|
when you write lyrics do you just write whatever, or is there a certain place or "muse" you draw from? I often struggle writing lyrics to songs that I write.
|
the lyric and music are written at the same time. in rare cases, there may be bits of melody first. in which case the main muse is probably the melody. but usually the lyric and melody are born at the exact same time. in that case, often for a muse i will imagine a visual scene or setting, like imaginging a video, and then see what happens next, and break into song

they are different from one video to the next, but it's possible that 2 characters in the same video may be the same person

I've tried your suggested experiment to keep all chord voicings within an octave (to get out of "stuck in root position block chords land"). But now I've encountered a problem: certain major 7ths are becoming flat 2's, which sometimes makes me cringe even in midrange. I googled a potential solution, "stride piano," which requires insanely frustrating left hand precision.
|
i don't see how stride piano has any relevance to this issue
|
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html
|
If I don't wanna do this, will I just have to IMAGINE the bass note while playing non-root harmony in left hand, solo in right hand?
|
oh i see. you're trying to play melody things with your right hand, while also somehow accompanying yourself with your left hand. and i think, reading between the lines, you have no bass player. in that case, what you are doing requires 3 hands. if it were me, whenever i'm on a keyboard by myself, it's always bass in the left hand, and pretty much everything else with right hand, and, of course, my voice. If you are not allowed to use your voice, then i'd say just do bass notes with left hand and melody stuff with right. eventually it will become instinctive to start also throwing chords and harmonies in, with the right hand also. for example, if you play melody note E, and the chord is C, you might play E and C with the right hand. there's actually 1000 different ways to use the piano, and it's different depending on how many other players you have with you, and whether or not you are singing

Have you ever been in a relationship/fallen in love? Just curious because "new Canaan" seems to allude to this, and it says "based on a true story" at the end. I know you have a habit of saying things in songs that have no connection to real life, but just thought I might ask.
|
any loving feelings in that song are about the love of writing songs while traveling. it is based on a time that i traveled somewhere and wrote a song about it

yo what're the chords are the chords from "raging on ... until the day is done"? "Raging" specifically I was unsure - maybe B7?
|
for that, you want B+7 which means B in the bass, and A, D#, and G, in the not-bass
|
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html
|
And then is it C Cm Bm E7 Am D G or something?
|
pretty much. for your Cmin, put the bass to Eb, and for your Bm, make it Bmin7, and for your E7, make it E7sus4 (maybe just Esus4), and for your Am, make it Amin7, and for your D, make it Dsus4, and then it's in good shape
