Tools To Help With #Songwriting



If you create your own lyrics, the below tools will help make things easier for you. If you're a songwriter by trade, they should help you too.

Pen & Lyric Book (Notepad)
Ok, so I thought I'd start out with the very basics. :)
This one should be obvious so I won't spend much time on it. In order to write down your lyrics, you need the tools. I suggest you go for a small sized note pad which

you can carry around with you. You never know when you're going to get a good idea for a lyric, so if you can whip out your pen and notebook wherever you are, that's ideal.

Vital: A Android Or Apple Smartphone
While pen and paper used to be the staple for songwriters, these days smartphones are becoming an increasingly popular tool for writing down lyrics on the move. That said, you need to install one of the following apps to make this work:

Lyric Writing App For Your Smartphone
Most smartphones come preinstalled with a 'note pad' type app (Android / Apple). While these are often all you need for writing down your lyrics easily, there are also some 'premium' apps out there which you can buy for extra features or to take away ads. Until you're a earning musician you should stick with the free apps though, as for most they do the job just fine.

Songwriting Guide
If you're still new to songwriting and want to get your writing skills up, you'll want to check my guide on writing a song. If you've read that and want extra help however, you can also get a bigger book on the subject. This one by Pat Pattison is highly recommended.
