So I’ve had the thought that I want to start writing lyrics to my beats. I love re-listening to my songs, but something is missing from them, and I feel like it’s vocals. When I was in college, I was a very good creative writer. I’ve always been my entire life. I’m thinking to re-hone that skill and start writing lyrics every day to whatever beat I’m working on at the moment. I know writing “rap” lyrics isn’t the same as writing a term paper or essay, but I think some of the skills do convert.
I want to spend at least 45 minutes a day after work and more time on the weekends just writing lyrics. I want to see how creative I can get with rhyming, using wordplay, and things like that. I have a notebook I am going to start writing in and hopefully I can get decent at it. Maybe I can do it when I go into work on my lunch break with my MPC as well.
I’ll report back here how this little “project” is going and I’ll share any full songs I make on Distrokid or my Bandcamp page. I’m not looking to blow up as an emcee, but I would like for people to enjoy my music. I think I have a lot of interesting things to say and it will be fun trying to weave those things into the verses of a song. We’ll see how it goes. Stay tuned! Peace!
