Cool
Here's another example of a song construction of music, prior to having melody and lyrics! I love this, as I stated in the other thread (How to compose), that I compose the music first, too.
Okay J. Dennis,
You now have the challenge of adding melody with lyrics to this song. Lots of potential.
What I like a lot about this piece is that it is much like a progressive rock song from YES, or Nectar.
Here's what else it needs - Synthesizer, especially in the stings/pad area, but also some cool lead sounds or other type of keyboard sounds (i.e. Rhodes piano) that would just add wonderful texture.
I had written in that other thread that lyrics will most often have to be re-worked to fit the melody that is going to be sung. Well here, is a work-in-process example of the music that might very well need to be reworked to accomodate singing expression.
At various parts of this song, I can envision a slow-down, or strummed chords that sustain, to allow a singer to do some good expression. If the guitars stay too busy, it is bad.
Keep us posted!
