Blank Page - Songwriting

Today I want you to focus on this : try to DEVELOP ANY ABSTRACT CONCEPT INTO SPECIFIC IMAGES that convey your idea. Use words and sentences that appeal to the 5 SENSES AND ACTIONS. For example stop rambling on about the general concept of pain, unhappiness, sorrow, sadness, but find an image that your listeners will remember, just like this verse of “I'll be there for you”, Bon Jovi. “You say you've cried a thousand rivers and now you're swimming for the shore You left me drowning in my tears and you won't save me anymore.” When describing efforts and struggle, you need to make the idea concrete by using verbs of action. Check out this song by U2 (I still haven't found what I'm looking for): I have run, I have crawled, I have scaled these city walls, only to be with you”. If you need another example, just listen to “Blowing in the wind”, in every single sentence Bob Dylan gives you a clear image to remember (a man walking a road, a white dove sailing the sea, the cannon balls flying, and so on).
