Songwriting Tip No.2 Articles / Music Views Posted by PKelly on Jun 03, 2005 - 04:52 AM Songwriting Tip No.2 Colourful text phrases––Here’s a second songwriting tip also involving the creation of memorable text phrases, and as long as it’s used for a reason and not overused, it can be a particularly useful tool. Alliteration, the putting together of words that begin with the same letter or consonant sound, can be another one of those ear catching devices that can hook your listener and make your song more memorable. For instance, “ in the cool, cool, cool of the evening,” or “strawberry fields forever,” are more memorable in the way that they linger in the ear than if they were “in the cool soft breeze of the evening” or “strawberry fields eternally.” Neither of those lines is bad but they’re not the ear candy that the former lines are, and that can make the difference between a line that is memorable and one that is quickly forgotten.
