Tell the story of a character who has to make a big decision before the train they are on reaches the station.
Use sensory memories of train rides you’ve had to make the song vivid. Help us live the ride with them.
Populate your song with:
- What’s happening and why
- Who character is
- The decision that they have to make
- Surprise us part way through the ride
- Embody the emotions in the music
- Connect sections of the song to stops and sections of the journey
Tell the story in the verses and convey the emotion in the chorus. Surprise us in the bridge by giving us a whole new perspective on what happened.
Happy writing!
