Because I made the LRC lyrics file a while ago and used two softwares, I feel that LyricsEditor is good. LRC fool editor, one is * * * to enjoy the software, to register; More importantly, you can only open mp3 files and give up after a little use. Then, I went to find and downloaded Kara LyricsEditor.
Forget the benefits, online reference:
"Kara Lyrics Editor can edit ordinary lrc files with timestamps line by line, and at the same time, it can add timestamps to each word to generate kok files that can be accurately displayed word by word for Kara MP3 players. The lyrics editor has a built-in player, which can automatically wrap the lyrics, jump to the next word, and automatically identify spaces, punctuation and so on. It is very convenient to operate. "
Moreover, this LyricsEditor is very small, and the main program is only 60K.
The LRC lyrics file is very simple, but when it is first made, it may be a bit strange. I don't know how to start (that's what I did). It is recommended to open an LRC file first (you can open it with notepad), so it will be easier to get familiar with the format before doing it.

Does the landlord want to write lyrics or lyrics for the song? Sorry, because you didn't make it clear in this article.
If it's lyrics, it's a bit difficult. You must be professional. Or you should be familiar with the melody of the song. At least listen to me many times. (Because I have written lyrics to others, but what were the songs created by our students and the school sports meeting in college? I mainly write lyrics)
But it's a long story. Let me give you some reference. Everyone has different ideas and methods.
1: There are two ways to write a popular song: one is to compose music according to the written lyrics, and the other is to write lyrics according to the existing songs; Both methods are often used now. For many friends with insufficient music foundation, it is relatively easy to write lyrics (or lyrics). However, it takes a lot of efforts to write a popular lyric with good content, good singing and good listening.
So, how can we create good lyrics?
First of all, we must understand that lyrics are not equal to poetry.
Modern poetry and popular lyrics do have a lot in common, both of which have broken through the limitations of traditional meter in many aspects and are more free in form and content. In essence, lyrics also have the artistic characteristics, expressive techniques and emotional characteristics of poetry, but they are still very different from poetry. The main reason is that the lyrics are influenced and restricted by the music melody in terms of structure, language and rhythm, which in turn restricts and affects the melody. Therefore, compared with modern poetry, popular lyrics have much less freedom and cannot be written at will. Moreover, the language should be easy to understand and try to avoid homophonic "abnormal meaning"; It's a pity that a good song was "ruined" by an ugly homophonic.
On the other hand, popular lyrics and modern poetry come down in one continuous line, so writing a good poem is the basis of creating popular lyrics. The experience of poetry creation can also bring great help to the creation of lyrics. The most remarkable thing is that successful poetry creation can make a person's words more concise, accurate and expressive, which will greatly promote the creation of lyrics.
Poetry is different from other styles in three aspects: concise and rhythmic language, more powerful expression and more rigorous structure. If poetry wants to have a moving expressive force in a relatively narrow space, it is impossible not to do these three things, and the lyrics are the same. Some friends' works are almost as free as writing prose poems. Although they can vividly express their inner feelings, the language is repetitive and even irregular in rhythm and rhythm. Even if the lyrics are good and touching, it is difficult to turn them into a song.
It can be said that lyrics creation: the first taboo, the language is not refined, not beautiful; The second taboo, rhythm and phonology do not match; The third taboo is abstruse or obscure language or simple preaching; The fourth taboo, the structure is chaotic; The fifth taboo is that there is no climax; Sixth, avoid bad homophones, destroy them without building them.
To create a song, you can create a song first, then fill in the lyrics, or you can compose music for the written lyrics. Most of us are used to the latter. So if you want to write a song, you must first touch the lyrics, so you must know the lyrics to be recreated.
What are the lyrics?
To put it simply, the words in songs developed from five-character poems, seven-character poems and folk songs, formed in the Tang Dynasty and prevailed in the Song Dynasty. It is a lyric poem and Yuefu poem that can be sung with tunes. Its strict beat and various features in form are determined by the requirements of music beat and phrase length.
Ci is different from poetry, which requires "setting sentences, setting words in sentences and setting sounds in words".
