Comments on: How To Give Your Song a Title http://servethesong.net/song-title-how-to/ Songwriting Tips for DIY Musicians Tue, 15 May 2012 23:26:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jason http://servethesong.net/song-title-how-to/comment-page-1/#comment-26 Jason Wed, 11 Feb 2009 04:46:54 +0000 http://www.servethesong.net/?p=219#comment-26 It struck me as odd that you wrote this "Many times you might choose not to use any of the song’s lyrics in it’s title. Maybe the song is so mysterious that you want to the title to hint at what it’s about. Or the opposite- use the title to add a curious twist to the story of the song." ..and then transitioned into another example of using a phrase from the title, rather than examples of effective titles that weren't taken from the lyrics. Otherwise, great post with good info. I would have liked to see some more elaboration though - maybe that's just because titles are the hardest thing for me, whether I'm writing a song, a story, a poem or a press release.

Maybe some help here on what to name your website. I think this could be used in other venues also. Maybe some help here on what to name your website.
