I Will Miss You All Tonight!

I wanted to let you guys know that, sadly, I will not be able to get down to the City for tonight's songwriting group. I want y'all to know how much this group has come to mean to me in only a few short weeks. I am totally committed to this group and have been so charged up from being in this intense, inspiring environment with you. I feel like this has been a shot of adrenaline in my life. I have spent a lot of time working on my songs this past week and will have much to share with you next week.

In the meantime, if any of you can email me your songs/lyrics from this week, I would love to critique them & send feedback

Also, just for the record, my vote is to go lite on the egg timer tonight. I think it's important to have some rough guidelines about time and to keep some sort of loose track of who is the first person each night, as that person tends to get the most time. But personally, I have been getting so much out of other people's critiques & feedbacks. I have no problem if they go longer than their alloted time.

OK. Have a GREAT NIGHT TONIGHT EVERYONE! Do you realize how lucky we are to have this amazing forum/support network for our music?????

OY!

So it is wednesday. I have spent the last week reworking songs i presented in our class - AND one i have been working on with someone not in our class. I rearranged an entire song this weekend - AND what does this mean? all i want to do is bring in the chorus from that song cause i am sooo in love with it again! (it is not that old of a song - it's been a work in progress for a little while and i think I hit it!) So i am writing cause i think that is what i am going to do - I have lyrics for a new chorus - written this weekend - but no music yet - (actually have lyrics for 2 choruses - though one is a full song an the other a chorus) i think i am jus ton the fence as to whether i did the assignment or not - OY!

Assignment: Writing a chorus

Hey, gang!

Just an observation here: For the assignment above I've been going through my music library listening to songs to find some examples of a really strong chorus. I was really surprised to find how many songs in my library DON'T have a chorus at all, or have really understated ones. Even the pop songs. I definitely found a striking lack of chorus!

Here we go!