The rhyming position of each word tone has its own certain format. Poetry basically rhymes with even sentences, and the rhyming position of words is determined by curvature, that is, the pause of music. The musical rhythm of each sound is different, and the rhyme position is also different.
In terms of sentence length, although there are long and short sentences in the poem, five words and seven languages are the basic sentence patterns, and a large number of long and short sentences are used in words to better fit the curvature of the music.
Furthermore, in writing, we should judge pronunciation and use words, and the tone of words should match the tone of music score, so as to be harmonious and pleasant.
Second, the lyrics analysis
1 When you read a lyric, whether you are interested in it or moved by it, its content plays a decisive role. Therefore, we must first analyze its content to see what stories it tells, what it reflects, what philosophy it shows, what spirit it advocates, whether it is healthy and upward, and so on.
See what kind of mood it is. There are four aspects: joy, anger, sadness and joy, but it is more delicate and lyrical. Or passion? We must grasp the basic feelings of words.
Judging from the characters, all walks of life, men, women and children, should pay attention to highlighting their own characteristics.
From the formal point of view, first look at its overall structure, and then decide its musical form; Second, look at its format and analyze its long and short sentences, so as to handle phrases well and be creative.
In style, songs are generally required to have both a sense of the times and national characteristics, but the specific words need to be carefully analyzed. When designing music, we should consider whether the national style is better or lighter. Which local flavor should be highlighted? At the same time, we should pay attention to the use of music style consistent with the style of ci.
We should consider who this song is for. If we focus on the singer's singing skills, we should pay attention to the use of vocal skills. If it is written for everyone to sing, it should not be too difficult, it should be easy to catchy, and pay attention to the adaptability of the song.
At present, there are three kinds of singing methods in society, national, bel canto and popular. It depends on what kind of singing method the lyrics are suitable for, so as to highlight the characteristics of a certain singing method in music writing.
Pay special attention to the quality of the words, otherwise it would be a pity to reject the song because of the words.
According to the needs of music, the lyrics are deleted and modified as necessary.
First of all, we should be able to touch ourselves, and more importantly, we should be able to arouse the voices of others.
We must temper a lyric with all our emotions, combine the most touching stories and emotions in life, express them in the most accurate and vivid language, and pave the way with rigorous structure until the climax. To write what moves you the most, you should not only write in a dry mood, but also be moved by it again when reading your own work. If you can do this, you will take the most crucial step to success. But this step is also the most difficult, depending on whether your writing and talent are at home.
A real master may just listen to other people's stories, but he can also feel the same, on the one hand, because they have rich life experience, on the other hand, because they have profound insight into human nature, feelings and life. On this basis, we can write touching works by constantly honing our own words.
On the other hand, some people can't find that kind of "feeling" in what they write, although they have touching experiences and their writing is passable. This is because when writing, these friends ignore the clever telling of stories, the meticulous depiction of characters and the clever expression of inner feelings. They didn't draw the details Therefore, although the tone is warm and surging, there is always a little distance from being moved.
To sum up, to do the first point well, we must do the following six points from the beginning:
● Describe stories and emotions that you feel strongly about as much as possible;
● Have a deeper understanding and insight into human nature, feelings and even life;
● Pay attention to the depiction of details, especially those details that many people may have similar experiences;
● Don't talk about storytelling, give full play to the jumping characteristics of poetry, and aim the "lens" at the most representative picture;
● Don't be lyrical without a story, even if it is vague, there must be "fragments" or "shadows" of the story;
● Only the most essential sentences can climax. "The language is not amazing." If you can't think of wonderful words, you'll never write them.
Second, carefully plan the structure of lyrics, and grasp the rhythm of "connecting the past with the future".
