Creativity in Songs
Good lyrics are full of creativity, that's an axiom. They imply poetry, and poetry is invariably connected with original way of thinking and unique way of decorating one's way of thinking with well-selected words, one's well-selected words with poetic rhyme.
Mostly in this very section of our website we'll speak about creativity in lyrics which suggests anything connected with verbal metamorphoses which make up poetic masterpieces furtherly sung by the legends of musical Olympus.
Certainly, one has to be extremely good with words and have the best way with them in order to create a song worth admiring and remembering for centuries. There are certain creative notes in less memorable works too, let's analyze one of them.
We'll randomly choose the creative in a slightly crazy way Bjork with her soundtrack to the well known 'Professional' with a title 'Venus as a Boy' which already is very creative. Creative but oh so vague and complicated on the surface. But only till you dig the whole meaning out with the help of the lyrics.
Let's switch to the lyrics right away, comments are in brackets:
His wicked sense of humour
Suggests exciting sex
(When it's about her songs, there can be creativity of words and creativity of situation. These lines reveal pure creativity of situation where the author so plainly and easily sings about things which invariably prompt creative way of thinking. Needless to say that the approach to connecting this song to the above-mentioned used-to-be-very-popular film is uniquely creative as well).
His fingers focus on her
Touches, he's Venus as a boy
(Creativity of words is obvious here – Bjork manipulates separate words so that they are able to serve as skilled impressers of the listener. Incomplete sentences is one of her favourite tricks, here they imply certain sexual anticipation implicated in a tingly eloquent wordlessness. Creative approach, don't you agree my fellow experts?).
He believes in beauty
He's Venus as a boy
(Finally something starts to be seen relatively loud and clear regarding the title of the song. That concerns the lyrics itself as well. Obviously, the highly creatively formulated song is about a man (boy) who is able to appreciate a woman in all the beauty of her lines and shapes, he 'sets off the beauty in her', just the way Bjork melodically explains it.)
Other random examples of creativity in song lyrics may be represented by the following quotes:
'She was more than beautiful closer to ethereal. With a kind of down-to-earth flavour' – nasty Rolling Stones' creativity.
'Only hurt the ones I love' (Madonna's dominating creativity).
'I'll take you to the candy shop, I'll let you lick the lollypop' – just kidding! But on the other hand – doesn't the dirty creativity count, eh?
As you can see, song lyrics are overflowing with creativity, just start going into the worthy songs and you will definitely make sure of it.
