This book is the companion practicum volume to Lyrics First: How to Write Effective Song Lyrics (ISBN 9780645371239). Due to length I decided to split that initial manuscript into a "core" with the basic approach, and then this follow on of "How To" examples. The purpose of the book is to give the song lyric writer a more hands on "cookup" feel. We look at creating lyrics in the style of Taylor Swift, Joan Armatrading, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, and the Grateful Dead among others for our cookups. Understand we are concerned with LYRICS, not the melody, harmony, etc. We also cover a lot of practical ground like how to write a funny song, how to write about subjects like altered states of consciousness, transgression, etc. Chapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: Some Quick Revision (Review) of The Core of Lyrics FirstChapter 3: How to Taylor Swift LyricChapter 4: How to Joan Armatrading LyricChapter 5: How To Lou Reed LyricChapter 6: How to Identify Meaningful ChangesChapter 7: Iterative Lyric DevelopmentChapter 8: How to Bob Dylan LyricChapter 9: How to Grateful Dead LyricChapter 10: Dreams and How to Write Song Lyrics Using Dream ContentChapter 11: How to Write About Altered StatesChapter 12: How to Transgressive LyricChapter 13: How to Use Literary SourcesChapter 14: How to React To Other People's Artistic Output With Your OwnChapter 15: How to Write Funny Song LyricsChapter 16: How to Christmas Song LyricChapter 17: How to Use Google Translate As Part of Your Song Writing ToolkitChapter 18: How to Get Immediate Feedback On Song LyricsChapter 19: How to Protest And Political Song LyricsChapter 20: How to Write Lyrics for a Children's SongChapter 21: The StorytellerChapter 22: How to Write Jingle and Commercial Song LyricsChapter 23: How to Leverage Streaming MediaChapter 25: How to Contact The Author/Inquiries about Professional ServicesProfessional Service OfferChapter 26: The Rules RecapAbout the Author, and Thanks!
