    When it comes to the success of a good song, it is not about the message it is about the messenger.

    With me, I want to write a ballad for my story, but I'm so new to songwriting that I'm going to have to go to another video because I don't know what a verse chorus or bridge are but I know what it's going to be about and the reason it's going to be a ballad is I write stories in more of a historical setting so modern types of songs are not what I want because I want a type of song that fits the setting better but I should come back to this video later after I learn what a verse chorus and bridge are.

    I think this was very very informative, you have sufficient examples for your points as well! I love the section on adding extra interest in the verse instrumentation, I never thought of that 😊 when arranging. Dope dope 🎉

    20:27 4'33" by John Cage is the piece you were talking about that is entirely composed of movements of tacit.
    I like the piece because of the conversation it sparks about what makes music. My music theory classes had many great conversations about what constitutes music, because most if not all definitions of music we developed ended up excluding a sizable chunk of music or including things like speech.
    Love the podcast! Keep 'em coming!

    • @SongwriterTheory

      Ahhhh, yes! Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and the comment clarifying the piece!

      Haha, believe me there are ALWAYS some haters, but I appreciate the kind words. I definitely have some more beginner-oriented stuff that should make more sense, and I do plan on doing some "back to basics" kind of stuff here soon, hopefully those will help you out! Is there anything specific you'd like to learn or think should be covered for beginners?

    Sir please tell if you have a chorus first then how to create a story for a song

    • @SongwriterTheory
      @SongwriterTheory  11 місяців тому

      Chorus first gives the unifying idea or theme, so then you can build the story around that unifying idea or theme in a way where each verse leads into the chorus naturally- because you already know what the chorus has to say

    Actually all i hear is 'shit'.
    Its never worth spending time here,,, always beating around the bush till the end,,not talk about the exact point..but boring story of pilot, barber, cobler,etc..
    Be specific and hit the point man, you r not talking about song as a story and how to be a good story teller, writer, instead you r going far away from what actually is songwriting and what exactly is the verse..
    Im sorry if I've offended you, im being honest..
