HOW TO MATCH LYRICS TO YOUR MELODY

For songwriters it can be difficult to match a lyric to your melody, especially if they don’t both start out together. Even if you do get an idea that contains both lyrics and melody, you can still run into plenty of problems as you develop that idea.

In this video, I talk about how to match lyrics to your melody and cover the main elements that they have in common, pitch and rhythm, I also look at these in the context of a song, because they don’t work independently, they interact with each other when it comes to the songwriting process.

These videos are meant to break down the songwriting process into easy to use tips, techniques, and tools that spark creativity and help you apply them like the pros. I do my best to make videos that share the 'secrets' of writing great songs without holding anything back.

My main focus with this channel is to pass on the tools of the trade that I have learned and found to make a big difference to my creative flow and songwriting. There is an old saying that goes "everybody has one great song in them", I hope to show you that once you know what makes a song great, you can apply it to all the songs you write. Start from the heart, follow your gut and revise with your mind.
