Members rhino55 Posted September 11, 2015 Members Share Posted September 11, 2015 This is a good start. I'd try and work in more specific examples, and maybe come up with some more interesting rhymes. Day/way, fire/higher, true/you are all tired rhymes and right now, it feels like they are driving the story. Online rhyming dictionaries can be really valuable tools to have handy. Rhyme zone is a good one. You can also just google "rhymes with ??????" and you'll usually get a couple of sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rickidoo Posted September 11, 2015 Members Share Posted September 11, 2015 This song put me in tears, applying it to a special someone who was once in my life. I love the first verse. Home run. (Note: I can’t write lyrics worth s%$%, but I know when lyrics grab me. They first verse is a home run. ) In the chorus, I think I know what you mean about “..loves you inside out” – you love the inner person first, then the rest following. I am not sure how I feel about that term “inside out” however, if only because it is such an overly used term – been around for a long, long time. And it can carry more meanings than the one applied in this song. But admittingly I am on the fence about it. Musically, I like the tune and the core of the music a lot. It’s very professional. The orchestration feels a little dated, 80 ish stuff. But that’s orchestration – and orchestration, as important as that is, is just window dressing. It can be changed. I respectfully disagree with rhino on fire/higher – while he’s right about the previous common use, but in this case, I don’t care – it works magically in this song and fits the emotion perfectly. The true/you thing… it doesn’t bother me per say, but it’s not hitting any home runs, specifically: :====================================I'm the one who loves you you know It's trueYou know I do and I care for you====================… I wish these two lines had more emotional oomph. They kinda come and go in the song and although they are sung with good emotion, the words themselves seem a little, ah.., vanilla. So to recap – the song certainly grabbed me out of the gate, but if a few of the inner parts can be buffed up a bit, that would be good. Best, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nat whilk II Posted September 12, 2015 Members Share Posted September 12, 2015 You've got a super-nice voice and delivery. The tune is very standard material, very well performed. How to improve it? Well, it depends on maybe on what you plan to do with it. It's not going to capture young people's attention, at least young people here in the USA. But there are a lot of older people - maybe people who grew up on Michael Jackson - who would like this very much. So it's what we would call Adult Contemporary music - comfortable, well-made music that doesn't take much of a risk. Similar to the Christian music genre in the USA. As Adult Contemporary music, it's quite good. As something that sounds fresh and innovative and individualistic - not particularly. If I was going to produce your type of material, I'd try to listen to material that is currently successful and try to find some ideas to make my material sound as up-to-date as possible. That's the best way to get people's attention. Good work - keep it up! nat whilk ii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mbfrancis Posted September 12, 2015 Members Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hey Irwin, thanks for posting. This is a cool song. I really like the orchestrations, and your voice is nice. Musically this has a lot of potential. I have two challenges with it: First, I think your chorus is too close to your verse musically. They sound exactly the same, just slightly differently melodically, so the song has no real movement, change, and momentum, and for me it gets boring. The other big problem I have is the lyric - a lot of your lines are saying things we have heard 1000 times in other lyrics. A lot of cliches here. The challenge with lyrics is to do one of two things: either 1) say something new, or 2) say something in a new way. If you can't do one of those, people will get bored quickly and change the station. (Even your title is already used by the Bee Gees.) Not sure what advice I can give you - use a thesaurus, rhyme dictionary, explore creative metaphors, use more descriptive nouns. All you are really saying is "I really love you a lot"... and if that's it then you need to find creative ways to say it. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Delmont Posted January 4, 2016 Members Share Posted January 4, 2016 This is a good start. Yup, Irwin is hot on the trail. I'd try and work in more specific examples, Yup. I'm a big fan of concrete images and situations. You can't say a feeling. and maybe come up with some more interesting rhymes. Day/way, fire/higher, true/you are all tired rhymes and right now, it feels like they are driving the story. That's one way to look at it. Another is that common rhyme combinations are fine as long as the lines themselves say something out of the ordinary. So that's something else Irwin can think about. Online rhyming dictionaries can be really valuable tools to have handy. Rhyme zone is a good one. You can also just google "rhymes with ??????" and you'll usually get a couple of sites. But be careful! Too often, people using rhyming dictionaries, thesauruses, and other crutches end up using words that don't really advance their songs. The main prerequisite for a songwriter is an imagination. I'm sure Irwin can come up with a couple dozen rhymes for fire without breaking a sweat.
