Topic: need songwriting help!

Hey all been awhile since I posted and as usual I need help haha.  I need lyric writing help.  Trying to write a Song for a particular girl but am having trouble expressing the words . I'm not so great at that.  Ib have a line I really like which is your more than just a girl in a dress.  Thinking about using that as part of the chorus. ? But if someone could help me with words it would mean a lot. Also need help with chorus . The progression I really likeis g bm c em. Dont know where to go from there. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Re: need songwriting help!

My recommendation is to make your song about what makes her more than just a girl in a dress to you...in your words, and don't make it too complex...the simple story songs are the easiest for people to understand. You want someone to hear it and be able to relate to what the word are saying, but you want them to relate to it with a tug of emotion if possible...with a thoughtful smile or maybe even a tear.

Re: need songwriting help!

My advice would be, not to over think the lyics. Don't beat yourself up, just keep it simple and let the emotion come across in your voice.

Re: need songwriting help!
