Songwriting the Personal Affair

Songwriting the Personal Affair

“Make a Sonnet of Your Affair Like Poetry Collection Sonnets of the Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning”

By Songwriter Sheryl Collins

Writing song lyrics had always been therapeutic for me. I am pretty sure I broke tons of rules when writing lyrics since 1984 as a child. I am happy now in my forties to be able to take classes from experience songwriters to learn to be more professional. It was only when I entered my twelfth-grade high school creative writing where I enjoyed poetry. Most of all those few lines you always find somewhere during Valentine Day. “ How do I love thee, let me count the ways.”

It was then I wanted to know about this romantic poet. I found myself even in my first year of college still drooling over some of those love poems. A woman in Brazil capture in poetry her love for one man that was now shared over the world.

One day watching prime television that an elderly man wrote songs for his wife but as his memory became to fade due to his disease. That is a very emotional story. I have written songs in my private journal for years about many things that include love relationships. You can turn your songwriting journal into a beautiful dedication of someone you love dear. There are many places for a price to put music to your lyrics as they do poetry. How can make a more detail relationship  of experiences in just lyrics or songs?

It all started on how relationships start. I have actually written my wedding songs if I ever fall in love again. I even thought of writing it for a musical. The first place a love relationship starts is the desire to want someone.

1. Desiring a Companion

All of us who just love to be in love even if it ends badly, many people do fine with the basic things in life and fill fulfil in every way. Some of us would like to a deeper relationship with someone else. This where you start.

2.  Eye candy or Crushes

Of course, you just don’t find the right person when you wake up like magic. In fact, you might find several people who might interest you. The foundation is laid for a closer relationship with someone you just might be interested in than things start to cook. That’s right you can start thinking on some possibility because this individual is given signs.

3.  First Time We Speak

This is the start of something new. We all hope something good as well when we first encounter that first conversation that will start not the desire of wanting love but a chance to grow into a relationship with this person.

4.  The First Date

5. The First Time You are Intimate

6.  Your First Disagreement

7. Your First Fight

8.  Falling in Love or Falling Out of Love

9. Love or  Broken Heart

10.  This Love Forever or  Letting You Go to Start Over
