Lyrics - Rikky Rooksby

Lyrics sheds light on all aspects of lyric writing for music and will make songwriters feel more confident and creative when they tackle lyrics. It's perfect for all songwriters: those who don't like their own lyrics and find them difficult to write
experienced writers looking for a creative edge
and those offering lyrics to set to music in a partnership. Topics include channeling personal experiences into lyrics
overcoming writer's block
the right lyrics for a bridge
the separation between lyrics and poetry
exploring imagery and metaphor
avoiding clichs
and more. The book also offers tips on the various styles of lyrics
from protests
spirituals
and confessionals to narratives and comic songs.
