Tell a story from two perspectives

Tell the story of meeting someone for the first time. Think about where you were and the sense memories you have of meeting them.

Now tell the story of the same meeting from the perspective of the other person. Each persona can take a verse each and sing the chorus together.

Populate your song by:

  • Tell the story of what happened
  • Create the characters who met
  • Show-not-tell us where you were with sensory descriptions.
  • Surprise us with the outcome of the meeting
  • Make music that embodies that feeling you had
  • Incorporate the sounds of the place

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!
