Hello r/Learnmusic,
I'm trying to work on some creative outlets for myself, and writing has always been one I'm drawn to. Of late I've been attempting some lyric writing exercises (shoutout Ben Levin) but there's one roadblock in the way:
Meter.
As long as I can remember, whenever lyrical meter has come up I've been unbelievably confused! I've read numerous articles and had friends/teachers talk to me in an exaggerated syllabic fashion, but nothing has ever stuck. I know lyrics is one of the least discussed components of music, but I really hope someone can help make this idea click for me.
