![]() ![]() Beres Hammond - Love Means Never To Say You're Sorry.Jah Vinci - Nobody Knows (Where Do Angels Go).Some of the top Emotional Reggae Songs which readily comes to mind are: There are many people who are hurting but always pretend as though everything is fine with them just to get by and escape that harsh criticism of people who will never understand or careless to help. The struggles, pain and aspirations of the youths. This song speaks of the hardships that "youths in the ghetto" go through. One of the most emotional Reggae song for me is Jahvinci's "In My Life". The song is directed to fathers who did not support their child/children, leaving the mother struggling with raising their child/children. I was prompted to write this article after listening to the artist Jahvinci's "Wipe Those Tears". Some of these songs are structured as if the artist(s) are singing your specific life stories. Also, don’t be afraid to walk away from them for a while, because sometimes sticking with it just to get it done excludes you from the freedom of ideas you can have when you aren’t straining for it to breaking point.Some people call some of these songs reality. Work and work with lyrics until you’ve explored every turn of every phrase, and you’re satisfied. Write your own lyrics to existing songs, make up lyrics to instrumental tracks. Understand how a word is constructed, and you’ll be able to link them to other words using those literary conventions effectively.Īnd practice all of these, go have fun with it, push your limits! Do slow songs, fast songs, happy and sad songs. Know why a phrase or a repetition of words sounds good, and you’ll be able to scout out new phrases and words that’ll sound beautiful together. They’ll give you more ways to shape the flow of words. Consonance and assonance and alliteration are all really good tools, as are varying rhyme schemes and internal rhymes and stuff. Words are your arsenal, so knowing them intimately is a really good idea. I think a bunch of people have said that lyrics are poems set to music, and I completely agree. Poems are essentially boiling down an idea or a mood to their barest of words, and setting those words in a constrained formula (i.e. And then I try to construct the words and pretty phrases around that central theme and tone.Īs for the actual technicalities of lyrics, knowing poetry and literary conventions and some linguistics helps a ton.

Probably more than literal meaning, it’s the mood of a song that sets the pace for everything else in my lyrics. And every undertaking is a struggle, really you’ve got to wrestle with the timing and the rhymes and the meaning and try to get it all to BEHAVE in an ORDERLY MANNER. Either way the lyrics rock!ĭude, I wish I had some magic advice to give, other than the old “practice, and then practice some more” spiel, but that’s really where you struggle it out. Your lyrics are amazing! If you don’t mind me asking, I was wondering how you get everything to rhyme and flow so well? (Trying to get better at writing lyrics myself) I understand if you don’t want to tell me and there will be no hard feelings. ![]() My friend wrote these, if any of you fine folks wanna sing em!Īnd I ended up typing out this essay, so I thought it was worth posting here and getting it out of the comments section. So please, oh won’t you please at least say that you hate me I heard you say, “thank you so much for being born” I heard your cries, that my disguise was torn The trick I pulled unraveled at the seams It must have shown ‘cause the tears started again Maybe the memory loss had messed with you, “You know it seems that you aren’t so serious This sin of mine is growing every day how can I keep My memory had gone, now tell am I fooling?
