Don’t Be TOO Literal

August 26, 2007

First thing first, in most cases you have not to be literate about things in your songs.

A friend of mine once posted me this example from the internet:

Bad writing – “I won’t ever get over you”
Better writing – “Getting over you might knock me down”
Good writing – “I’ll be dead before I push you out of my life”

This might not illustrate it perfectly. But you should understand it.

So, again – don’t be to literal…
