- Lyrics
- First:
- How

- Write
- Effective
- Song
- Lyrics
- (ISBN
- 9780645371239).
- Due
- to
- length
- I
- decided
- to
- split
- that
- initial
- manuscript
- into
- a
- "core"
- with
- the
- basic
- approach,
- and
- then
- this
- follow
- on

- examples.
- The
- purpose
- of
- the
- book
- is
- to
- give
- the
- song
- lyric
- writer
- a
- more
- hands
- on
- "cookup"
- feel.
- We
- look
- at
- creating
- lyrics
- in
- the
- style
- of
- Taylor
- Swift,
- Joan
- Armatrading,
- Lou
- Reed,
- Bob
- Dylan,
- and
- the
- Grateful
- Dead
- among
- others
- for
- our
- cookups.
- Understand
- we
- are
- concerned
- with
- LYRICS,
- not
- the
- melody,
- harmony,
- etc.
- We
- also
- cover
- a
- lot
- of
- practical
- ground
- like
- how
- to
- write
- a
- funny
- song,
- how
- to
- write
- about
- subjects
- like
- altered
- states
- of
- consciousness,
- transgression,
- etc.From
