>>> Hi All!
>>> Lately, I've been listening to some songs that have been written by a particular songwriter on here, and I'm not impressed with the vocals, or the lyrical content!
>>> The lyrical content is vitally important, because your songs have got to grab your listeners!
>>> The melodic structure is also important.
>>> If something's too simple, and it's one line sung over and over again, and the voice isn't good, the listener's going to listen to something else!
>>> Your lyrics must rhyme, and flow with the melody!
>>> You shouldn't start a song in one key, and go up to a totally unrelated key!
>>> For instance, on "Country ain't Country Like it once was," it started in D, and then moved up to G for the chorus, for no earthly rhyme or reason!
>>> Stay in one key!
>>> If you start in D, and you want to go up, move it up a half step, to D Sharp!
>>> It's also supposed to have a flow, like if I sang "It is Well, with my Soul in D, and I move up to D Sharp!
>>> I'd sing the following notes, in the middle of the last verse.
>>> The clouds be rolled back as a scroll," would be A D C Sharp B B C Sharp D E, and then I'd go up, by rolling that E, down to a D Sharp for a 16th note, up to F, and then hit that B Flat, like Poverati, and sing that note twice, and go into singing that song in D Sharp!
>>> That's how to propperly go up!
>>> If we were doing a skype call now, I'd probably lower it a key in giving my example, since today's not a good day for me vocally, but you get the point!
>>> I hope this helps!
>>> BTW, don't rhyme "Do," with "Do," like Alan Jackson does!
>>> Blessings, Joshua
