Rock Your Content With These 7 Songwriting Secrets
Songwriters are storytellers. And if you’re a content marketer, you’re also a storyteller. We’re trying to do the same thing – to capture the most elusive thing we can with words: a feeling.
Here are seven songwriting secrets that will help you make your content stronger.
1. Storytelling structure
Writers know strong stories capture audiences and bring concepts to life. Sometimes it’s hard to suss out how to tell a story in a way that will achieve the goal – to keep the reader reading.
Songwriters use the same storytelling structure over and over in their writing. They understand that the strongest components of a story structure are exposition, conflict, and resolution, as Bon Jovi illustrates in Livin’ on a Prayer:

Exposition
Once upon a time not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks, union’s been on strike
He’s down on his luck, it’s tough, so tough
Conflict
Gina works the diner all day working for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, for love
She says, we’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
Resolution
It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot for love
We’ll give it a shot
Woah, we’re half way there
Woah, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand, we’ll make it I swear
Woah, livin’ on a prayer
Billie Jean also follows this storytelling structure. When you examine the lyrics, you realize that Michael Jackson used exposition, conflict, and resolution out of order to bring even more tension to the story.

2. Understand how the human brain processes sound
Songwriting is different than our type of writing, as songwriters must find a melody and lyrics that work together. But content writers also need to bring rhythmic qualities to their work.
The brain has a natural delight in melody, rhythm, and repetition, which begins with the first sounds we hear: the sound of our mother’s heartbeat in the womb. The snack food industry calls it the bliss point – the moment when the movement of your hand to the bag and back to your mouth and the rhythm of chewing become one. When the spoken or written word mimics a rhythm, you get happier readers.
How do you achieve that rhythm in your writing? Do these three things:
Read your content out loud: I evangelize this all the time. Nothing will give you a better sense of how your content sounds than reading it out loud. If you can’t speak and listen at the same time, and I know I can’t, record it on your phone and play it back. Immediately, I can tell where I need to add commas, etc.
Use long and short sentences: Intersperse long sentences with short sentences to vary the rhythm.
Clap it out: Think about how you’re clapping. What does punchy sound like? What does serious sound like? What does human sound like? Experiment with those cadences.
Clap out your #content to experiment with cadence. What does punchy sound like? Experiment, says @ahaval

Part of reading comprehension is prosody – how does the content sound in the readers’ heads? Finding rhythm to your content will keep your readers engaged.
3. Be open to collaboration
We sometimes think writing is something birthed alone, by ourselves. And sometimes, that is true. But for many of us, we have editors who comb through our work to make it stronger.
What if we took the approach of pair writing, popularized in the UX community? Instead of seeing ourselves as the writers or original content creators and then having editors review it, what if we saw ourselves as collaborators, building pieces together?
In the ’70s Glenn Frey lived in the apartment above Jackson Browne’s. One day, Frey heard Browne trying to compose a song. Browne composed the first verse and chorus, but then he got stuck and couldn’t move forward.
This video explains what happened next.
Too often we put our writing on the shelf and forget about it or don’t realize its potential. Instead, we should send it to a friend or colleague, someone who could be a co-creator to produce something of merit.
Think for a moment if Glenn Frey didn’t live near Jackson Browne? The Eagles’ first hit, Take It Easy, may never have been considered one of the top rock n’ roll songs of all time.
Taylor Swift doesn’t just walk into a studio, sit down with her diary, whip out her guitar, and create a song. She brings ideas into the studio and works with a producer (which is maybe what we should start calling our editors) to help her fine-tune a song.
Maybe we should start referring to editors as producers like singers do, says @ahaval
