Why try the Oland lyric writing method?

  • Do you really know the difference between lyrics and poetry?
  • Do you know how to turn a good idea into a great lyric?
  • Are you someone who uses songs as an artist, publisher or record producer, and would like a solid way to judge the quality and impact of the lyrics?

If so, then you’re why these books were written.

Great lyrics don’t “just happen.” The greatest ideas are a result of creativity, yes; but the crafting of songs relies on a clear understanding of the writing process. The message of “The Art Of Writing Great Lyrics” is: “If you’re going to break the rules, know them thoroughly, and break them brilliantly!”

 

Says Oland…

Being a working lyricist at the center of the music industry in Los Angeles is the best job in the world. Every project is a new challenge, and my favorite style of songwriting is whatever I happen to be working on – I jump in with both feet and write it till it’s right.
