Shrewsbury Songwriters July 2024 Brief (To Rhyme or Not To Rhyme?)

It’s easy to get stuck into a pattern with our songwriting. For this brief, let’s get out of our comfort zone!

So for this month’s song, here’s the challenge:

If you usually rhyme in your songs, then you can’t rhyme at all in the song.

If you don’t usually rhyme in your songs then you have to rhyme at the end of every line (you can choose whichever rhyming structure you want e.g. one line rhymes with the next, 1^st and 3^rd, 2^nd and 4th lines etc. but the end of each line has to rhyme with something).

Shrewsbury Songwriters is a free monthly social meetup I run for songwriters (of all stages) as an opportunity to meet up with fellow writers and discuss their approaches. If you would like to learn more then please head to this page. Hope to see you there!
