Welcome to LYRIC COPY
LYRIC COPY is a discipline that teaches people how to write legendary song lyrics.
How to write legendary lyrics like John Lennon.
My friend, you are great at learning new skills.
Pull anyone away from their phone and give them guitar lessons a few times a week, and within a month, they WILL know how to play the riff to Smoke On The Water, Sweet Child O’ Mine, or 99 Problems.
So why isn't learning how to write lyrics this easy?
Well, it is!
How?
It's called LYRIC COPY.
LYRIC COPY is a discipline that teaches people how to write song lyrics.
So, how does it work?
It's simple.
You copy other songwriters' work by hand.
In doing so, you learn great songwriters' patterns, rhymes, structure, and habits.
You don't learn a new musical instrument by writing your own songs.
You learn other people's songs.
The same goes for lyric writing.
Then, after mastering and finding what you like, you develop your own voice using the patterns you noticed in copying others.
This is precisely how LYRIC COPY helps you become a better songwriter.
Before his death, John Lennon was quoted as saying, “In the early years, I’d often carry around someone else’s song in my head. And only when I’d put it down on tape — because I can’t write music — would I consciously change it to my own because I knew that otherwise, somebody would sue me.”
How to be a great lyric writer
In this course, you receive ten lessons.
The goal is to handwrite one song a day for ten days.
I'll explain the elements of each lyric, why they work, and what you can learn from them.
You'll then spend 20-30 minutes writing the song lyrics by hand.
At the end of this, you'll know what makes a lyric memorable and how to improve your songwriting.

What this is
This is Neil Mason's course, ready to take.
So you’re interested in the Lyric Copy course? Smart, my friend.
"Write out legendary lyric copy, and I'll become a better songwriter?”
“Is it really that simple?"
Yeah, it is.
I know. Hard to believe.
Lyric Copy taught me how to write lyrics like my favorite songwriters.
It taught me to find flow in my flaws, volume in my voice, and rhythm in my writing.
Paul McCartney and John Lennon became famous after marathon cover sets in German bars, singing other artists' songs & lyrics.
Kanye West once said, “Recognize and embrace your flaws so you can learn from them. Sometimes, it takes a little polishing to truly shine.”
Bob Dylan said, “Steal a little, and they throw you in jail. Steal a lot, and they make you king.”
Over the last 10+ years, I’ve been practicing lyric copy and studying my favorite songwriters & artists.
I wasn't a great songwriter before.
But after Lyric Copy, I learned to use words, rhythm, and rhyme to write songs for artists like Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Meatloaf, and many more.
My songs have been streamed almost a billion times.
Even now, I’ll practice Lyric Copy when I need a little inspiration.
After this 10-day challenge, your lyric writing will improve immensely.
Lyric Copy benefits your songwriting, lyric writing, poetry, birthday cards, thank-you notes, website copy, emails, and more.
