  • Songwriting Cheatsheet
    Songwriting Cheatsheet If you study the charts, you’ll realize that great pop songs are not accidents, and they are too plentiful to be the products of so-called “inspiration”. Pop songwriting is a craft that can be learned and applied with practice. I’d like to share what I’ve learned over the years from both my own writing and conversations with many professional songwriters. Hopefully you can apply these tips to your own songs! The elements of a great pop song are as follows: 1. Song Structure Great songs start with a great structure. While there are several popular structures used in pop music today, what they all have in common is that they provide a balance between repetition and presenting new information. A great song structure is designed to keep giving your listener something new, but also provide them with enough familiarity to keep them engaged. Let’s first define the typical sections, or parts of a pop song: Verse: Tells the story – answers “who, what where, when and why?”. Lyrics usually change from verse to verse, while the melody usually stays the same (though it is sometimes embellished upon slightly with each passing verse). Pre-chorus (or “the climb”): Functions to build energy and lead the listener into the chorus. Chorus: Sums up the message of the song – answers the question “so what?”. Contains the song’s “hook”. Lyrics and melody usually stay the same in each chorus. Bridge: Provides lyrical and melodic contrast – usually by offering a different point of view or perspective (something we haven’t heard before).

  • Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal *
    Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal * Stephen S. Hudson NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.21.27.1/mto.21.27.1.hudson.php KEYWORDS: Heavy Metal, Formenlehre, Form Perception, Embodied Cognition, Corpus Study, Musical Meaning, Genre ABSTRACT: This article presents a new framework for analyzing compound AABA form in heavy metal music, inspired by normative theories of form in the Formenlehre tradition. A corpus study shows that a particular riff-based version of compound AABA, with a specific style of buildup intro (Aas 2015) and other characteristic features, is normative in mainstream styles of the metal genre. Within this norm, individual artists have their own strategies (Meyer 1989) for manifesting compound AABA form. These strategies afford stylistic distinctions between bands, so that differences in form can be said to signify aesthetic posing or social positioning—a different kind of signification than the programmatic or semantic communication that has been the focus of most existing music theory research in areas like topic theory or musical semiotics. This article concludes with an exploration of how these different formal strategies embody different qualities of physical movement or feelings of motion, arguing that in making stylistic distinctions and identifying with a particular subgenre or style, we imagine that these distinct ways of moving correlate with (sub)genre rhetoric and the physical stances of imagined communities of fans (Anderson 1983, Hill 2016).

  • MTO 23.3: De Clercq, Embracing Ambiguity in Pop/Rock Form
    Embracing Ambiguity in the Analysis of Form in Pop/Rock Music, 1982–1991 Trevor de Clercq KEYWORDS: Form, popular music, rock music, verse, chorus, bridge ABSTRACT: A central concern for theories of form in pop/rock music is the division of a song into sections and, consequently, the categorization of these sections according to a standard set of section labels. Psychological research on categorization shows that it is inherently a perceptual process, one that involves graded membership and fuzzy boundaries. Thus in contrast to prior theorists, who often a2empt to minimi/e ambiguity in the analysis of form in pop/rock music, I confront ambiguity directly, organi/ing and describing many of the common types encountered. I focus e4clusively on the time period 198 –1991, 1hen verse5chorus form can be considered to have achieved 1idespread currency. After providing an illustrative e4emplar, I discuss three types of ambiguity common to this decade, each based on the main section role involved: 16 verse ambiguity, 1hich typically derives from 1eak section di7erentiation8 6 chorus ambiguity, 1hich usually involves a blend of more than one section role8 and 36 bridge ambiguity, 1hich often results from di7erent hierarchical meanings of the bridge label. Received December 2016 :olume 23, Number 3, September 2017 Copyright © 2017 Society for Music Theory Introduction ?1.1] ,he analysis of form in pop/rock music traditionally involves partitioning a song into various discrete sections, such as verse, chorus, and bridge. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this process is not al1ays straightfor1ard, since t1o di7erent analysts sometimes provide t1o di7erent interpretations of the same song.

  • Handout For: 'Repetition's Sonic Connection in Lyric Writing By: L Dunn
    Handout for: ‘Repetition’s sonic connection in lyric writing by: L Dunn ● Chorus or Refrain: is the repeated section in a song that’s function is to crystallize the idea, the intent, the emotional point and statement the song is making and is often repeated verbatim at least 3 times in a song’s structure. I should note for those who don’t already know, that a ‘refrain’ is defined as the same lyric line, word for word, that ends each separate verse section (the last line of the verse). It can occasionally appear as the first line instead of the last line of each verse. It differs from the ‘chorus’ which is a separate multi-lined section of it’s own that generally follows a verse or pre-chorus. But a chorus can also be the first section, leading off a song. ●Pre-Chorus or Lift: is a repeated song section, often using the same lyric each time it repeats. This section precedes the choruses in a song’s structure. ●anaphora: is the repetition of a word or short phrase at the beginning of successive lines. This is a very commonly used device in lyric writing, here are 2 examples: * “When Will I be Loved” by Phil Everly, recorded by: The Everly Brothers, Linda Ronstadt, Vince Gill, Carrie Underwood, John Fogerty, and Tanya Tucker among others. I’ve been pushed down/I’ve been pulled ‘round/when will I be loved I’ve been made blue/I’ve been lied to/when will I be loved *“Who’s Cheatin’ Who” by Charly McClain, recorded by Alan Jackson.

  • How to Write a Rap Song
    How to Write a Rap Song Though every artist can come at the same project with a completely different process, having a foundation to work from is useful if you're struggling to write your music. To write a rap song, follow these instructions. Part 1 Writing Lyrics Brainstorm While listening to a beat on repeat, allow yourself to free-associate or even 1 freestyle out loud to get your creative juices flowing. Do this for a while without setting pen to paper. When you're ready, make a list of every concept, unique perspective, or potential lyric that popped into your head. Allow these to guide and inspire the content of your song as you move forward. § Let your ideas brew for a while. Carry a notepad around with you so that if you get a flash of inspiration while you’re on a bus, working out, or buying groceries, you can capture the moment and hopefully expand on it. Write the hook If you were writing a term paper, you'd start with a thesis. But this is a rap 2 song so start with a hook (a.k.a. chorus). The hook should not only capture the theme of the song, but, more importantly, be catchy and unique as well. A great hook will often inspire other elements of the song such as the beat or other lyrics, so don’t settle for something that doesn’t prompt any other ideas. § If you’re having trouble coming up with something out of the blue, riff off of or respond to a line you love from another rap song.

"Every Little Thing She Does is Verse / Verse / Bridge / Verse Instead, each verse usually ends (or begins) Magic" (The Police, 1981) with a refrain. "Somebody That I Used To Know" (Gotye, 2011) A refrain is a line or two that is part of the verse and repeats throughout the song. AAA Also called strophic song form. Rare in "Amazing Grace" (Traditional) contemporary music. Like the AABA structure, “All Along the Watchtower” Verse / Verse / Verse this one also makes use of a refrain in the (Jimi Hendrix, 1969) verses.
