Course Description

Welcome to Your Enlightened Guide To Endless Lyrics Writing !
My name is Adam, and please allow me to give you a brief intro to my course:-)This course is from the heart, my practice that Ihave developed over the years. Irealized that writing lyrics is a process of personal growth and your lyrics grow as you grow. There is no magic formula for lyrics, YOU are the magic and you activate it when you take action, accept what comes out and do it for its own sake of enjoyment no matter if it is for fun or professionally.
What does writing endless lyrics mean?
It means accessing the part of yourself that is also endless (or limitless). Why would I want to do that? Then you will have an infinite supply of inspiration to draw upon making writing a fun experience.
How can I do this? Make writing a daily practice while validating everything that comes through you.
What aspects about lyrics & songwriting does your course contain? (I encourage you to look through the curriculum and watch several preview-able videos in order to get a feel for this course so you know if it is what you need.)Introduction - Learn what it means to write unlimited lyrics and songs in combination with your mind and heart and how to effectively communicate to your audiences.
Points of View (POV) - Learn about the 3 different kinds of POV, main and sub POV, as well as using multiple POVs and lyric spurts and how this awareness can make you a more refined songwriter.
Golden Keys - Methods/exercises to take action on and can get you into the proper state to connect with your creativity and taking (writing) action from that state.
Anatomy of A song - Learn in detail the different parts of a song and get tips on how to use them effectively and keep listeners engaged.
Platinum Keys - Techniques you can use to enhance your process of songwriting.
Lyric Structure Variations - Learn different lyric structure variations, when lyrics are necessary, and how to create variety among your songs.
Titanium Tips - Realizations which have helped me overcome blocks, limiting definitions, beliefs and ways of thinking that prevented me from creating my best work that you can use to your benefit.
And there is more to come....!
This is a process which you can thoroughly enjoy ever aspect. Writing/creating is an experience that expands you beyond yourself in the moment and when it is finished it has served you in that process, and then that finished song or recording will go on to serve those that listen to it and they can be inspired. So it all starts with you.
Iam on this journey with you so reach out to me and chat if you would like to speak with me. Iam excited to meet you and honored if you join me on this amazing/challenging/exciting journey. You can find my personal creations on BandCamp, search Adam Sweeney or The All I Ever Wanted EP.
Who this course is for:
Novice songwriters of all ages, nations, beliefs, and music genres.
Singer-SongwritersExperienced songwriters who enjoy additional perspectives.
Those who are fascinated and enthusiastic about writing song lyrics.
Individuals that enjoy exploring within themselves and expressing it through music and writing lyrics.

Instructor Details

Adam Sweeney

I've learned that everything that we do in our lives is connected and makes up a whole. That it is just different expressions of us and those expressions are always changing. Success and failure are not a thing. Our only job is to express who we are in this moment and then expand beyond ourselves further.
Everything I share with you in my songwriting and personal growth courses is what I have explored in great depth and that has worked positively when I applied it in my life. Take all that works for you, every piece that matters to you.
Thank you for allowing me to share my passions with you.
Much love,
Adam

Yes indeed ... I've taken poetry in college before so yes indeed it's over refreshing a former past time in my life

Didn't go over the more "technical" aspect of songwriting like phrasing, rhyme schemes, but overall it was an interesting course.

By Michael Richard Pereira on 7/25/2020

I found the course very inspirational, though I am not a writer I have now written lyrics for several songs.

By Shaun on 7/17/2020

He has some good ideas but I was looking for more.

By Pierre Frederick on 6/24/2020

I'm starting to get a good connection with what I write now that I heard it from this course.

By Sonal Gupta on 6/17/2020

it was really inspiring and everything was well explained. though i am an 11 year old girl,but still i am sure that this course has lead me through the right path of songwriting... Thank you so much Mr. Adam Sweney

This definitely feels like very beginner level lyric writing information for the intro songwriter. No shame in that! A lot of this information would have been very sage to me as a learning and beginning songwriter, and I highly recommend it to such a student! However, as an experienced songwriter who's already in the game and who's looking to up my lyrical chops, this course wasn't quite the right fit for me. This should very much be marketed as an intro-level course, which is entirely ok. I also think the fact that this course has a focus on writing pop-punk music should be advertised as well, as this would be an attractive course for one who's looking to write in that genre, as opposed to someone like myself who is more in the world of dark electronica and prog. Solid work Adam! I learned a helpful tip or 2 from you! I feel you just need refinement on targeting who your audience is!

By Gordon L. Fung on 5/27/2020

Yes. I have had some luck at writing lyrics when I had to but was not pleased with the results. and some successes that I had not been able to figure out why the lyrics and song turned out so well. This is a definite eye opener a to how to get into the groove and zone of creativity with the proper motivation.

Great course! Thank you Adam for creating this course, sharing your experience and yourself, in such a transparent, authentic and inspirational way! All the best!

It was nice to see how Adam taps into his own creativity. The tools he teaches to help capture the outpourings of the mind and soul will be of great help to me. Thank you!