After doing the first point, we should have a clear sense of the lyrics to be written, and at the same time, we should have the most wonderful words, and then we should carefully conceive the structure of the whole lyrics. Some friends can't wait to sit down and write as soon as they have a good feeling or words, which often leads to no good works. We should get into the habit of planning the lyrics first. There are four basic types of pop songs: one paragraph, two paragraphs, three paragraphs and many paragraphs. At present, pop songs are mostly three or more paragraphs, and one or two paragraphs are rarely used because they are too short to express emotions well. The style of a song is generally determined by its melody, such as "You at the same table" and "Sister" by Zhang Chu, which are all multi-styles.
The first article is about "Don't be lyrical without a story", which mainly uses three or more paragraphs for the overall layout, because it is relatively easy to use the method of "story+lyricism" when writing three paragraphs of lyrics. Moreover, if a lyric has a little story, it can better carry out the changes of "starting, inheriting, turning and combining". Although it sounds a bit old-fashioned, it is very important for friends who have just started to learn lyrics writing. In fact, most excellent lyrics have a good grasp of the structure of "connecting the past with the present".
Finally, we should pay attention to the end of the lyrics and the harmony of the whole word. There are generally three kinds of endings: one is to repeat all or part of the climax to the end; The second is the transition from climax to some function words; The third is to repeat the beginning (or change it slightly) to calm down the high-pitched mood. The end of the song is mainly arranged by the composer, but if the lyricist can take this into account when creating, it will leave more creative space for the composer. In addition, every paragraph of the whole word should echo back and forth, especially the details. Only in this way can we create perfect works.
It should be pointed out here that:
● Rise-the beginning is as important as the climax. Your story and your emotions should be attractive from the beginning;
● Commitment-the most difficult part, whether it can reach the climax smoothly depends on the last sentence or two;
● turning point-there is not necessarily an obvious "trace", but more likely a change in tone and tone;
I told you, don't write easily without thinking of this paragraph.
The end-let a person have a feeling of endless aftertaste.
Features of popular lyrics:
1。 There should be a natural written melody.
2。 There is a cadence and a golden sound.
3。 There should be an image, sound, form and appearance that blends scenes.
4。 There should be logical sentences.
Good lyrics must be written with content, story-like and plot-like, and can arouse the characteristics of humanistic enlightenment and humanistic care.
Good lyrics writing should be written by people who have both lyrics and songs, but there are too few such poets after all. Some people have strong writing ability, but lack the talent for music writing. Some people have a strong ability to master music, but they lack the necessary poetic quality. But as a successful lyric writer, the most basic concept should be: at least you can sing.
Good lyrics must be changed. Writers who are strict with words often take years to complete a lyric. (For example, Tayu Lo wrote childhood only to improve the lyrics, and waited for four years before it was published.)
Several principles of writing well:
1。 Lyrics and poetry are two artistic carriers.
Good lyrics are first of all good poems, but good poems are not necessarily good lyrics. Only words with musical and rhythmic sense can make the song icing on the cake.
2。 The theme of the lyrics should be focused.
The choice of lyrics is wide, but the topic must be focused. Don't have too many events, clues, characters and images in the song. . . . . .
3。 The title of the song should be original.
The title of the song is the meeting point of the main information and emotion of the lyrics, which should be accurate and easy to remember.
4。 Lyrics should have popular sentences and memory points.
The characteristic of popular songs is that you can remember one or two lyrics after listening to them several times. This is a popular sentence designed by the poet.
5。 The language of lyrics should be concise, colloquial, fashionable and popular.
Long and wordy lyrics are boring, and easy to understand is conducive to singing.
6。 The structure of lyrics should be clear.
The most basic structure of song form is: chorus, chorus, parenthesis and memory point (common sentence). There should be levels, climax, correspondence and contrast.
7。 Lyrics should pay attention to stories and plots.
Although the capacity of a lyric is not large, it is a cross-section of a story, with a head and a tail, a big scene and a close-up, and the whole part sets off each other.
8。 Lyrics should be positive and healthy.
Lyrics are an intuitive and public expression of the author's thoughts and feelings. The language of lyrics should avoid being too depressed, desperate, gloomy, extreme and vulgar.
If you test your lyrics according to these principles, I believe you will get different results!
3. The secret of lyrics.
Q 1。 Which comes first, the word or the song?
