Songwriting 101 (Feat. Princewhateverer) - Thrack/PrinceWhateverer.mp3

[00:00.212]Sometimes when I find myself trying to write a song
[00:06.492]Gotta make sure its catchy and that it doesn't run too long
[00:12.371]Mix some chords convince yourself you know how to play guitar
[00:18.352]Then convince everyone else that you're a f****g star
[00:36.245]Wow, this song got energized much quicker than I thought
[00:42.262]Piled on 12 instruments and turned it up a lot
[00:48.276]You're allowed to repeat chords, or change em' throughout the song
[00:54.275]The chorus is the part where you get mocked if you sing it wrong
[00:59.570]Starting with the 1 do the classic up right up to the 4, keep it high on the 5 then take the energy home.
[01:06.072]Bounce around the 4 rock it back and forth then go (woah)
[01:11.212]Give the song a new riff try the one that everyone knows easy
[01:15.054]Get a whiff of nostalgia but you know its cheesy
[01:17.992]Remind them of the catchy part where we all said (woah)
[01:24.201]Lyrics can be meaningless just splatter out the lexicon
[01:30.105]look around and double check the crowd is not yet gone
[01:36.178]What is a diminished chord I don't know how they work
[01:42.150]before you learn to play the drums, you can play the soundboard first
[01:50.489]Bring it back around once again with some newish words
[01:53.720]You can use the same ones or treat it like a verse
[01:56.925]run with whatever's popular cuz it works then go (woah)
[02:02.191]You're doing all the same shit taking chord progressions from other songs
[02:05.820]Teeny speedy tambouriney moves the groove along.
[02:09.209]Really there is not a lot you can do wrong just go (woah)
[02:14.178]Then break it down
[02:17.039]Take it easy
[02:20.785]Let everyone know how you're feeling
[02:26.025]You can ask some friends
[02:28.748]Make them help
[02:32.386]When the parts you write you can't play yourself
[02:39.156]Hey, Prince. Want to do a solo?
[02:41.173]Top up-
[02:41.845]Ha! You're such a kid. Go!
[02:44.125](Solo)
[02:54.603]Now you've got a full song
[02:56.215]And it's feeling more full than before
[02:58.185]You just layer the guitars till you cant fit anymore
[03:01.683]Polish up the track so you can go on tour to sing (woah)
[03:06.900]Get the band up on the stage, play it live at your local event
[03:10.449]Doesn't matter what your age, just lock in till it ends
[03:13.608]Crowd participation sing along with your friends they go (woah)
[03:21.255]Yeah, we did it.
[03:23.462]What... what the heck is an equalizer?
[03:27.315]How... how do you do reverb?
[03:32.865]Is there a harmonica in this?
[03:35.774]Put another double clamp right there.
[03:39.401]Hey, hey, Prince. Are you still here?
[03:41.932]Can... can we hang out more?
[03:44.269]What's a tonic?
