fashioned singers create nice lyrics had been their musicians who used real instruments, not digital music and synthesizers.

Where is the talent? Sure now its about fashion, plastic surgery and whatever else is in main straem music. Just listen to the radio or watch music videos on TV. All you will find is inappropriate short skirts with a bikini top. So un-classy. If those women had any class they would wear a short skirt with a long sleeve top.. or a tank top with big baggy bell bottom pants. Now THOSE were the days! Not this ‘leave nothing to the imagination’ business.

When we are talking about lyrics from songs we love these days, listen, I mean actually listen to what they are saying. Most people don’t even listen they just like the beat and dancing to it which is fair enough but seriously back in the day is where lyrics and words to songs are at!

Lets face it lyrics and words to songs are an art form. When lyrics pick you up off the couch and make you want to dance and sing, when you actually feel like picking up the vaccum and cleaning, when your heart beats with love then THAT is when it truly does become art. Much more powerful then just entertainment.

Most people enjoy music. Those who don’t have not found the right gendre to listen to just yet. The lyrics and words to songs tell us a fascinating story for us to enjoy and love. Next time you hear a beautiful song actually listen closely.

In a way we can learn a lot about the artists we admire and listen to by actually listening to their lyrics. Some singers have tricky lyrics which makes it hard to undertsand the actual meaning of the song while others actually just have such poor english slang, even though that is cool where they come from, the rest of the english speaking nations make fun of them.

For example what is up with white guys in America always trying to talk like they have no education? Saying things like “yo dogg” It is funny as a joke but I think some of these guys are serious. No judgemnt as I used to be like that too. In highschool in Canada we used to make jokes about it and eventually talk like that. Hey yo. My cousin lives in New York city and she talks like that and I love it. “Let’s spark an ism” she would say… ah the good ol’ days.

So back to lyrics and words to songs, when you truly listen you can see what the story of the song represents. One one side you might be thinking of a brake up but then you find the song writer is talking about his brother who did heroin. I was going to let you guess what it is but I will just spill the beans. It is crowded house, you better be home soon.

“I know i’m right for the first time in my life, you better be home soon”

Which at first we think it is about missing a girlfriend but then we find out that the lyrics and words to songs are actually in fact about his brother who lost it.

Music is very interesting. I recommend you actually listen to lyrics and words to songs next time you hit play.
