Welcome to Intructions and Compostition

[Magic Arrow]

This is where you give tips to fellow members, as well as discussing what styles and your style of order.

What is Composition:
Composition is just another word for structure. It is the way a song is written in a particular order, in order to better it. You have to remember that the better the composition, the better the song will sound, the better your song will be.

A basic sample would be like this:

Musically, rather than lyrically, a song is quite often something like:

Intro
Verse
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Verse
(Pre) Chorus
Bridge
Final Chorus
(Outro) Chorus

There are tons of variations to this setup, this is just something for you to work your lyrics around.

That is basically how a song is arranged.

How to compose a song

Title
This is what your song will be called. I have gotten a few tips to help you choose your title:

1) Make sure your title is catchy. I can't stress how important this is. Without a catchy title, the song won't sound as good.

2) Your title should be words from the lyrics, particularily from the chorus. This is not always the case however, and you can use words from wherever you want from the song.

3) Never use racior abusive words in the title. You can use them in the lyrics, but never ever use them in your title. This will make you look like your trying too hard, so people will judge your song without listening to it.

Intro

This is how you start your song. This is what I find the hardest thing in writing lyrics. However, I have found easy ways in trying to get them done.

1) Start off soft, don't go into things straigh away. Going into things straight away. Going into things straight away too quickly will make the rest of your song sound dull and boring

2) Your intro should get the listeners and readers mood changing. Personally, I feel the use of adjectives and emotions very important. This helps the your readers or listeners get into the mood, which sets up your chorus.

Chorus

The chorus is by far the most important part of your song. If you don't do it properly and in an organised manner, your song won't sound as good and usually fail. Tips are below:

1) Make the chorus easy to remember. This is very helpful in that it gets readers to think about the song even when they're not listening to it. The easier it is to remember it, the more it will stay in thier head, the more they will listen to it.

2) Try not to make it to repetitive. Although being repetitive helps in the rememberance factor, it isn't good for the song to be too repetitive. Doing this will make it too boring. Use rhymes and metaphors. Doing this will make it sound (and look) better.

3) The chorus will be used more than once, so try to vary it the second time around. Do not change it so much that it is a whole new chorus, but make little edits, so the listener get something new everytime.

4) The title usually come from the chorus, so try and make it relevant to the title. Also ensure that it has meaning, not just sound good. A mixture of both will ensure a good chorus.

Verses

The verse is usually telling a story. The song is sung based on these verses, and they are what make up the song. The better the verses, the more meaning the song has. Below are tips.

1) Like a story, the verses should be put in chronological order. If they are in order, the readers will follow. The better they are put, the more the readers will be interested.

2) Ensure the verse, like the chorus, has meaning. Make it effect people, so that they come back and listen to it more. There are many ways to use this to your advantage, so it's up to you on how you do it.

3) The verse is written more than once. However unlike the chorus, you should change it as a whole, to match what it together. When writing your verses, pretend that there are no other lyrics, and just concentrate on the lyrics.

Outro: Coming soon.

I can't count how many times I was listening to a song thinking it was amazing at the moment but then.... two minutes later the song is repeating the same dull chorus over and over.

Word of advice: make sure you have a good chorus.

 

[OldFinn]

Oooh, someone wants a sticky!

 

[Analog]

Oooh, someone wants a sticky!

Agreed .
I don't think an explanation is needed for "instructions", i'm pretty sure if you don't know what they are, you won't be able to follow them.

Thanks, your post made me remember alot.

 

[deadzone]

Just something I would like to also mention this its generally better and much easier to write your lyrics then do the instrumentals and if ever when going from the verse to the chorus it's hard to find a good instrumental change that fits don't be afraid to change the lyrics around a little and always be patient. If you're impatient while putting instrumentals with the lyrics it will show in your work and will make it look bad.

those are words to live by.

a good chorus is what makes a good piece of music memorable.

or one of my favorites is when you have different chorus' that sound slightly different but almost the same, which keeps you in anticipation at which the next one will say.

 

[unknown pker]
