    Just went down a rabbit hole to gather some information. Hopefully it’s helpful.

    Theres some cool apps for writing, or writing lyrics
    Word Palette is a cool app

    I use and abuse this cut-up app for many things. Highly recommended if you like the cut up technique.

    Awesome! :) Yes, I'm glad these apps are available for messing around with words. ❤️

    It’s a fun app. I used it first for my ttrpg hobby but it’s great for songwriting. I loaded it up with a bunch of power ballad lyrics lol

    Found this article. No need to buy the book, as the concept of "blueprinting" your song is laid out in great detail here.

    https://songtown.com/on-songwriting/each-part-of-a-song-has-a-job/

    Here's another SongTown article to read. It's shorter than the "blueprinting" one, but valuable information just the same. More like a guide for beginning songwriters (me) than intermediate or advanced songwriters, but it gets to the heart of things. :)

    hey jwm,

    I was just browsing a cliche phrases dictionary that I bought on discount on Kindle. As I was reading through the phrases, I thought they could work either as inspiration or a lyric line.

    For example, "an open book" reminded me of a Motley Crue lyric in Home Sweet Home, but there were others that made me want to write a new song immediately lol.

    For example, cliches and their meanings

    "All wool and a yard wide" - meaning genuine and not a sham

    "All hell breaks loose"

    "All for naught"

    "age before beauty"

    "babe in the woods"

    "Back on the wrong horse"

    Idk, I read all of those and they seem so fun as either song titles or lyrics somewhere. :)

    Nice! :) There are ways to put a new spin on a cliche that's original and unique. To twist it around as it were. :)

    I purchased the SongTown book on Kindle as well as Pat Pattison's two books. :) I tried to read from the books themselves but find it difficult to hold most of them open without cracking the spine. 🫣 So Kindle Scribe it is, lol. I think the books I had trouble reading on a regular Kindle were the "how to draw" ones, but I've found this Kindle Scribe the perfect screen size for reading anything. Not a bad weight to the device either. Easy to hold in one hand compared to, say, an M3 iPad Air 13". Lol.

    Plus, I can take notes on the Kindle Scribe using its marker stylus and use it for writing songs (both on sheet music templates and notebook templates).

    I might have to get a scribe myself. I used my iPad but it’s hard on the wrists after some time.

    How are you liking the books themselves?

    The books themselves are very helpful. I honestly need to reread them once I finish my initial readings and jot down notes. ☺️ I thoroughly enjoyed Jeff Tweedy's book. About to dig into the SongTown books.

    Also, that Kindle Scribe is so easy to use. The reason I wrote off Kindle before was due to it being too small. The Scribe is the right size and weight. I got it for under $600 including its cover and marker pen and charging block on a Prime Days deal.

    Just bought a new-to-me book on Kindle by Jeff Tweedy called "World Within a Song". Now, while it may not contain exact lyric-writing instructions or songwriting exercises, I love this man's colloquial writing style a lot. "How to Write One Song" doesn't just contain great songwriting exercises towards the end of the book. It contains great antedotes as well. Plus it was the first "songwriting" book I read front to back, and I plan to reread it again.

    That said, imagine a book full of Jeff's blunt and entertaining antedotes, listing 50 of his favorite songs and why they "changed his life". I personally can't wait to dig in later this evening/early night.

    Edit - About a quarter way through this book. Highly recommended not as a songwriting tome but rather for the enjoyment of reading Jeff's take on various songs as well as short anecdotes from his life. If you love the tone of "How to Write One Song" and need a palette cleanser book that's a fun read, I can't recommend "World Within a Song" enough. I'm having a blast!
