Anatomy of a song and Hook of a song

Sathya Narayanan
30/09/2016 0 0

Lyrics

Its nothing but music and words - Song, it can be poetic or rhyming. It will contain all the elements listed below.

Create the Story –

It can be some thing which is bothering you,you want to say a message, you want to just pour out…what ever…. A social stigma of how your feeling helpless…. Or some thing you feel good abt and want to share it…you can fell it but cannot put it on paper, its like cooking, so the ingredieants are the same all over the world it’s the chef who makes the dish unique,and personal… so go ahead and borrow from other songs and resources, hey its your song…so what ever makes you feel good is accepted.

Create a title

We have to be careful, ppl knowing the title puts them in the frame of mind to accept the song, so it has to make some sense relating to the song…its usually the key part of the chorus, if there is one thing ppl are going to remember its usually the title which is there in the chorus…its also called the hook of the song…you get hooked to that peppy beat  or that funny sentence or that strong message.

Create Verse Section

This is where the bulk of the story is told, not necessary contain the main message, but it sets up the mood so that when the main message comes thru the listeners are ready to understand the concept, we can have more than one verses depending on how much story you have to tell.

Create a pre – chorus

Its not necesserly needed for a song, but think of this it in this way as a ramp or steps/elevator from your parking to your house, you drive thru highway and park and take the elevator to your house(the final destination). It’s a great way to set up the anticipation of the message.

Create a – Chorus.

This is where we EMPHAZIZE THE main meaning of the song, more often the title of the song would be there.Now this is where the song is in full steam ahead, all the instruments are LOUD . back ground vocals. Its often repeated in the song several times

Create a bridge.

It’s a really good device to change things a little bit. It usually gives a different view point of the same subject. Gives the song a fresh new out look all of a sudden.