There is not necessarily a sequence between lyrics and melody. In my own experience, co-composers usually give me a song first, and then write lyrics. A few composers will ask me to provide them with lyrics first, because they think there will be more themes to stimulate them, and even write a scene or emotion in the lyrics. They can also play according to your frame and your format, but this kind of opportunity is rare. For people who love to write lyrics, if you don't have friends who compose music around you, your songs will be published or completed much less, which is a very helpless situation in the recording industry at present.
Q2。 What are the good lyrics?
How to calculate a good word, I think this is a big problem. It should be said that this song can produce moving power in the end, and this word should not be deducted. A song has words, melodies, singers and arrangers. If a song can be popular, it must have a score. Just like a movie, you may think that the script of the play is very good, or the actors' acting skills are particularly good, or the art design is very good. Every division of labor like this has its advantages and disadvantages. I seldom see every part of a good movie is good. If a song is really popular and sensational enough, every part should give full play to its strength. If the words themselves can be special and eye-catching, people will know what you are talking about. This is, of course, the success of a lyricist. I think this is a comprehensive art, and more importantly, the whole activity is completely matched.
Q3。 What are the bad lyrics?
Compared with the previous question, the antonym of good lyrics is bad lyrics. I think there is an anodyne lyric in the middle. Not bad, but nothing special, if ordinary. Of course, there are also such lyrics in the best-selling songs. At this time, this song was won by the power of melody and the charm of the singer. I can only say that the lyrics are not good because the words are too ordinary, or your words are very good, but others can't understand what the singer is singing. Only suitable for watching, not listening. Sometimes he compares the lyrics with other literary works, thinking that the lyrics are too colloquial or plain, but I still think that the lyrics are a comprehensive art, and if you only seek literal expression, it will sometimes hurt the integrity of the whole song.
Q4。 The difference between poetry and lyrics
In ancient times, many poems could be used for singing. Scholars who have studied it all know that what we see now, from Yuefu poetry to Tang poetry and Song poetry, may only see the expression of words, but in the past they were accompanied by melody. I don't think there is much difference between poetry and lyrics, but in this day and age, poetry is for reading. If you don't have a chance to be a song, why write them? You said you wrote a lyric just because you didn't want to add music. This is a very strange display. I probably have a lot of these lyrics in my drawer. There are many schools of poetry, and poetry is a very important one in pure literature. It can only be said that the lyrics are stronger than the neatness of the poem, and the rhyme angle is more exquisite than the poem. Besides, it is ok to put the spiritual beauty of modern poetry into modern songs, and many lyricists have tried it, so this part is not a problem. It should be said that the spirit of many literary works can learn from each other.
Q5。 Does it have to rhyme?
Whether the lyrics rhyme or not, basically they should rhyme. Usually when we look it up in the dictionary, ㄠ should all rhyme, but ㄠ and ㄤ are not very different. For example, ostentation and extravagance is not necessarily a rhyme angle with Yao Jiao. I think this part should also pay attention to rhyme, but it may not be so rigid. As for how to rhyme? A pop song may have several paragraphs. You may rhyme with A 1 and A2, and there may be another rhyme in Part B, which is quite flexible, especially when you are writing lyrics. After you hear the movement of the melody, you will know whether to use homophony or rhyme change here. This part is very learned. I can only say that you have to rhyme, but don't rhyme every line rigidly.
Q6。 Format of lyrics
If you just write lyrics, the way of music has limited you. For example, the music is very smooth, or there is only one big A song, and many songs are like this, so don't worry about the format. If you write a word out of thin air at home and no one gives you a melody, you should pay more attention, otherwise you should write an essay and a poem, because the basic format of the poem is not that important. If you refer to the songbooks of popular songs, you will find that there is a standard to distinguish paragraphs, that is, four sentences become an A, A 1 followed by an A2, and four sentences are a B 1 and B2. This is the most standard way of writing. A is three lines and a paragraph, or some people are three lines of A, and then B becomes four lines. If you can compose music, you will know it when you write the chorus. It's the same as painting, not coloring in the grid. I think people with a heart will refer to the lyrics published now, and you will find that a word has many formats, but there is no format at all. Is it a word after all? When a musician gets these words, is it convenient for him to compose music? This is what the lyricist needs to consider.
