You can easily live with this book for 6 months or more. Pattison's approach is very analytical and it deals only with lyrics and how to communicate them in a way that best transmits the emotional effect which the songwriter has in mind. The book goes far beyond Pattison's Coursera Songwriting course and his Youtube video lectures.I have found that for me, his techniques work best in rewriting my songs. There is so much here, that it is difficult to implement it all in the real-time process of songwriting. But once I have written a song, I can go back and apply his techniques to improve my songs. Especially interesting is his technique to use the 5 rhyme-types (perfect, family, additive/subtractive, assonance, consonance) and a rhyming dictionary as a search engine to brainstorm ideas to write a song from a concept or a title. I have never heard anyone else use this method, but I find that not only does it work for me, it also opens my ear to more easily find rhymes other than the perfect rhyme.Some people will not have the patience to work through this book, and for them, it will be a waste of money to buy. But I really like the book and it has taught me a lot of useful information to improve my songwriting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely worth the money *by J***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2018* I heard about this author and book from CD Baby’s podcast, DIY Musician. After songwriting for over two years, this is my first lyric help book I have purchased and while I’m only on page 27, so far I have not been disappointed. Pattison gives a nomenclature for techniques I was already using and expands and encourages the reader in those areas. It has been a creative blast for someone not only to give me permission but to give me an assignment to engage daily in creative writing. Regarding the very first exercise, daily 10-minute Object Writing, instead of picking random objects, pick objects/concepts within current song ideas you’re developing and apply his other concepts within that time. Powerful exercise. Thank you, Pat! Write on, creatives!! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Okay, but not great for me *by M***P on Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020* This might be a great book for some people... like unemployed people who have all day to work on getting better through lengthy super-time-consuming processes. I was actually looking for a different approach to training and writing exercises. But then maybe my problem is I need to make more time somehow and do this work? IDK. Maybe I should quit my day job and go all-in on songwriting? :-) Maybe I need a book to tell me how to do that and avoid living under a bridge with my family at the same time. I do remember that the pain and uncertainty that soaks into your soul when you are poor is a source of ideas and inspiration and power when you are writing. But I guess none of this is about the book. The book is well written and will likely be helpful to many people... but you should go into it knowing that for every few pages you read there is a connected extended sometime very lengthy exercise that goes along with it. This book shows you ways to change your daily writing habits for the better. But if you don't go all-in with each idea it's a bit of a time suck. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/107476580-writing-better-lyrics](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/107476580-writing-better-lyrics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
