⏳ Your song lyrics are a content goldmine

This week, I'm sharing why chasing record labels is the old playbook and how 500 true fans can replace viral fame. Plus, a prompt that turns your song lyrics into a month of content, Lowden's AI guitar sensor that protects your instrument, and the latest music tech news.

Many artists make the mistake of chasing record labels when they already have everything they need to earn a living.

You don't need a million followers to survive.

500 hundred fans paying you 5 dollars each month gives you 2,500$ to cover your costs.

TikTok grabs attention, but your email list converts viewers into paying customers who buy your music, merch, and tickets directly.

Build ownership over your fanbase

And income instead of begging gatekeepers for permission.

Now, let’s cut to the chase:

Turn your song lyrics into 1 month of Social Media content

Most musicians struggle to promote their music consistently on social media. They post randomly, run out of ideas, and wonder why their songs aren't reaching more people.

This is the essence of the Song-to-Content System.

This prompt analyzes your song lyrics and generates 16 content ideas organized into 4 weekly content pillars:

• Educate (your creative process)

• Entertain (behind-the-scenes moments)

• Provoke (bold questions)

• Empathize (emotional connections).

You also get viral-style hooks trained on proven formats.

What if you never had to guess what to post about your music again?

Here's how it works:

1. Input your song title and lyrics
2. Add your artist bio (optional)
3. Receive 16 content ideas across 4 weeks
4. Get ready-to-use video hooks and captions
5. Create the actual content using additional prompts from the free library

Stop posting the same "new song out now" message.

Try this prompt and build a real content strategy around your music.

The best time to start is before your next release.

⛓️ Use this tool:

Claude Sonnet 4.5.

Copy & paste this prompt:

Act like a professional music marketing strategist and content architect who specializes in transforming song lyrics into emotionally charged, story-driven social media content campaigns for artists.

Objective:
Generate a 4-week content plan (16 total ideas) based on a provided song title, lyrics, and optional artist bio. Each idea should be inspired by the emotional and narrative essence of the lyrics and structured to engage audiences through storytelling.

Inputs (the user provides):
1. Song Title: [Paste here]
2. Song Lyrics: [Paste full lyrics here]
3. Artist Bio (optional): [Paste here]

---------------------------------------------------
Step 1 — Analyze the Song
1. Read the full lyrics and identify:
   - Main theme(s): love, loss, redemption, addiction, recovery, resilience, etc.
   - Emotional tone: vulnerable, angry, nostalgic, hopeful, defiant, reflective, etc.
   - Imagery or recurring motifs (e.g., “whiskey glass,” “burning room,” “angel in disguise”).
   - Key lyric lines that capture the essence of the story.
2. Summarize your findings in a 4–6 sentence paragraph titled **Song Overview**, explaining:
   - What the song is about.
   - The emotional journey it describes.
   - The songwriter’s likely message or perspective.
   - Which lyric lines reveal the most powerful emotions or visuals.

---------------------------------------------------
Step 2 — Structure the 4-Week Plan
Divide the campaign into 4 weeks:
* Week 1: Pre-release — tease the story and emotions behind the song.
* Weeks 2–4: Post-release — deepen connection, unpack meaning, and sustain engagement.

Each week should include 4 ideas, one for each content pillar:
1. **Educate** — Reveal your creative process, inspiration, or craft.
2. **Entertain** — Show your personality, behind-the-scenes energy, or studio vibe.
3. **Provoke** — Challenge norms, spark thought, or raise bold questions.
4. **Empathize** — Create an emotional or vulnerable connection with fans.

---------------------------------------------------
Step 3 — Write Each Content Idea
For each of the 16 ideas:
- Specify the **Content Pillar**.
- Write a **descriptive Content Idea (up to 50 words)** that references one or more **specific lyric lines** from the song.
- Write a **Hook/Headline** (video caption style) in the viral tone of *Cameron Whitcomb*.  
  - Hooks should sound raw, conversational, emotional, and reflective of the artist’s inner thoughts.
  - Keep them short (max 12 words), powerful, and human — like something an artist would naturally say on TikTok.
  - Use the lyric or theme directly when possible.

---------------------------------------------------
Step 4 — Hook Inspiration (Emulate Cameron Whitcomb’s Viral Tone)
Use these viral hooks as stylistic references for rhythm, pacing, and tone (do NOT copy them verbatim — use them as inspiration for structure, emotion, and delivery):

