After listening to Kanon by ART-SCHOOL over and over again, I finally started writing lyrics for this song I've been playing around since December...yikes. Funny thing, the song kind of sounds like Kanon... The lyrics, of course, will reflect my personal experience with a girl, I know what you're thinking "Great, another love song. Boooo!", but rest assured this song will not have the term "love" in it. It's probably gonna be a corny song but hey, practice makes perfect.
Thought I'd be creative and write the song in a third person view, so basically I'm like narriating my own life. I know eh? Genius. *Nods head with arms crossed and eyes closed* Now the hard part is writing the chorus, but the question is DOES THIS SONG NEED A CHORUS? Hmmm... delimna indeed. Also I only have one guitar part and I've been trying over the weekend to think of a second guitar part, but with the extent of my music knowledge and skill, it is very difficult. Then there's the bass track I need to incorporate and as well as the drums, I'll let Chris handle the drums I trust him. I think this is a song where it'll be recorded with all instruments but can be performed acoustically when live, you know for a change of pace. Right now I'm playing the song and attempting to sing the lyrics (what I've accumulated so far) on the acoustic gee-tar and boy oh boy are my vocals mediocre... if not worse.
I haven't even thought of a title for the song yet! Actually, I should say I've thought up of many titles just haven't decided on one yet. ART-SCHOOL probably has the biggest influence on me, in terms of trying to write song, Hinata has the biggest influence on my bass playing of course ;), So I would not be surprised if the lyrics are similar to that of their songs and even the title is entitled with girl's name or something in relation to a girl. I've come to accept and learn that Riki Kinoshita can write some very emo songs, haha. Riki is after all my favourite song writer, so if I write some mad emo songs, I don't blame myself.
Now back to the lyrics I'm working on, I actually thought of the first line last night before going to sleep, like a true artist I waited until I woke up to write them down. Great ideas arise when one is prepare to call it quits. Now so far I have about.... 12 lines, 6 bars, one verse? Man writing a chorus is hard and I gotta make a new guitar composition for that part. TOO MUCH WORK.
La la la laalala
la la lalaa
That's how the vocals go btw, LATER ALLIGATOR.