Q7。 Choice of theme
I think there is still no escape from love in pop songs, accounting for 80%. The rest may be friendship, inspiration, dance music, and some insights from life. Of course, some of them are for activities, such as public welfare songs. To talk about the theme, in fact, the whole art world is very broad, but if you want to talk about how to sell a song easily, it's another matter, depending on whether the theme record company you wrote is interested or not, and whether there are suitable singers.
Q8。 Source of inspiration
The inspiration for writing your own lyrics actually comes from life and reading. I often say that if a person writes well, he may have talked about unforgettable love and can write hundreds of lyrics and novels. The point is not the amount of experience, but the quality of experience and your own talent. To put it bluntly, it is very important. I can't tell you how to cultivate inspiration in one way. Some books can stimulate imagination and observation. However, I doubt whether it can become the creativity of words and images. Any artist must have more than 70% talent, and the remaining 30% depends on hard work. Everyone pursues inspiration in different ways. I think everyone should try to find a way to cultivate inspiration that is closest to their own taste and frequency.
Q9。 Submission method
In fact, I can understand this kind of thing, because when I was a soldier, I wrote more than a dozen songs to the record company, and they were rejected several times. Many people think I can write something when they see that the pop music scene is so vigorous. I also hope that some singers can produce something, but there are only a few record companies and few can be singers. There are many people writing songs together now. How can a person who has written alone be published? The first route is to contribute to the production department of the record company. Usually, some producers will see your work. Believe me, 99/ 10 are all lost, and the quality of the first submission may not be good enough. Second, the recording industry is a highly competitive industry. They trust big brands, well-known brands and mature brands. It's very low for the record production department to match the lyrics with your stuff. The other is like "I want a music station" through the website. Or organize some activities to provide newcomers with an opportunity to publish. I emphasize that this is an opportunity, not a decisive opportunity. As we all know, there are so many people who want to write, but only a few can succeed. If you don't write well, how can you compare with the professional lyricist on the table now? Apart from your intelligence and your drive, I think it is more suitable for a newcomer to go to deuex. The road to submission has been long and the failure rate is high. At first, it was rejected, but now it is often suspected by producers and singers. Finally, there are some rejected things in my drawer.
Q 10。 Collocation of words and songs
There is no trick to how to match the melody when writing lyrics. My experience is to listen repeatedly, how the melody will make me feel, determine the number of words, and then find the stress. This is a more rigorous lyricist will consider. In addition, the melody will have high and low ranges. How to balance the sound of the melody itself? When writing lyrics, I often sing this passage repeatedly. I think the picture I sing in is different from the emotion of music. Of course, the same melody can also be accompanied by different plots. When choosing a plot, you should be incisive. Some people only write lyrics and don't pay attention to music, but I still have a little success in this industry. That is, when I write lyrics, I will consider the priorities of music itself. At this time, it is fear or relaxation, tenderness or melancholy. You have to listen to the melody repeatedly to feel it. I can only remind you that you must sing more with the melody. If you were a singer, would you be devoted to singing this word? Do you believe the story after adding this word to music?
These are the materials I collected for you, but I want to make some personal suggestions:
If you want to create, you have to be inspired!
Where did the inspiration come from? Inspiration comes from life!
So, relax yourself and don't think about the lyrics or anything. Live a good life, and you will suddenly find an inspiration in a certain detail in your life! As for whether you can grasp it, it depends on your understanding. Understanding is very important. Not everyone can be a composer! (This is not an attack. )
I still hope I can help you, but this matter can't be rushed.
Most importantly, I still want to say that others can't help you with your lyrics. It's mainly up to you to calm down and think slowly. I believe you will succeed. Instead of writing it twice at a time, write it slowly and change it slowly. I wrote to my classmates for more than a week last time. Just listening to his music, I have listened to it many times. Ha ha. I wish you early success.
