Rhythm & Flow
📋 What it is
Flow is how lyrics ride the beat — phrasing, line breaks and syllable density shape the feel.
🗣️ Coach says
FLOW is how your words SURF the rhythm — where you break lines, how many syllables you pack in, where you pause. Cramming syllables feels fast and busy; spacing them out feels relaxed. Great writers control flow so the words and the beat feel like one thing.
🧠 Memory hook
Flow = how words ride the beat (phrasing · line breaks · syllable density). Control it for feel.
😂 Giggle
Why did the near-rhyme still work?
Because "time" and "line" don't match perfectly, but they're close enough to feel right!
😲 Whoa!
Two singers can perform the exact same lyric and sound completely different — the words are identical, but their FLOW (timing and phrasing) is their own signature.
✅ Quick check: What does "flow" describe in a lyric?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
How the words ride the beat — the phrasing, line breaks and how densely syllables are packed.

🧪 Try it! (2 minutes)
Say a sentence fast and crammed, then slow and spaced — same words, totally different flow.
