If you’ve ever filled journals with words but felt stuck turning them into a song—or if you have music you love but freeze when it’s time to add lyrics—this episode is for you.
In this episode, I’m sharing a simple way to move from journaling into song lyrics without forcing meaning, overthinking, or trying to get it “right.” We’ll talk about how lyrics actually take shape over time, why journaling is already a powerful part of the songwriting process, and how to begin shaping words into songs in a way that feels natural.
You’ll learn:
- A simple process for shaping raw language into lyrics
- How to bridge the gap between words and music—whether you start with lyrics or melody
- How this fits into a gentle, repeatable songwriting practice
This episode is especially for singer-songwriters who want a clear place to begin, without pressure to finish a song or have something profound to say right away.
Most songs aren’t written all at once (It can happen! Stay open to the magic!)— they’re usually written in stages. This episode focuses on one of the most important ones.
