Song Prompt #1 – How to Think of the First Line of Your Song

A weekly songwriting prompt exploring craft, curiosity, and connection. "Write a song that opens with a vivid object, place, or moment" is the first prompt in The Song Game — a weekly songwriting practice designed to connect writers to each other and to the craft itself. This week’s Song Game prompt invites you to write a song that opens with a line that gets some of the work done for you. The idea is to grab the listener immediately — a detail that feels alive, tangible, and full of story. It's also helpful if you want to follow the lead of the song, without a song idea in mind. With a vivid first line, there's no need to explain anything quite yet; just start with an image that grabs you. Focus on the first line as a doorway into the song. Think about what catches attention, what sparks curiosity, or what gives a strong sense of place or feeling. Let yourself play with what shows up, even if it’s unexpected. These short weekly video prompts are meant to: • offer gentle structure without boxing you in • address common problem spots in songwriting • spark imagination when things feel stale • and help build real connection between writers Show up, try it, and see what surprises you. 🎶 HOW TO PLAY THE SONG GAME 1.
