Unexpected ideas
Put together a character, a problem, a place, an object, or something you overheard, and you have a story that already wants to move.
Make the problem smaller. Generate one odd idea, one chorus line, or one clash of styles, and hear it right away. The first take is rarely the song, but it usually points at the one worth writing.
Explore the idea, the lyrics, and the music together instead of staring at a blank page.
Put together a character, a problem, a place, an object, or something you overheard, and you have a story that already wants to move.
Turn a title or chorus line into a song and hear whether the words stick when they repeat.
Try the same lyric idea in very different styles to find the version that surprises you.
Limits get you moving. Pick one option from each step and generate before you overthink it.
Write as a person, a place, an object, or a future version of yourself, not as a feeling.
Decide what happens between the first verse and the final chorus. A song needs somewhere to go.
Pair sad words with bright dance-pop, a tiny story with arena rock, or a modern subject with an old style.
Use these as they are, or change one part to make the idea your own.
“A gospel-influenced soul song sung by someone practicing an apology they never give”
“A cheerful synth-pop song about two neighbors who only talk through their WiFi network names”
“A sparse folk song sung by a thrift-store jacket remembering everyone who ever wore it”
