Question Posted Saturday January 13 2007, 11:08 am
I am in a band and my band and I have great songs but, just not great enough for people to actually listen to and dance to. I want to have great music that could actually be on an albumn someday. any advice that I could use to spice my music up a notch? I am from America and ten years old. Yet we still have wonderful songs. at least, I think.
I think that is really cool, how you guys have a band and you are 10 years old! I am 15, and I can't do anything lol.
Well, think about stuff that you like to listen to. The music that you like, and get some inspiration from them.
My friend is in a band, they are pop punk, and he writes his lyrics based on stuff that is happening in his life.
People like music they can move to, but not so much dance to. Have a different varity of tempos, some songs slow, some songs upbeat and fun.
My boyfriend is in a band, so I gave him your question, and here is what he thinks:
Listen to different kinds of music, rap, funk, even disco, and get ideas. Write songs, and ask people their honest opinions on them, likes and dislikes. Have fun with it, you don't want to write something and not have it be an enjoyable experience. When you have a couple of songs, record it on something, and then make a myspace. When you have a myspace, you can get not only you friends, but other peoples perspective on it.
I hope I helped some, and good luck with your music [: when you guys are done with everything I would love to hear it! [ kc's advice column | Ask kc A Question ]
