Writing a song seems to be an interesting pastime for some people. However, there always comes the question of where to start writing a song. It is hard to believe, but it is from the song title that a song gets started.
Itís no use starting to write a song until you have a title that moves you, as it is the title that is going to be your chorus, the hook and heart of the song. It is the song title that is going to be the guiding beacon of your song. So start looking around for good titles that have energy for you; perhaps action words, images or some short phrases. You can get that phrase all around you, in the newspaper, conversations, television or magazine. Write all the ideas you get and then choose the one that is most appropriate to you. Once you get the right song title, writing the song proves to flow along, as you ask questions about the song title, and look for their answers. Then you could also make a list of all the words and phrases that are associated with the song title to get more lyrics for your song.
However, when writing song titles, there are a few rules that have to be followed. The first and last words should always be capitalized to provide the effect of the song title. Of course, articles, conjunctions and prepositions that are less than five letters long neednít be capitalized in the song title. Prepositions are only capitalized if they are the first or last word of the song title. Even prepositions that are part of a two-word phrase, like Come On, have to be capitalized in the song title. Even remember that the short words like also, if, than, when have to be capitalized in the song title. If you follow these rules and ideas, you are bound to come up with a song title that surpasses all other song titles.
