Song

Lynn Leonti asked:


I’ll Always Be Your Mother is a new mother and son wedding song that I wrote for my son’s wedding in 2006. 

 When my son told me he was getting married, I knew I wanted to write a song for him and his new bride.  My intention was to give him something special and personal.  As I started to write the song, it became more obvious to me that it would be a wonderful song to be played at the wedding that he and I could dance to. 

 The focus of this mother and son song was not so much about him as a boy growing up.  It was about his special wedding day and the start of his new life with his new bride.  I wanted to welcome his new bride into our family as my new daughter and wanted her to know that we could always share his love.  I wanted to let him know that I would always be there for him.  I wanted my son to see his new wife as his best friend and that it’s important to always be faithful to each other.

 I wrote the lyrics for this mother and son wedding song and Jim McShane wrote the music.  We recorded the song in a traditional version and played it at the wedding.  It was beautiful to everyone, young and old, male and female.  I was encouraged by so many people to publish the CD and make it available to others.  So, with this encouragement, Jim and I also recorded a country version and released our single, recorded in both the traditional and country versions in May of 2007.  The CD is available at www.shopmysongs.com where you can view the lyrics and listen to a short clip of both versions of the song.

 My new father daughter wedding song titled I’ll Always Be Your Daughter was released in May 2008.  I am recording a new bride and groom first dance song titled Two Little Words.  It will be released in June 2009.

 I am not only a proud mother of two boys and a daughter-in-law, I am now a proud grandmother of beautiful little girl.

 Best wishes to all mothers & sons, fathers & daughters, and all parents on their special wedding day.

If you are looking for the best song lyrics database, you should look for one that features the lyrics to thousands of tunes from the past as well as the present. When you are looking for song lyrics, you want to find a lyrics database that is easy to use and makes searching very easy. Here are some tips to finding the best song lyrics database:

 

The first thing that you will want to do is to look for a lyrics database that features all of the best known lyrics from your favorite songs. These include songs that you like now as well as those from the past. You want to be sure that the song lyrics database is always updating the lyrics in their database and that they are not stuck in some other decade. The lyrics database should have very up to date songs as well as older songs in their database. This is how you know that the song lyrics database is covering as many lyrics as possible and is up to date with the hottest new songs. 

 

The second thing that you will want to look for is how you can search for the song lyrics. You want to be able to use more than one search tool. There are often times that you know the song by sound but are not sure of the title or who sang the song. A good song lyrics database will not only provide you with artists tools to search through artists, but also other tools that can refine your search and filter in those songs that are likely to be the song you are thinking of. Look for a lyrics database that uses more than one search option when it comes to finding song lyrics. 

 

Looking through song lyrics is fun, but often you want to listen to the song.  It is nice if you can do both on the same site. Instead of just looking at a boring list on some website of song lyrics, you can find both song lyrics as well as music videos when you use a good song lyrics database. A good lyrics database will feature not only the lyrics of the songs by your favorite artists, but also some music videos that you can listen to and watch right online. And not just older, homemade videos, either. The music videos on a good lyrics database will include the up to date original videos from the original artists. 

 

You can have a lot of fun looking up lyrics and music videos when you are exploring a song lyrics database online. The internet makes it easy not only to find the best song lyrics that you are looking for, as well as ones that are accurate, but also to find the best music videos by your favorite artists, all at your fingertips. When you use a lyrics database, you will have all of your music information that you want, right at your fingertips. There is no better and convenient way to look for music online than by using a lyrics database.

You’re getting married!  Congratulations!  You’re trying to choose songs with music and lyrics that will escalate this event from special to extraordinary.  But if “Here Comes the Bride,” makes you think, “There goes my lunch,” something less traditional—and more distinctive—might be more your style.  Even though you’re going for music and lyrics that are less customary, be clear on what those lyrics are actually about.  There are numerous songs with beautiful, romantic melodies whose lyrics tell a very different story.  The dearly beloved who are gathered together to witness holy matrimony should be gasping at the bride’s beauty or the groom’s elegance, not at a song blaring inappropriate lyrics.

