Chorus

Title track - Songwriting exercise

An obvious title can lead to predictable lyrics, but a great title can often give your song a great hook.

This exercise helps you find more creative ways to express a song's concept.

Example

Theme: "Feeling stuck in the same routine" Strong titles play with the image rather than stating it — Groundhog Year, Same Four Walls, Running in Place.
