Music lesson, talking about last night’s nightmare:

• I don’t like the intro very much, teacher suggested two choices I could do to improve this:
  • Drop the lyrics
  • Repeat the last line
• I feel like the song feels too structured and rigid
  • Teacher feels like it works with the theme of the lyrics
  • We could make it feel less locked in if there was more dynamic contrast, like during the bridge
• We could make the ending feel bigger and more satisfying
  • Could add a saw by creating a high end fill, to improve the dynamic contrast
  • Add another instrument when the chorus repeats, doing an octave double
  • Add another vocal when the chorus repeats, doing an octave double or a melody
  • Add a drum fill in the first measure of the progression
  • Consider adding a tom to the drum pattern, like an 80s tom
