Songwriters: Do you have this important list?


Hey Reader,

Do you have a first lines list?

A song's first line is a 🔥 hot spot 🔥 that deserves your attention.

First lines are your first hook.

It’s the handshake. It’s the door creaking open. it’s the curtain drawing back. The opening scene.

First lines are tone-setters. They perk up ears. They help a listener to say, "Oh, I'm interested. Where is this going?"

First lines deserve just as much attention as your song’s hook.

Try this activity to get your ears tuned in to great first lines.
