  • How do you Write a Good Song?
    Well here's a song about writing a song! HILARIOUS and EDUCATIONAL!
    Lorraine Bowen has spent ages writing and recording a song which teaches people how to write a pop song. Learn about melody, lyrics, and STRUCTURE! Solo, Middle 8 (bridge), verses and of course a great stinking CHORUS! Get your lighters out and sing along!
    This song is from an album called CREATIVE JUICES - an album all about getting going with your creativity and doing something fun with your fingers from writing a song to making a piece of art or filming a movie! Go for it!
    LYRICS BELOW!
    HOW DO YOU WRITE A GOOD SONG by Lorraine Bowen
    How do you write a good song?
    How do you write a good pop song?
    Well the first thing you need is an introduction
    Ba ba ba ba
    Something that grabs the attention...
    Ba ba ba ba
    Then it's verse one
    You set the scene, you keep it low, you tell the story
    Then verse two
    more of the same, whatever style or category
    If your melody’s good and your lyrics are fine
    Create a link, create a line
    Going up with suspension, giving it tension
    Exciting you right up the spine to
    THE CHORUS, The CHORUS
    Give it some welly, sing from your belly
    The chorus, the chorus
    and you’re on to a very good pop song
    We're into verse three
    Keep it short, don’t bother with a fourth cos that's boring
    Add some brass, some harmony
    Keep the audience from yawning
    And before you can wink, you’ve got a shorter link
    You know what's coming up soon, you can tell by the tune
    We're leading up, leading up, leading up, leading up to…
    THE CHORUS, the CHORUS again
    Get your lighters out, sing along
    The CHORUS, the CHORUS
    Oh that's how you write a good song
    Oh that's how you write a good pop song
    Then suddenly out of the blue
    comes a random section called the middle 8
    The middle 8, the bridge (whatever)
    The chords have gone weird and you have to be clever
    To get the song back into shape
    A solo gets us out of this scrape! Go!
    SOLO
    The CHORUS with a key change
    But make sure you write it within your range
    The CHORUS. Finish around 3 minutes
    And that’s how you write a good song
    Yes that’s how you write a good pop song
    And all rules are made to be broken …
