Songwriting Challenge 2020 - Next Steps Developing Your Stories w/ Metaphor

This time around, we’re taking it to the bridge by adding two more chords to start giving our song a shape. We’re also looking at ways that dummy lyrics from session one can start to take their own shape and lead you toward more vivid and meaningful lines.

1. Beginners: now we have 4 chords to choose from!

2. Continue being thoughtful of rhythms and strumming patterns you bring to your creations.
3. Sing a melody over those chords, experiment and settle on one that fits your voice and sensibilities. Find a purpose for singing and the creative process (for you non-singers). You don’t have to master singing to create your own masterpiece.
4. Continue writing dummy lyrics that fit that melody... but be open to adapting your story around the “gems” within the dummy lyric.
5. Think of ways we color our stories with metaphor and build around a specific image.

Video tape your created work, and share it with us!!
