The Elements of Hit Songwriting

Some songs make it big. They get endless play radio and media-of-the-moment. On top of the Billboard charts. They start a great career. A song, a catch is often all that is needed. And most of the songs - the ratio is probably too large to calculate - do not. A lot of it is just "luck".

Yet there are some common elements in the breakout hits. What are they and how can you write your own breakout hit?

Music Hit

The best way to write a songIs not to write a song

The Elements of Hit Songwriting

You read that right, dass

It 's almost impossible to force a good song in the world. I do not care to use such software, it is almost impossible to achieve brilliance without genuine inspiration. Let's face it, music is an emotional language. You can not intellectually or mathematically create an emotionally powerful piece of music.

If there is a rule that labor is this: write the best songs of their own. Bothlyrics and the melody will immediately fall by the lapels and scream "drop me". Then time to sit down and really get to work. Write a song is like a large sculpture. The stone is already there, you just have to bring the beauty of it through careful processing.

Captain Hook

Think of the following sentences: "Yesterday," "Uptown Girl," "Maria," "Jingle Bells." Unless you just landed on planet earth, these words have become an instantMelody is in your head. A hook is where to come to a simple phrase of a song and a simple turn of a piece together and insert it into your brain. It's called a hook because you like a fish takes. I thought, produced the musical Man of La Mancha, and many nights I could not sleep because of "The Impossible Dream." Yes, because I could not deny that songs irresistible lift-off in my head, dreaming and even "impossible."

Hooks can be simple or complicated, but must be clear.Beethoven, in his fifth symphony has four hooks of note. In some songs, the hook throughout the song, repeated in an almost hypnotic. In others it is something that she expects and requires only two or three times during the song. Marry the melodic hook in a clear and impressive lyrical hook, like "I kill again", or something, and you're on your way.

Oh, I know what you mean

TV shows like Seinfeld have been very successful, because manyPeople, the signs are. Everyone feels like George at any given time. Every couple has "their song" which they relate.

Listeners are in your song much more when they refer to the passage of what has been said. You can write about situations that many people in one, as a new report or a phase change of life. People turn to music when it's time to face life, so writing the music in this discussion with them aboutMoments.

Who did it?

People love a good mystery. They love to enjoy something unknown. And they love even more surprised if more than they expected.

This is a good rule for songwriting. If I start with a song like "I'll let you live until Sunday," I have created tension. Who's killing me on Sunday and why? Then you can tell a great story. This keeps people feel. If Zinger delivers a surprise, shewrote a great song. A song is really a story. It claims to be, but it should not make promises and reveal new surprises at every verse.

The Arc de Triomphe

Have you ever heard Ravel's Bolero? It 'a Spanish dance with a basic sentence AB is repeated endlessly. And yet, for some reason is immensely popular and deeply satisfying to hear. Why is that?

And 'because Ravel build an arc. With each repetition, change tools,Orchestra depth changes, and finally, the piece builds a full orchestral climax. Ravel masterfully draws the listener in his bow on energy.

You can do the same thing in your songs. If you start at full speed, you have nowhere to go. If you start simple, and can grow to the song, you can enchant the audience that along your musical journey. Just when you reach a climax, you can write a bridge that completely changes the energy. After the bridge, backthe chorus, and then the listener has the feeling of coming home again. Awesome.

Think about how your song, he must bow power against you, and make it dynamic and dramatic. Do not hold back!

What was that?

If there is one thing that really bothers me a lot of songs, is this: do not know what the hell is the song is over, I will if I need something more than two listens to find out what the song says, wrong. "Abstract" songswhich means only one thing, the writer or need explanations are simply excessive. If you love someone. But do not expect to be a success (unless you are advised to follow their release with a high-profile crime, not me. Think of the families!) Write something, say so to speak Do not talk around it.

This does not mean that every song is too simple. The songs can and should be layers of meaning. What I'm saying is that to hear the musicSong of all let me clarify the meaning of the disc surface. Then I hear every time I see the acquisition of new knowledge and deeper levels. What is bigger than a song that offers continuous discoveries?

Shoot the Messenger

Performance is important. The recording quality is very important. The ability to sing in key, with feeling and expression, and with a clear articulation are essential. If you do not sing well, can someone else who can. You do not need Barbra Streisand, butdo not want to hear someone say, and "this person can not sing to save themselves," either. If you believe in the song, give you the best possible presentation.

The same applies for registration. If you know what you do in a recording studio at home, by all means you want to have your demo. If not, please do so professionally done. This will do two things: 1) you will think twice about your equipment and ensure it is ready before you have the money to record it, and 2) you get aThe record to be proud of. Your goal is to write a hit song, do not sabotage the work with a great blow.

No one can guarantee that the song I write is the next big thing. In life there are things that we control and things that can only be influenced. We control the song writing, but we can only influence the success will be. E 'to focus on the best we have control and a compelling, moving and memorable songwriting. Then there will bebest we can for Excellence and forward to success.
