What are the skills of writing lyrics?

Lyrics skills:

After the theme of the lyrics is established, we must first find a good source of emotion and recognize what kind of emotional plot can impress people, inspire composers, inspire listeners and develop.

For example, the first four sentences of the lyrics "We are Friends" are well grasped: "It's hard to find a confidant in a thousand miles, and it's easy to make friends in many lines, so we can be friends from now on"! It is the emotional source of the lyrics, and the phrase "it is difficult to find a bosom friend in a thousand miles" stirs up feelings and makes people excited. People are looking forward to listening, and this source will bring a lot of content.

Next, it is necessary to find the right emotional point, so there will be "making new friends, not forgetting old friends, how many new friends there are, and becoming old friends." These two sentences are the theme of the lyrics, eyes and emotional points, which can express the depth of the theme of the lyrics, so they are called the emotional core! This emotional core is also the strongest feeling obtained and expressed by the author at the most exciting moment. The source of emotion is exciting, and the point of emotion should be touching. At this time, it was time for a sharp turn, so the lyrics began to end, that is, the emotional ending ended.

Extended data

Lyrics are a kind of poetry. Those who enjoy music are called songs, while those who don't enjoy music are called poems (or words). Songs entering music are no different from poems in emotional expression and image-building, but they are restricted by music in structure and rhythm, taking care of the convenience of singing in rhythm, and considering the characteristics of auditory art in wording and sentence-making, because they want to sing in music. The main difference between lyrics and poetry is that poetry does not have to be harmonious, but lyrics must be harmonious. Music and harmony became a song. Lyrics usually appear with the melody of the song, and lyrics are the original intention of the song. Modern sentences are usually accompanied by music and easy to hum.
