Or maybe I just don't understand the concept here.

Now if you had a 3 minute piece that outlined verses and chorus' then we could see the whole picture. It is an interesting idea, I just don't understand why it is parceled out piecemeal.


Hi Joe,

Finally I reached this post smile Your right it would be better of course to have the whole song. The verses are very small in this song,,, They hit a chord and then have a scratching guitar sound that plays like a beat, very spacious.

You can catch part of the verse right as the pre-chorus starts. I'll post up a verse going into the pre- into the ending chorus soon.

My thought here and I'm thinking on the fly as usual was to put up the chorus.
I figured if the song is ever gonna be anything it's gonna have to have that most importanly. While as I'm looking to finish this song I'm also doing this for a few reasons and one is to help some people here with there melodies, and writing approach, and there versatility etc... take them out of there comfort zone a little.

I'm setting things up like say we had a BAND and I'm the guitarist and I came up with this cool chorus music change. And I was looking to the singer or any other memeber of the group for a contribution to this chorus.

This is kind of a test in collaborating as well... It's about just being "musical"
If I can't come up with a cool chorus then I'm in trouble as a songwriter. Or I may just not be feeling this song or that part. Maybe I can come up with something for the verses while someone else nails the chorus etc....

Thanks for reminding me though to bring the verse in I was just trying a snippet of the song to see what everyone can do just focused on one main section with everything they have.

When hearing something catchy, Jumping in with catchy additions is the first sign of
being very "musical" having that potential hit writer quality.

Mark K did that right away without even thinking.. that's very "musical"

Where is Niteshift????? by the way!

Thanks Joe, I'll get that verse up asap...

Thanks!
Peace Mike
