Song Composing & Writing...These days I keep posting non-stop... Hahas! :D Something about songs right now...Music is an essential part of everybody's noise.It certainly is a very important part of my life... All these while I've been writing lyrics, on and on and it's getting annoying when ppl kept telling me, ''FW, Y don't you add some tunes to your songs?"It's easier said that done...Really....Partly cos I'm skilled in piano, so if i compose I gotta compose for 2 hands(right hand for melody and left hand for harmony). And currently since my songs doesnt hav fix tunes, so whenever i take out my lyrics and sang, my melody for my songs changes everytime, cept for a couple of songs, which the tunes kinda imprinted in my head.So i see a few options open for me..
1.Send a few songs to Terry for him to add in the melodies just like what he suggested(this is definately a yes for sure! Aw...how sweet ^^).2. Play my piano well and then the chance to learn guitar and use guitar to compose the melodies.3.Continue to write the lyrics w/o the melodies and that's that...From the options... the 3rd one seems as if i'm standing at a point without moving forward... Doesnt sound right... It's where I am standing at right now... But it's nt gonna be for life! For sure!It's like writing stories when I compose the song lyrics... I had tons of things in my head...Different scenarios, diff feelings, diff messages, diff settings of where my music should bring the listeners to(bring the readers to if it's story-writing).One thing about song is that you gotta make the words rhyme and at the same time convey the message you wanna send across, and also take note of the tempo of the song...Right Now I'm working on a new song... so far i've only got the chorus done up... Usually that's how i write... Chrous first and I work my way out and up and down from there... Cos to me, Chrous is the part where emotions reins supreme in the whole song...Here's a taste of it... :)
Trapped in the spheres of illusion,
Trapped in the mist of confusion,
With doors shut on me, & no place to turn,
Like I'm trapped in the subburns.
Trapped in the spheres of illusion,
Trapped in the clouds of emotions,
I'm losing ym way, & losing control,
Like I'm trapped with no place to go.
Title of the song... Spheres of Illusion :) I'm spreading out from the chorus... working my way out..
Sometimes i work from the top of the song...the 1st line... sometimes I started with the chorus... Sometimes I just start from smewhere and then later decide whether this will be the chorus or the beginning or the later prt of the song... :)
