I have done this, especially with the songs on our Legend album.īut if you want to make money by licensing your songs to film and television, you need to write a lot of songs and you need to write them fast. You can spend months/years editing a lyric until it feels just right so that when you release that song to your fans, they feel like you're showing them a glimpse into your soul. When you are an artist, and you're writing songs to feed your inner muse and express your purest artistic vision, you want to spend time crafting a lyric that has no wasted space and perhaps even paints a picture of something deeply profound. If you can discipline your lyrics to stay within one emotional place, the song can be very useful in multiple contexts. Or, it can simply evoke a basic mood or feeling, like light-hearted optimism or pent up rage. Either it can illustrate a personality type/character, like the battle weary underdog fighting for survival, or the larger than life femme fatale who uses and discards whomever can get her what she wants. For a song to be useful in various contexts, it's important to keep the lyric to one singular emotion or concept. ![]()
