How to write lyrics? How to write a song?

Especially young people prefer songs. They not only love singing, but also write their own songs. Every song must have lyrics, and writing a song must first write lyrics, so there is a problem of understanding the basic characteristics of lyrics and mastering lyrics skills. Speaking of lyrics creation, it is very complicated and hard. Some people have been writing for many years and still don't understand the lyrics. Today, I chatted with my friends about how to write lyrics. Some are my practice, my thinking, some are borrowed from others, and some are established things. If writing lyrics is to draw a dragon, then the skill is to "make the finishing point" for the dragon, which will not happen overnight. Let's start with the basics! Section 1: Lyrics are poems assimilated by music. Lyrics are called auditory art, also called time art, because it appeals to hearing, that is to say, lyrics are for people to listen to. A song is fleeting in three or four minutes. So as soon as you listen, you should understand that there is no time to ponder. Although there are TV subtitles now, I still rely on listening 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.
