Your lyrics aren’t bad... they’re just too honest

Most lyrics don’t fail because they’re wrong.

They fail because they’re too direct.

“I’m sad.”
“I miss you.”
“My heart is broken.”

It’s real… but it doesn’t hit.

Great songwriters don’t just describe emotion — they turn it into something you can see and feel.

I just dropped a new video breaking down exactly how to do that using a simple tool I call Turning Emotion Into Art.

If you’ve ever felt like your lyrics sound more like a diary than a song, this will help:

Try this today:

Take one emotion you’re feeling…
and describe it without using a single emotion word.

That’s where the magic starts.
