Hey guys, sorry for a few days quiet but we have been rather busy.
Below is the new logo for HUB CLUB (Official name now..)..
What do you think? Will it do?
We will be moving into HUB Cafe and setting up this weekend, so expect to see leaflets and posters scattered around there for the rest of the week, along with the sheets for topic suggestions.
Meanwhile here is one of the articles we intend to discuss in the opening week. It talks about how to write a good song, mostly about what makes good lyrics. So could you be a good songwriter? Read and find out...
Here are some extracts from an article we found about how to write a good song, they will be used and discussed on our opening day, but we thought you should have a good look at them first. More to follow.
Writing a good song
If you are working on becoming a singer or songwriter, make sure that you know how to put everything together by understanding the different components of a song and how they are arranged. When you are able to do this, you can combine everything musical into a complete song. The result is creating something catching and that everyone wants to remember. Knowing what it takes to make a good song is the first theory towards success as a songwriter.
The significance of a song begins with being able to put together the right lyrics, if you are writing in any singer-songwriter genre. It is the lyrics that keeps the song together and acts as the glue. If you are writing lyrics, look at them from different angles. Each angle can be used as you write. One angle to consider is telling a story with the lyrics. A second is considering the emotions or thoughts that are behind the story.With any angle you start to write your lyrics with, there is one thing to remember: the way that lyrics form the song. Most likely, you will begin with having a verse, then a chorus. The verse will always have new lyrics, while the chorus will repeat. In the chorus, you want to make sure that you have a hook line--the memorable sentence that ties everything together and is often repeated.
Here are a few different opinions from online forums:
1.
To me, lyrics make the song. I love good lyrics. Here are some of the things that make lyrics excellent:
1. They fit the music.
2. They tell a story.
3. They are literate.
4. They express something in a new way.
5. They are concrete and not abstract.
2.
I think what makes lyrics excellent is the time and heart that was put into writing the song. I write songs on my own sometimes, because of my emotions or feelings. A song that id find good is 1 that lets out ur sadness, or anger etc. The song must be from the mind or the heart or even sometimes the soul..
3.
I love lyrics that are powerful. they mean something important, and they leave you wanting to memorize them. I think they should sometimes tell a story, but nothing too big or it might start to sound cheesy.
What do you think? Give us your thoughts or come to the opening event to tell us how wrong we are...
