IF
YOUR SONGS AREN'T GETTING PEOPLE
EXCITED...
here's
no way
to say it clearer than this: If your songs are not
generating
excitement, they are DUDS, and you need to fix your songwriting
approach. This website will help you get started writing the kind of
songs you should be writing.
We can learn a lot about songwriting by studying
architects and watching what they do when they design a new apartment
building.
More than anything, the designer knows that no
matter how cleverly a
building is designed, if that
building doesn't generate some public
excitement, no one will move in. It's simply going to be the
best
designed empty building in the neighbourhood. There's got to be
something about that building that first and foremost catches the eye
of anyone looking at it. If it just looks like every other apartment
building in the city, they'll have to work like a dog to get anyone to
consider moving into that building over any other one.
Songs are, in essence, "buildings" of a different
sort. And if you are
simply trying to make your songs, your chords, your melodies and lyrics
sound like every other song out there, you've killed any chance of
getting listeners excited over your songs.
"I just want to thank you for being
so helpful. You are not just a teacher at heart, you are a teacher with
a heart... I've just
found your web-site so i just started reading... I can already see that
you are going to help me a great deal with my songwriting. thanks
again."

I need to restate this important point: Your songs are DUDS if they don't generate
excitement.
