Songwriting Tip:
Focus on the hook in your songwriting
Use the hook in your song like a short, outrageous National Enquirer headline -- One that is so achingly incomplete, you wouldn’t be human if you weren't dying to find out what it was about. And then, in your verses, weave the story. Complete the hook.
Remember this: Most folks do not get to meet interesting people, or go to interesting places, or do interesting things. And that’s your opening. Your hook is a chance for the listener to feel something special for a few moments, to be titillated, shocked, startled, and metaphorically... Pinched On The Ass!
