So Rock Star and I rehearsed yesterday AND today, for a grand total of 6 hours total on one specific tune. We then brought it in to Bob and Brett, and they hated it! Well ok, to be fair, they did not hate it. In fact, they loved the chorus; it has a great hook. They did however disapprove of the verse. And to be honest, I wasn’t sold on it either, but I think Rock Star really did and he is bummed. That’s ok, I am going to take it to Chicago over the holidays and take it up a notch. The song is called “Get out of my way”, and let me tell you, it smokes. It’s going to be the opening track. It’s has an amazing hook. We have to make it work. I don’t want to throw this one away.
Can I just say I had no idea how difficult it is to write a song? It’s not as easy as you think. There is definitely a science behind it. It of course primarily has to start with a feeling. However, in addition to this, a song has specific fundamentals that it needs to be able to become a solid song. I guess I never knew this.
We also worked on the “Heavens sake” song today. I will also be taking this one to Chicago over the Holiday to see if I can write some lyrics to it. Should be fun. That’s Bob biggest thing. He wants this to be fun for all of us, and it is. But it’s also a lot of work! Very cool experience. I have learned a ton of stuff. I am grateful everyday for this opportunity.
