    Bro this shit is crazy. I seen a video of Andrea talking about toggling in the song writing method and ever since she took my songs to a whole new level. I’m really blessed that this underground content is here. People just gotta look through the mud to find the gold but they lazy.

    One I would like to offer: write from a different perspective. Approach the lyrics as if you're someone other than yourself. Or write on a different instrument from your primary one. There are endless variations on this idea.

    im a classical guitar player and metal guy , but Andrea really helped me with lyrics and phrasing. valueable information.

    Another good trick I have found is also singing the chorus and hearing how the end of the first chorus sounds as it goes into the second verse melody. If it doesn’t feel right then you know one of those melodies needs to be tweaked.
