So, Mike...are you already decided on your verse, pre-chorus and tag? Or do we still have until the 19th to present ideas?
I think a few of us still have some unpresented ideas. Also, hearing your verse and pre-chorus changes the ballgame on how the chorus would be written...whole different context.
How do you want to go on these remaining four days? Hi Mark We still can go to the 19th for submission on ideas. I'm hanging with my verse melodies for now.. I have heard some wonderful alternate ones but mostly they take the song in a different lighter direction. Many of our choruses have similarities but no one has touched on any verse approach like my original one, which is a positive strong indicator to me. I was mainly looking for that special perfect chorus. I haven't heard a verse that would make me pull mine., phrasing or lyrically... it's grabby with impact and angst & young people will get that right away. No one took a rhythmical approach. Everyone went for a smooth melodic thing, which makes sense, but there's plenty of that to follow. Through your hands or fists in the air when you sing, attack with even a little rappers attitude, now & then.  Thta's what I LOVE about the band Disturbed the singer is like a drummer, very rhythmical and musical. The Song has to be cool in the first few seconds or forget about it Same goes for tag section. Love the word "Emergency" in this song...placed right. One word sounding like it took 4 short words place Our pre-choruses are also close to one anothers. I do like my opening line melody it's the end that's harder. Yes It does set up a different lay out for the rest of the song. When I get this down to the final 3 selections I may sing you guys choruses and put it with my other sections. I still love your original chorus melodies and style. I can hear it in this as the sections go from angst to progressively softer and a bit nicer to the chorus. Has anyone else worked off my added melodies? On the last few days I would go on, nailing a chorus to go melodically with my 3 sections melodies. My pre-s can use smoothing, absence of the right lyric may be some of the trouble, My verse sounds like a modern rock song, and thats what we are writing! For the lyric minded see if you can write to my melodies, now you hear them so you know how they have to fit.... Not easy! but which way really is lol....
