Hello to all of my songwriting students. First, I will not be there on Saturday, Jan 13. So take a week off to write lyrics. You all know how fast it comes together when you actually do the writing.
Here’s what we have. Jamal FREESTYLIN?!!! Yep and had the touch I might add. Him and Nels D layin down new tracks. We patched in a B section. What happens in the B section STAYS in the B section! To Nels: write a verse and then bring it next time. Oh and Asia, Jamal rapped on your tracks too. Sorry about that reverb, I took it off. But I love your song.
Here’s the lineup for the Saturday after next: It’s about half the class so we have room for others if you show up. Jamal is getting his bassline. Can we get a violin on Nels’? Guitar for Jamal? Michael Jackson… you had to see it to believe it. Excellent. Little prayer for your audition. If you are done with the big stuff let’s get your song down. I think you should compose with notes. Your ideas tend to be beyond the limits of our hipphopp methods. But nevertheless… what happened to those lyrics? Protect your precious ideas like they were precious art.
As for the rest of you… where were you? Come back. I can be nice.
Jeremy
