Hey all, A song started coming to me the other day and as I developed it, I realised what I had was a perfect chorus. But I'm thinking that it grabs the listener straight away and really could work better at the top of the song rather than a minute or so in... What do you all think about maybe starting and finishing a song with the chorus with the verses and maybe a bridge in between?

Hey John, Kangaroo Point is an inner city suburb of Brisbane! I see you are from Scotland... my home country - I was born in Dundee ... Cheers, Crawf

Gidday Steve, Thanks for the welcome... I'm into quite a wide variety of music... from Neil Young, James Taylor and The Eagles to Sick Puppies and Hoobastank .. it seems the longer I'm on this planet, the more I expand my musical tastes... I think my songwriting style is somewhere towards the James Taylor side of that spectrum though..... I'm excited at the way technology has enabled the average person to experiment with their creativity in a way that the record producers and artists of the 60s and 70s could never have imagined.. Of course technology is one thing and creativity and talent are another - but if technology is an enabler for those who may never have had the courage or inclination (or money) to venture into a studio, then it is a great thing for the individual and the industry as a whole. Cheers, Crawf

Yeah I know, funny name for a place to live... and not a Kangaroo in sight :-) Been playing guitar for a long long time and many moons ago I used to perform at pubs and clubs on weekends and holidays..... these days I'm content to play for my own enjoyment. Just recently I bought myself a Boss BR-600 digital recorder and since then I have been busy trying my hand at songwriting and recording... hmmm definitely not as easy as it looks is it? So far I have one song completed and I'll post details on the review forum This looks like a great place for singer/songwriters and I look forward to interacting with you all Cheers from Oz, Crawf
