Writing song lyrics
As it says in my Twitter bio, I describe
myself as an aspiring writer. Writing makes up a massive part of my life and is
something I love doing and have hope to do professionally one day. I write both
long and short stories as well as poetry. However, today I’m going to talk
about another type of writing I used to do.
Back when I was around fourteen, I
began writing my own song lyrics. Despite the fact that I had no music to go
with them, I was incredibly proud of this part of my life. I know that at one
stage, I had somewhere between twenty and thirty sets of lyrics in folders on
my computer and in binders in my bedroom. They were my way of expressing the
deep feelings, both positive and negative, that I was going through at the
time, but also they were my method of dealing with all of the experiences of
that time in my life. Looking back, they probably weren’t the greatest lyrics
in the world but at the time, they were the best means of coping with any problems
I had.
Now, seven years on, having grown
up and gained a lot more experience of life and the world around me, the
concepts behind some of my songs have transformed themselves into different
kinds of writing. Some have become short stories, others have turned into
poetry and the odd set of lyrics has changed into an idea for a longer story. But
the emotions and the stories behind them are what hasn’t changed over time, whereas
how I deal with them and write about them definitely has.
It is clear now that this is what
has made me into the aspiring writer I describe myself as. My love for words
and for writing (oh and music too) were obviously what drove me to put my heart
into writing song lyrics and this is what still motivates me when it comes to
writing today. I am still spurred on by that same goal of putting all of my
feelings down to make them easier to deal with.
Here you have it, I have just
shared another very personal aspect of my life with you. Let me know on all of
the social media links below whether you did something similar. Did you write
song lyrics? Do you want me to share some of mine with you in the future? Also
comment down below if you liked this post. By the way, stay tuned for Monday’s
post which will be the next in my new series all about colour, colour
combinations and all things of that nature so make sure you’ve read the first
one all about warm colours before then. So, until Monday, keep reading, keep
following and above all, keep believing.
