Theoretical/practical book on writing lyrics (paid):Ī book by Berklee educator, Andrea Stolpe. It showed me step by step how to build a lyric and gave me a the reasoning behind the approach. This Berklee course really changed how I think about the art of lyric-writing. In case it might help someone in a similar struggle, I'm listing my findings here: I now have a great time writing lyrics and I've been finishing my old songs on a weekly basis. The tools/resources listed below helped me become more confident in writing lyrics that express what I want to express and to do it in my own voice. In my frustration I started looking for tools and resources to help me become a better writer. I started to feel a sense of dread everytime I started to write lyrics, to the point I had written so many songs only for them to end up gathering dust on the shelf for years, cause I didn't know what lyrics to put to them.
Not knowing what to write about, not knowing what makes a good lyric. Through my songwriting journey I was always struggling with writing lyrics.