1. Could I believe in a man I don’t see?  
2. This song is the reason women HATE most men  
3. I wrote this song about the creeps praying on women at bars and clubs  
4. Oh… I hope you’re dancing in the sky!  
5. I wrote this guide on how NOT to treat women…  
6. “Was it easy getting sober?”  
7. When you only get recognized for that one thing you did three years ago…  
8. “Do you think you’ll ever go back to drugs and alcohol?”  
9. And from your lips she drew the hallelujah…  
10. I never wanna leave this world!  
11. I wrote a song about being a young adult in 2023  
12. Wishing you never met her in the first place…  
13. When you’d do anything to be with her—even if it hurts…  
14. Parts of me that ain’t around, I’m always talking to  
15. The flights I bought from coast to coast  
16. Giving up everything, even if she wouldn’t do the same…  
17. Pull that bottle off that shelf  
18. When even my old man won’t listen to my new music…  
19. Girlfriend’s not home… you know what that means  
20. I wrote this song about being loved only when it’s convenient  
21. Have you ever seen the rain?  
22. “Do you ever think you’ll start using again?”  
23. “What keeps you sober?”  
24. Does that make me a QUITTER?  
25. When two singers get the same idea for a song…  
26. “Do you ever think about going back to your old life?”  
27. No way this song finally comes out tonight…  
28. Singing home without a “home”  
29. We wrote a song about falling out of love ❤️  
30. Got enough whisky in my dad to hear him sing for the first time in my life  
31. When everything reminds you of her… :(  
32. Have you ever been addicted to a woman?  
33. I wrote this song about being an atheist hoping heaven exists so the people you’ve lost are still around  
34. Almost getting the perfect take… 😅  

→ Capture the emotional *authenticity*, *directness*, and *storytelling tone* of these examples.

---------------------------------------------------
Step 5 — Integrate the Artist Bio (if provided)
- If available, connect the artist’s story or personality to the song’s emotion.
- Subtly reference their journey, roots, or motivations if relevant.
- If they have offerings (membership, fan club, merch, etc.), weave them naturally into appropriate posts.

---------------------------------------------------
Step 6 — Output Format
Present results in this order:

**1. Song Overview (4–6 sentences)**  
Describe what the song is about, its emotional tone, the story it tells, and key lyric lines that embody its message.

**2. 4-Week Content Plan (Table)**  
Include the following columns only:
| Week | Content Pillar | Content Idea (≤50 words, with lyric references) | Hook/Headline (Cameron Whitcomb-style caption) |

Example:

Song Title: “Lost and Found”  
Lyrics Excerpt: “I was running through the dark until your voice became the sound.”

**Song Overview:**  
“Lost and Found” explores rediscovery through love after isolation. The lyrics use imagery of darkness and sound to symbolize emotional rebirth. The narrator learns that connection can light even the darkest moments, turning pain into purpose.

| Week | Content Pillar | Content Idea | Hook/Headline |
|------|----------------|--------------|----------------|
| 1 | Educate | Describe how “running through the dark until your voice became the sound” started as a line written in a journal months before the melody existed — reveal how the metaphor shaped the whole song. | “Ever felt someone pull you out of your own darkness?” |
| 1 | Entertain | Share the backstory of recording that line live on the first take — your voice cracked, but you kept it because it felt real. | “The take that almost didn’t make it… ended up saving the song.” |
| 1 | Provoke | Discuss how love can both heal and hurt — reflect on “You were the light and the fire.” Ask fans to share what love has taught them. | “Can the same person who saves you also destroy you?” |
| 1 | Empathize | Speak to anyone who’s felt “lost” before they were “found.” Reflect on how this lyric mirrors real-life recovery from heartbreak or loss. | “Have you ever been found when you thought you’d never come back?” |

---------------------------------------------------
Writing Guidelines:
- Use clear, descriptive sentences (≤50 words) for each idea.  
- Always reference at least one lyric that supports the concept.  
- Hooks must be short, emotional, first-person, and conversational.  
- Avoid promotional tone — focus on story, honesty, and human connection.  
- No content formats (like “TikTok” or “Reel”) should be mentioned.  
- The table must contain **16 ideas total (4 per week)**.  

---------------------------------------------------
Final Reminder:
Your goal is to produce an emotionally intelligent, story-driven, and viral-ready 4-week content plan rooted in the lyrics and narrative of the song.  
Take a deep breath and work on this problem step-by-step.

🪝 Here’s an example:

A song by our virtual artist “Luna Raye” called “Small apartment”.

I inserted the song title and lyrics into the prompt.

It analyses the lyrics to extract the theme of the track.

Then generates 16 content ideas giving you ideas on what to post about.

Tip: Make sure your song lyrics are conversational and natural-sounding. If your lyrics are abstract or conceptual (meaning harder to interpret), include some context about what the song is about to get better results.

Here’s the output:

Worried about your guitar's condition or where it is when traveling?

Most guitar players face this exact challenge daily.

Enter Lowden's AI-powered sensor – a game-changer for acoustic guitar owners.

Northern Irish guitar maker Lowden has built an AI sensor directly into their guitars that monitors your instrument's health in real time through the MyLowden app.

Here's why you need it:

1. Climate monitoring:
↳ Tracks temperature and humidity levels automatically
↳ Alerts you when conditions could damage your guitar

2. GPS tracking:
↳ Shows your guitar's location at all times
↳ Helps recover stolen or lost instruments

3. Impact detection:
↳ Monitors vibrations and knocks during travel
↳ Documents any potential damage incidents

4. Maintenance records:
↳ Keeps track of repairs and services
↳ Supports warranty and insurance claims

The result? Your guitar stays in optimal condition and you have peace of mind knowing exactly where it is and how it's doing.

Plus, you'll discover if your guitar stand is in a bad spot before damage occurs.

I checked their website.

It’s currently not transparent to me when the AI sensors will come built-in when you order an acoustic guitar from their shop.
