Hi there!

I have got a question about about writing a ballad: Is there any structure of how to make a ballad, like Intro, Vers, Refrain ... ? I know a good ballad can be worked out with lots of tries, I just want to know if there are any "advices", how ballads are structured normally.

Thanks for your help" smile.gif

Another thing about ballad lyrics that might help you write, is try to write something from the heart. Sure we can all piece together some random lines and have some cheesy lyrics, but In the end.... People relate to whats from the heart. Whether thats good or evil. So my advice would be, listen to some Ballad songs that you like. Read the lyrics, get in touch with the artist, then try to understand where all that raw emotion is coming from. Then maybe you can take yourself back to a time where you felt very emotional and start writing and composing some Amazing Ballads smile.gif
