LYRIC CHEAT SHEET

Lesson 14: POV-Power

Action Points:

The POV you choose for your song will drastically change how your audience will connect with it.

Direct-Address creates intimacy, while First & Third Person keeps your audience at a distance.

So play with different perspective to see what suits your song best. The best way you can do this is to rewrite your verses & bridge in all the 4 Stages of POV. Watch out on how it will change the feel of the song. Then decide what version you like best.

Because once you're done this, you will look at your lyrics with new eyes.
