Topic: What D'Ya Call It ?

A little frivolous thing - but why not ?! It needs two more verses.

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !

Re: What D'Ya Call It ?

I imagine this as a real upbeat song... I like it!

What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: What D'Ya Call It ?

I like it....but I think it needs some kind of bridge that reveals something more about the song, I think it would be really cool if it revealed something personal, but that's just me.

no audience required.

Re: What D'Ya Call It ?

Good idea, TheOnlyTaylor ! I think I've only written one other bridge before.

hi stransongs,

when it comes to a bridge, if i'm stuck i usually look back at my old (failed) songs, i may find one catchy line, or a chord sequence that'll set things off.

i like what you've done so far, 2 more verses to follow, and a bridge?

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

That's really good advice, Phill.
Love the song because I know where your coming from.

Re: What D'Ya Call It ?

Actually I'm not sure about another two verses, I may just repeat. Apparently when talking about songwriting Van Morrison said "I just repeat things all the time". This songs all about repetition.

As for the bridge, I'll let it fester for a while and see what comes up.

I realised that I already had a chord sequence for the bridge. When playing, I already had started to extend the  chorus with the following.

Asus2 - A7 - Asus2 - A9(no third) .    Which is a one finger movement

Asus2  -  002200
A7      -  002020
A9(no third) -  002000

Hi StranSongs,

I can hear a kinda funky up tempo melody in this with a definite bridge.

Good Write big_smile

Looking forwards to the recording

Re: What D'Ya Call It ?

This is just an idea, but what if the bridge started out the same way as the chorus, but the chords and temp changes with lyrics that go into detail on each line.

Guess ya call it standin on the back porch
telling her its all right

ya, I Guess ya call it waiting around
when she needs you most

Guess I'll call it, standing up for you
guess ya call it,
oh I know you call it,
girl we need to call this
Love.

just an example, use it if you like.

no audience required.
