suggestions:
Mix It Up some.....
I'd like to see the first and second line in the
chorus rhyme, and then with a completely different
thyme sound, rhyme the last two lines in the chorus.
You really shouldn't ever use the same rhyme sound
in more than two lines in a song, unless maybe its
in a three line bridge. You should also mix up the
syllables like using compound words for rhyme.
always be thinking unique, original, variety. Use
variety in your rhyme sounds, line lengths, single
words vs. compound words, high and lower notes in
the melodies, etc. Always be thinking variety. The
only thing that is the same in a song is the hook
repeating and the rhyme placement. Listeners expect
to hear and recognize rhyme patterns and sing along
with them. It helps them remember the words. So it
make sense you would want to have rhyme in your hook
and chorus.
Experiment With New Directions
& Ideas
Play around with each line for a while. Gotta be
something more descriptive, personal, original,
unique to express what turns you on about your
woman or the situation you're writing about.
Some line can make the difference between a hit
song and just another good song. Whatever it is,
the words need to paint a picture for the
listener of love, desire, lust???
