About this ebook

This book is the companion practicum volume to Lyrics First: How to 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 of "How To" 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.
