Idea’s on Songs
As I always do, I have analyzed music that I like. Because I feel like I need to know why I like something- well its that and I’m kinda OCD. And I was trying to figure out what the common thread is in the music I like, and I boiled it down to three things.
- Killer Vocal Harmonies
- Great Guitar (especially a good solo, not necessary but hey I’m a guitarist leave me alone)
- An awesome, hooky chorus
This combination is almost like a drug for me. I also noticed this pattern in the music that I write, which I try to add all three elements. It of course doesn’t guarantee that everyone is going to love it, but whatever. I just thought I’d throw this one out there. Hopefully someone is reading, since I’m trying to write more often.
