    How do you decide if a songs melody is going to be ascending or descending?

    • @WriteASong
      @WriteASong  7 місяців тому +1

      It would depend on so many factors: Are you working towards a high point or note in a key part of the song? What mood are you trying to get across? Does the melody accompany any lyrics or chords that indicate a path to take? It's difficult to provide a general rule!

    Example Monster by r.e.m is about 6 or more songs and 7 or more songs and more than 30 minutes which is roughly about 49:18. Who is responsible for the total amount of duration of the whole entire studio album 💿 from track 1 to track 12 aka what’s the frequency Kenneth which is track 1 to you which is the closing track track which is track 12? And is it a studio album 💿if it pass 30 minutes like 31:00 or 32:00 and more than 6 or 7 tracks like example tongue is on track 7 while track 8 is bang and blame?

  • @Songwritersbehindthecurtain

    I have a interesting 🧐 question is standard album and deluxe edition records do they tell the same story like example four by one direction has 12 tracks and the total 🟰 duration is about 43:33 and that’s the standard version of the record now what happens if there’s bonus tracks like example one direction four has 16 tracks the total 🟰 length or duration from start to finish is about 57:19 does it count if it it’s telling the same story when the album sequencing change from start to finish aka standard edition what it comes with aka 12 tracks aka deluxe edition aka ultimate edition with bonus tracks that has 16 tracks? Four album 💿 japan 🇯🇵 total 🟰 duration is about 57 minutes while the ultimate edition is about 1 hour and 11 minutes does it still count telling a story and does the album sequencing change even though it still count as telling a story for album 💿?

    And who is responsible for the total duration of the whole entire studio album 💿?

    In your own words are album are viewed as one big story?

  • @Songwritersbehindthecurtain

    My album 💿 monster by r.e.m is actually about 49:05 and it has about 12 tracks and it has above 6 tracks aka above 7 tracks does it count as a studio album 💿? album is six or more songs with a total running time of 30 minutes
    or more and in digging into spotify's information spotify seems to simply say
    that an ep is up to six songs in less than 30 minutes 44
    or more and in digging into spotify's information spotify seems to simply say
    that an ep is up to six songs in less than 30 minutes
    and an album is six or more songs at more than 30 minutes the main bullet point is if you have over 30 minutes of run time and six or
    more songs it's an album less than that it's an ep does album 💿 sequencing change when you’re doing an ep or album 💿 and why does the runtime aka duration change jonathan for it has to count as a studio record in your knowledge why studio album 💿 has to be more than 6 or 7 tracks and more than 30 minutes to count as a record? And Can you please 🙏 make a UA-cam tutorial on does album 💿 sequencing change and also make a UA-cam tutorial on more than 6 or 7 tracks and more than 30 minutes to consider a record aka studio album 💿?

    Whether a beginner or a more advanced like me, that tip wasn't helpful. It's never helpful to say if it spunds good it is. Sound, as well as Good, are subjective things.

    • @WriteASong

      Yes, which is why songwriters should just concentrate on writing songs that they like the sound of. You are never going to please everyone.

    And why are album 💿 are viewed as one big story?
    IAMLXGEND

    It is a cohesive collection of songs used to tell a bigger theme or project an overall vibe. Think of an album as a book. And your songs as chapters. Every book has chapters. Every album has songs. Each chapter is different. Each song is different. But the collection of chapters (the collection of songs) is what tells the full story of the book (of the album). Usually the songs on an album are the result of an artist's creations during a season of life. This means the songs can all speak to a similar set of themes, ideas and topics. So the aim of an album name is to try and sum up the big story/concept that all the songs pull from when they were written. It's not always like these, especially today. But traditionally, an album is like a "book" with the songs inside being like "chapters." Fun stuff! (I think 🤓) is that true and why are studio album 💿 are viewed as one big story and does studio records count to have 6 or more songs aka 7 or more songs and more than 30 minutes to count as a record example monster by r.e.m. has about 12 tracks and it has about 49:05 aka 48:38? Do they count as a studio record even though it is pass 30 minutes and more than 6 or 7 tracks what’s your opinion about it?
