What should I pay attention to when writing lyrics? Please, great gods.

If you want to write lyrics well, you must first understand the lyrics, which is different from poetry. Lyrics and poetry have a lot in common, for example, they both have the same artistic expertise, pay attention to rhythm and fluency, sublimate emotions and match words. The most important thing about lyrics is to pay attention to the easy-to-understand and simple language, which makes people want to sing at first sight. Poetry is another sublimation of language. You can't see, but you can feel. Secondly, the lyrics are the carrier of music. No matter how good the lyrics are, if you can't find the right music, they are like a jewel that has been lost in the light, and they are worthless. On the contrary, a good poem, even without music, can still make people read the artistic conception. If you want to write lyrics well, poetry is the foundation. How to write the lyrics? When you decide to write a lyric, don't do anything at first. Lin Zeng, a famous poet, used four words to express his creative feelings: no distractions. You know, the lyrics don't need fancy words. If you want to write touching lyrics in the most common and popular language, you should not start with the beauty of the language, but put all your feelings into it. Remember not to fantasize feebly. It is difficult for people with little experience to write lyrics like stories. Lyrics and poetry pay attention to connotation, and lyrics without connotation are skinny and bloodless. In recent years, China's popular lyrics have reached the peak, and various schools have emerged in an endless stream with various forms. Pop songs are mostly about love, freedom of singing, attachment and crying. It's overwhelming No wonder patriotic music and national lyrics are very popular in the industry and are worth a hundred times. About the beat of the lyrics. Lyrics are more rhythmic than modern poetry. Of course, it is easy to fill in a traditional lyric with a tune, and the rhyme comes with the music. With a complete tune as the basis, rhyme will naturally come out. Generally speaking, in the absence of music, to create a traditional lyric requires the author to have a certain concept of melody and set a prototype in his mind before writing. Traditional lyrics are generally divided into ABC, AB, AB, AB and Cab formats, with seven words and one sentence. For beginners who learn to write lyrics, AB format is the easiest, followed by ACB. In the creation of lyrics, paragraph A represents the backbone, that is, the topic at the beginning, and paragraph B represents the expression, that is, the climax of lyrics. And paragraph C is usually a chorus, which can be placed at the beginning or at the transitional climax. When writing each paragraph, you might as well write it sentence by sentence, and the difference in the number of words should not be too big, otherwise it will also bring certain difficulties to composition. Grasp the scale of rhyme. It is not recommended to use more than two rhymes in a word. If there is no special requirement for words, it is not recommended to change rhyme. Unless you are a top poet, you can use every rhyme without any flaws and stiffly. Generally speaking, when a lyric needs to rhyme, there are several points to pay attention to: First, don't rhyme in the middle of the same paragraph. Second, the best place to rhyme is at the end of a paragraph or the beginning of the second paragraph. Third, if the last sentence at the end of the paragraph rhymes, then the next paragraph must choose another rhyme, and it can't be the same as the last rhyme. The choice and collocation of words. As I said before, lyrics are different from poems, and popular words are needed. How to grasp the wonderful effect of these words piled together? Personally, I think creativity is the most important point in the creative process. Good sentences in many lyrics are rare. Don't look around just because you want to write a brilliant word. This deliberately written lyrics will appear stiff. Just relax yourself, maybe there will be wonderful sentences in your ear. Choose words. In different parts of the lyrics, the choice of words is also very particular. Especially under the premise of melody, fill in the words. We should grasp the connotation of melody and choose words with different strengths. In this way, even if you don't hear the melody, others will naturally think of the rhythm of the music. Section 1: Lyrics are poems assimilated by music. What are the lyrics? I think the lyrics are the content of the song and the literary language prepared for the song. Lyrics are called auditory art because they appeal to hearing and are also called time art, which means that lyrics are for people to listen to. A song is fleeting in three or four minutes, you should understand it as soon as you listen, and there is no time to ponder it. Although there is a TV with subtitles, I still listen to it most of the time. So, what's the difference between lyrics and poetry? Tracing back to the source, lyrics and poetry belong to the same family. In ancient times, songs were poems and poems were songs. From the Book of Songs to Yuefu in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, and then to Yuan Qu in Tang poetry and Song poetry, most of them can be sung. Poetry can be sung, which is one of the traditional features of China's poems and songs. With the development of history and culture, there are poems that can be read and poems that can be appreciated, and poems and words are separated. Today, there are not only a team of lyric writers, but also a large number of lyric lovers, and the team of lyric theory is gradually taking shape. Some young friends not only ask, are lyrics similar to poems in form? Indeed, the lyrics still have some poetic characteristics. Some people have this theory: "Write the lyrics into poems". My understanding of "when writing poetry" is to absorb some characteristics of poetry to serve singing. At this point, you can understand the topic of my section, that is to say, the lyrics used to be poems with many characteristics. Today, it is said to be a poem, which can only be said to be a poem assimilated by music. In other words, this kind of poetic lyrics is a kind of attachment at this time, which is the ontology of a song, and music is the wing. Only by combining, reorganizing and assimilating with music can it fly and produce a new artistic style-songs. At this point, no one said it was poetry or any other literary style. Poems that can enjoy music are packaged after being assimilated by music, giving people a new aesthetic mood. It is said that the lyrics are poems assimilated by music, because the lyrics at this time have the conditions to be assimilated by music, while the poems that can only be read do not have the conditions to be assimilated by music, so they cannot be called lyrics. So, what are the characteristics of poetry (lyrics) assimilated by music? In short, it can be summarized as: the theme is concentrated, the life is highly summarized, the image is vivid, and the language is concise and moving. Rigorous structure, short and pithy form, rhyming, catchy and easy to remember. Section 2: Lyrics are literary materials in the form of vocal music. There are many singing forms of vocal music, so the writing of lyrics is restricted by them. Different singing forms need different literary materials-lyrics. Many young people love to write lyrics, but they can only write one kind of lyrics, that is, solo. Some people don't even know there are other kinds of lyrics. How many lyrics are there? It is necessary to know how many vocal forms there are. What I am referring to here is not the singing method (Bel Canto, nationality, pop), but the type of songs. Generally speaking, there are the following kinds of songs: solo, duet, performance singing, chorus, chorus, group song, symphony chorus and so on. Of course, these forms are mainly decided by composers. However, the basic function of lyrics is also crucial, because what form of works composers create mostly depends on the content, length and style of lyrics. Below, I will briefly introduce the basic characteristics of these forms. Solo: As the name implies, when a person or a voice sings, the lyrics should be straightforward, lyrical and stretched, and paragraphs and sentences can be long or short, sometimes depending on the conditions of the singer. There are many examples of solo lyrics, so I won't repeat them here. Singing together is vocal songs, such as mass songs and queue songs. Lyrics require focused theme, short length and strong sense of rhythm. The Return of the Condor is such a song. Duet: including male and female voices, male voices, female duets, female trio, male quartet and so on. Lyrics should consider the needs of writing voices, sentences and words should not be too long, and symmetry should be stronger, so it should be considered when writing duets. For example, "Good Sisters in the Mountain Village" is a good mountain village with green mountains and green waters/there are two good sisters here/one is Hongmei and the other is Chunmei ... The lyrics are obviously written for a female duet. Of course, sometimes a ready-made song can be changed into a duet. Duet: This is a form of folk songs, which is usually sung by one person to another, sung by a group of people, with questions and answers. For example, what is the most beautiful flower? Woman: When I say that, you give the last one. What is the most beautiful flower? M: Now that you mention it, I'll give you a comparison. Opening new leaves and blossoming is the most beautiful ... performance singing: it is a form of singing, speaking and acting, which requires the lyrics to be performing and interesting. For example, "Uncle Cuban, where are you going" and "Eight Kings" are such songs. Chorus: divided into male chorus, female chorus and male chorus. This is mainly a two-part song. It should be more feminine for female students. What is written for boys should be masculine. The writing of lyrics is not much different from solo and duet. Chorus: A multi-part song sung by several people in several parts. Generally, the chorus is mostly an ode, so the lyrics should be magnificent and heroic. We should consider the characteristics of each sound. The so-called chorus does not necessarily have big lyrics, which is redundant. Of course, the Yellow River Chorus is another idea, another layout. As long as you study it, you can learn the essentials of writing such lyrics. Song group: refers to songs composed of several songs when expressing a theme. The lyrics are more rigorous, paying attention to layout and integration. Generally, it is done by a strong professional team. The Long March Suite is a typical example. Symphony Chorus: This is a song whose main function is to express the symphony orchestra, and the lyrics are not very important in the chorus. This kind of chorus is also qualified by a professional symphony orchestra, but we must understand its basic characteristics. The symphony Shajiabang belongs to this category, because it is adapted and not typical. What are the characteristics of poems (lyrics) assimilated by music? In short, it can be summarized as: the theme is concentrated, the life is highly summarized, the image is vivid, and the language is concise and moving. Rigorous structure, short and pithy form, rhyming, catchy and easy to remember. The creation of lyrics is different from poetry. Modern poetry is no longer limited to form and content, and a few short sentences can be a very authentic poem. But the lyrics are not. Poetry without charm can't be lyrics. Lyrics need to summarize strong feelings in concise language.
