In this lesson, we focused on lyrics in music. We split into groups and were
given a series of lyric writing tasks that required us to think in some detail
about what we were writing, with focus being on getting words down. I
personally found this quite interesting, as the majority of music that I listen
to does not have lyrics in it (jazz/lofi). I have also not previously written a
song with lyrics, as I do not sing and it also did not interest me, although
the tasks that we did made it seem easier than I would have thought.
One of the tasks in the lesson involved us doing group lyric writing, which
meant that someone in our group picked a word that we then each wrote lyrics
about before sharing them with the rest of the group. I found this to be a good
method for lyric writing that could be useful in the future in a band/group
situation. Another task involved us taking 5 minutes individually to write a
series of lyrics about random objects. We were encouraged to think in some
detail about this, including any story/memories that could potentially be
behind the object. This was also a set task, which involved us having to do
this 5 times over the course of the week. The lyrics that I wrote for each
object are below:
