Ok im a great believer that you should try everything once in your life barr the obvious (killing and sodomy) so this year is my year of sitting in trying my hand at new ideas and trying new stuff. 2006 will be the year i tried to get a song into Eurovision.
I have never written a song before and dont think of myself particuarly musical though i can bang out a few chords on the guitar and piano but i dont think you need to have too mush talent in writing a Euro entry you just need to add the formulated ingredients
Ok so to start somewhere we/i need to think about how popluar music is going and to work out the 'formula'.
I think we need a chorus that is repeative but also is a god tag line and be good to repeat in your head either through catchiness of the vocal melodyor in the line striking a chord within me.
I'd also like to try tried and trusted chord changes. A bit like Busted's All About You. That isnt really a song but a frankenstein song made up of all the best changes that the beatles ever done. Can anyone think of any examples of songs with killer changes. As i say theres a lot of work to be done but i would like to think we could come up with at least an efort to enter.
I know Axeman has the facilities and i presume some song writing ability a si think i heard him mention last summer he was still writing and recording his own tunes.
Ive no idea what kind of song we'll do or the lyrics but if you have any nice little catchy meaningfull lines that you always thought would be great in a song then add them. Also if you like popular music then mention 1 or 2 songs for me to listen to as i aint that up on it. I would end up trying to write a Destinys Child song
...we're pumpin pumpin
:pat
aye it aint gonna be easy but im determined to have something to show for our efforts. If anyone wants to co-write the song then feel free to add to this thread in Music forum as the time goes on. I'd say we'd need a tune for Nov but we can check in time. I suggest we get a classy chick to sing it and we do all the music ourselves. Mickeypaul is a dab hand with electronic/computer music too and im sure theres more musicians who could add their bit but i say we keep it simple to begin. Ok i'll have a think of a chorus as i go and we'll take it from there. It aint gonna be easy.
