Lyrical Language, Structure & The BIG Idea!

Do you want to learn the Songcraft Secrets of writing Powerful Lyrics?

This week we will uncover the art of deceptively Simple Lyrics, how to generate not just great song ideas but ones that are 'writable' & how to 'map out' an effective, well-structured, original song.

This series of 3 fully interactive presentations with exercises will inspire you to Plan, Progress and Perfect the lyrics of your songs in any genre, from deceptively Simple Language to Stunning Wordplay.

It includes the following comprehensive Lyric Writing sessions (booking links below):

04/09/25 – Lyrical Language, Structure & The BIG Idea!
11/09/25 – Develop your Lyrics with Imagery, Storytelling & Rhyme
18/09/25 – Transform your Lyrics with Wordplay & Prosody

By analysing classic & contemporary songs from The Beatles to Billie Eilish, Dylan to Stormzy, as well as a nod to The Great American Songbook, you will learn the elements of what makes a great lyric in any genre & how to include them in your own writing.

These sessions are suitable for songwriters at all levels, whether pure lyricists or composers.

There is more than enough information each week to be taken as a standalone session at £20 - however, sign up for all three sessions on this page now and the total is an early-bird £47, a 22% discount for this Meetup Group:
