How can you draw a song?

Well, it really depends on how you "draw a song". If you want to draw a picture based on how the song makes you feel . . . then here's what I do:

I pick out a random song that I like (for instance I'm listening to Hero/Heroine by Boys Like Girls right now), and I think up the main idea of the song. In the song mentioned above it's about a young man who is "tough", but a simple girl took over his feelings, and now he feels like a hero and that the girl is his heroine.

Next, I think about what that song would be like if it was advertised in an anime/cartoon/graphic movie (like if it was playing in the background or something) and I draw out what might be happening at that point in the plot. Now, this song might be portrayed in different ways in the story (is the character remembering what he used to feel? How he feels at the time? Or maybe what he's hoping will happen in the future?).

I start to draw out simple pictures on one piece of paper, to get an idea straight, and pick one which I think is the best representation of the songs lyrics. Then I just go for it! I print out the full lyrics as well, so I can read what the song is saying completely.

Hope this helps! :-)
