PAGE 2:
May 19, 2020: Essay: Song Analysis, dissecting Songs you like, or don't like, to see if you can determine why you do or don't. It's an exercise to learn about it, not something you have to formally do the rest of your life. I think it helped me comprehend Songwriting Structure, lessons about the Human attention span, and the 'Hook Factor' in components of Songs.
May 24, 2020: "One Kind O' Blues". Based on a quote from Son House, it's a blues working through a typical I7, IV7, V7 progression. I tried various 1-4-5-7's, E7 - A7 - B7, G7 - C7 - D7, and each one has its nuances of how it works with the Lyric.
May 31, 2020: "Your Very Thin Line" which I just stumbled across while cleaning (LOL) I mean...moving s--t around. I wrote it in 2009. It crossed my mind a few days ago. I remembered the Singer-Character standing outside that door in the Chelsea Hotel. I couldn't remember it, long, poetic as much as Lyrical. Damned fool that I am I forgot to write down the chord progression I sang it to.
June 11, 2020: Essay: A Song Is A 'Communication'.
July 6, 2020: "In A Funny Way". It's a Song 'fabrication', a 'crafting' more than an inspiration. But I thought the first two Lines had 'merit' so I tried to write it.
July 11, 2020: "All The Way To Texas".
August 2, 2020: Essay: "Enough", "Not Enough", "Too Much."
August 14, 2020: "Shouldn't You Be Gone".
October 7, 2020: "I Can't Tell Any More".
Two Lyrics with the same title. I stumbled into a site called K. C. Turner Songwriting Club, which offered the title and a challenge to write a Lyric using it. I wrote one with a negative angle, and a couple days later wrote one with a more positive vibe. I didn't imagine a Melody, didn't play guitar to compose the Lyrics, just fabricated them.
