Hey, I use to play drums for my band. I played the set, well I still do and I love it. Music has been a real passion of mine. As of recently I have not been in a band and it's been a little hard because I miss the "show" a lot. Gettin in front of the crowd was the best, I loved it! I love being the beat that you see people moving too...but anyway...recenlty I have been working on helping my friends, and their friends, and other bands promote. I used promotion tools to help them sell tickets, get people to listen to their music and sell cd's. It works, let me tell you, the more information you absorb the better, I still read just about every day about new ideas on promoting. I would just like to encourage anyone that is into music, and bands, and promoting, to check some of this stuff out!

how to think of song lyrics
A song is totally based on its lyrics and melody. Writing lyrics for a song may seem difficult at first. Some people think it takes years of formal training to write good lyrics and become a decent songwriter. I believe it's quite the opposite though. Lyrics are all around us every day, if we just be observe. You have to develop a lyrical mindset. Songs can be written about anything.
It is easy to get ideas for writing lyrics by listening to conversations in day to day life and by observing activities going on around you. Inspiration can be found everywhere, in magazines and newspapers, on the radio, and even in your workplace. Some songwriters start out composing their thoughts as a story, and then putting these ideas into lyrics and rhyme.
When you get your lyrical ideas down on paper, you refine it and start searching for words that will make your lyrics rhyme. However, you don't always need your lyrics to rhyme. Don't just add words to a song because they rhyme, if they don't make sense in the song. Also, if you can't get the last part of the lyrics to rhyme, you can try to think of combinations of words that would rhyme. Whatever you do, you want your lyrics and rhymes to flow naturally.
Don't worry about trying to finish an entire song in one sitting. That just isn't practical most of the time, although sometimes someone can feel really inspired and write whole songs worth of lyrics at once. Really though, you should just write the lyrics down as they come to you, and you will eventually be able to take the best lines and best phrases to complete the song with original lyrics.
As with everything else, practice makes perfect. The more you write, the better you will become. Besides just jotting down lyrics as they come to you throughout the day, try to schedule a regular time each day and think about how to compose those lyrics into a meaningful song. Some people find early mornings to be the best time, when they feel refreshed and get better ideas. Today, there is even songwriting software available on the internet to help aspiring lyricists. You may want to look at some of the songwriting software on the market.
