Standards Song
How do i write a love song?
i really want to write a song for my girlfriend and play it for her on the piano on her birthday.
the only thing is, whenever i write love songs, they come out extremely corny. that’s fine and all but i don’t like the whole standard barry manilow type love song haha. i don’t like them at all.
i just need some tips that will help me out here. thanks!
Real love songs are about extreme feelings: Vulnerability, risk, fear, pain, commitment, etc.
The reason they may sound corny is that they are not based on real feelings. Look back on your relationship with your girlfriend: Do you have any risky moments when you fought or felt insecure. Use those moments to define how special she is. Anyone can love someone who is perfect, but to really love someone (faults and all) is REAL LOVE. A song that shows your girlfriend (warts and all), but with emphasis about how much you love those warts will strike a chord in her heart because it came from your heart and includes personal stuff that is shared by only you two.
Good luck and let me know how your song turns out.
You sound pretty special to me!
