🎸 Songwriting Tip: Write with Pictures, Not Statements 🌙
When I wrote Front Porch Moonlight, I didn’t start with “I feel peaceful.”Instead, I pictured the porch, the night sky, the crickets, the glow.
👉 Here’s the tip:Write images, not statements.Don’t say “I’m lonely.”Say “An empty chair by the fire keeps staring back at me.”
Pictures hit harder than plain words — they make listeners feel it without you spelling it out.
💬 What about you?
- Do you have a lyric where you used an image instead of saying the feeling straight out?
- Or do you struggle with this — turning emotions into images?
Drop your lines below 👇 Let’s swap some lyric ideas.
