    Lyrical Hooks

    in Songwriting

    Posted

    I agree with Lazz. I have heard many songs with a good hook, but I've had no idea what the song is about! The initial 'feel' of a song can make or break it. I often think that the 'sound' of a lyric is often as important as the actual words themselves. My mind is a blank at the moment so denying me supplying any suitable example! Billy Connoly did a very funny skit about the typical pub singer. Somebody who knows no words of the song except the last line of each verse and the chorus!

    "Hadaweeeeeeee

    Fordagaaaaayyyyy

    wadabeeeeeeeaaa

    I love you!"

    All being greatly exagerated!

    By sustaining the last sylables with what sounds like the correct words, the pub singer can sing any song!

    You might try Marc. He writes some pretty good film type compositions! he's a member of this forum but visits infrequently. Try the link and listen to some of his compositions. I think he's a great writer. He can probably write anything you want! :)

    Have a listen to,

    Hey D* I may have some kits for this somewhere! I used to buy computer music regularly and I seem to remember them putting out some kits on the disk. I'll see what I can dig up!

    Hey Emil! Welcome to Songstuff.

    In my country, it is a sin to sit cross legged.

    Really...? :-/ Perhaps you could explain that?

    I play Kabak Kemane. (Also known as Iklig, Rabab, Hegit, Rubaba , Keman, Gicak, Giccek or Gijek)

    Forgive my ignorance! Is this a style of music? Or an instrument?

    I hope you like it here. And I hope you attain your dreams of vast riches... It never quite worked out for me. :)

    Here we are then! This is my baby. I've had this guitar for over 30 years. I had originally bought a Fender Telecaster that was frankly, a piece of firewood! So I managed to do a swap at a local music store for this Antoria Les Paul and an accoustic. The only improvements made to this guitar were a new set of machine heads and the addition of the Gibson pickup, which was given to me by a friend. Oh I also stoned the frets due to a few uneven ones. It plays superbly! Much better than any Gibson I've ever played. (And I've had a few in my hands) and I would never part with it! I love it! :)

    The technology has moulded my way of working!

    That's an interesting point! I remember I used to just pick up my accoustic and write. Had to remember everything. When I finaly got hold of a 4 track, my writing changed considerably. I would spend hours programming the drum machine and writing the parts out on manusript in the relevant bars. Now with the computer, I write differently again! Never really thought about it before...
