Album update May 11
May 10th, 2009 | By admin | Category: Album UpdatesAfter trawling through the latest round of ‘fragments and thoughts’ I managed to get some melodic ideas for some of the ramblings. A particularly nice one for a song in progress called ‘another perfect moring’ – just a vignette about waking up as autumn mornings close in and the air begins to chill somewhat.
My friend Howie came over for a critique sesion on Saturday and put some blunt truths in front of my face regarding a need to differentiate choruses from verses- stuff I know already but hadn’t applied thanks H. I will be looking at changing entries etc on vereses so they are after the beat and trying to modulate to different chords for the choruses and verses.
Not sure if I wrote about the Nashvile critique for Mr Perfect – well recieved – great lyrics- but where’s the chorus? It was felt by the five participants in the session that there was nothing they could clearly come away humming as a hook line – thus failing the ‘singability’ criteria. I have a line I am pursuing for a chorus and will record it over the next week.
About to do a co-write via skype right now- and managed to do a couple of songs with Julie Stewart on Firday so – there’s plenty of balls in the air- oh and I need to get at least five songs complete for the ASC songwriting comp by WEDNESDAY!
Did someone mention I need a holiday?
