Make it real - Songwriting exercise
When we write to appeal to everyone, we end up appealing to no-one.
Include the specfics – what people said, how they moved, what they wore – and your song will have a much stronger connection.
Example
Vague: "We had a fight" Specific: "You slammed the mug I bought you in Paris" — suddenly it's a scene, not a summary.
