How I Write Songs
Harmonies of Heartache: Son of Stone's Melodic Journey of Love and Longing
Lyrics
I often start with a chord or two
Starting the songwriting process with a couple of chords.
And then I sing I really miss you
Expressing a longing or emotional sentiment in the lyrics.
And that is normally how I write a song
Describing the typical method of songwriting.
No intro is needed
Stating that no elaborate introduction is necessary.
Only a guitar
Emphasizing the simplicity of using only a guitar.
And then into a chorus
Moving into the chorus section of the song.
And then I start
Indicating the beginning of the songwriting process.
Here's a song from me again
Introducing a song to the audience.
It's optional to listen to the end
Suggesting that listening to the entire song is optional.
Here's a song for everyone
Presenting a song for a wide audience.
Come on and sing along
Encouraging the audience to join in and sing along.
Here's a song from me again
Repeating the introduction of a song from the artist.
It's optional to listen to the end
Reiterating that listening to the entire song is optional.
Here's a song for everyone
Repeating the offer of a song for a diverse audience.
Come on and sing along
Encouraging continued participation in singing along.
I always write on my black guitar
Stating a preference for writing on a black guitar.
And sing the same line over a few bars
Describing the repetition of a line over multiple bars.
And that is normally how I write a song
Reiterating the typical songwriting process.
My feelings are open and so is my heart
Highlighting emotional openness and vulnerability.
Transfer it to music and then I start
Transforming emotions into music as a starting point.
Here's a song from me again
Presenting another song from the artist.
It's optional to listen to the end
Reiterating that listening to the entire song is optional.
Here's a song for everyone
Offering a song for a broad audience.
Come on and sing along
Encouraging participation in singing along.
