Focusing on your senses can help you understand how to incorporate more imagery in the lyrics of your songs. In this video, songwriter and Berklee Online course author Andrea Stolpe discusses how practicing sensory writing every day for five to ten minutes leads to self-discovery and keeps writer’s block at bay. Focus in on your senses as you write your lyrics—taste, touch, sight, sound, smell—and then try to incorporate movement, and awareness. She also discusses simple exercises like attaching a time to a location, and how that can serve as a jumping off point to conjure up more vivid imagery for your songs.
