Hi Folks,

Just wondering and looking for some advice on writing lyrics for a song as regards the phrasing etc?

Say we have a song with two verses and a chorus (repeated in middle and at end)

I try to have each line in the second verse the exact same number of syllables as the corresponding line in the previous verse and to have it note for note match. Sometimes it doesn't work out for me this way, you will still know it’s the same song but maybe a little difference in the number of syllables or a slight variation in the notes used.

Does this really matter as overall all the verses fit nicely together and you hear it’s all the one song throughout?

Thanks

Martin