Yet it’s amazing how many couples choose contemporary music whose lyrics — or their intended meaning — goes over their heads like a bride’s bouquet.  Guns ‘N’ Roses’ “November Rain,” which has been played at many weddings, is about a couple on the verge of a breakup, and has melancholy lyrics like, “When I look into your eyes/I can see a love restrained/But darlin’ when I hold you/Don’t you know I feel the same?”  Although there’s a ray of hope at the end of the song, don’t use this one unless its lyrics mirror something you and your future partner have personally experienced, and surmounted.

Don’t invite any Lou Reed fans to your wedding if you intend to play his song, “Perfect Day.”  Yes, its lyrics are sung tenderly, and yes, they’re accompanied by beautiful piano and orchestral parts.  But they’re widely regarded as describing Reed’s previous heroin addiction.  Some of those lyrics include:  “I thought I was someone else/Someone good/You’re going to reap just what you sow.”  But then again, the song raised scads of money for a children’s charity, so maybe using it for a wedding isn’t that farfetched, after all.

And maybe it’s not so unbelievable that Billy Idol’s “White Wedding” has been played at many marital unions.  Not because the couple already made whoopie before getting married, but because the lyrics are actually anti-marriage.  Inspired by his contempt for the man his sister was marrying, Idol wrote this song and its lyrics about the anger felt by a man whose true love marries someone else:  “There is nothin’ fair in this world/There is nothin’ safe in this world/And there’s nothin’ sure in this world/And there’s nothin’ pure in this world.”

“Every Breath You Take,” by the Police, is another popular wedding song, probably because of its dreamy-sounding music.  But it’s lyrics are a nightmare — they’re about a stalker:  “Every breath you take/And every move you make/Every bond you break, every step you take/I’ll be watching you.”  Singer Sting wrote the obsessive lyrics after he and his first wife separated.  Coincidentally, Sting created so much tension in the studio over the recording of this song, that the Police broke up after the album containing it was released.  Two breakups related to one song — don’t use it for your wedding, unless you enjoy gambling.

Romantic music and Percy Sledge’s powerfully expressive delivery of the lyrics to “When a Man Loves a Woman” make it a popular wedding song.  Beware, though — the lyrics caution men about being blinded by love for a woman who treats them like dirt:  “When a man loves a woman, down deep in his soul/She can bring him such misery/If she plays him for a fool, he’s the last one to know/Lovin’ eyes don’t ever see.”  In an emotional tirade set to music, Sledge improvised this song’s lyrics onstage after being dumped by his girlfriend.

So, before you take that magical walk down the aisle, make sure the spell isn’t broken by songs with lyrics that make you want to sprint in embarrassment in the opposite direction!

Over the next few minutes, we are going to discuss the beginning basics of how to write a song, the intro, the structure and the verse. Over the next few minutes, we are going to continue on with more tips for the beginner song writer. We will talk about the structure of a verse, the actual music, lyrics, melody and chorus.

Ok, the basic structure of a verse is your four chords and four line structure. This basically means you sing your first line over four chords but sing four lines all together. We are specifically saying four because it seems to be the most used, average number in even by the most experienced music composer.

When learning how to write a song, you don’t have to get too difficult with the music and the instrument you play. Your main focus should be on the basics of the music. Start with the four basic chords and lyrics, you can add to the song later. An advanced music composer often just starts with the main idea, the chords initially. When the song is ready to go, then you can add or adjust as you feel needed. How to write a song begins with the structure and interaction in the song between instruments, rhythm and vocals.

Now that you have the basics down, you can continue you on with the writing of the lyrics. You probably already have many things you want to write or sing about so try to narrow it down to one first. Start with writing the first and second verse together. These sentences can be short or long but they do need to flow in the same general direction or topic.

The lyrics of the song’s first verse are somewhat of an introduction of the story you are singing about. If you have a real topic you should try to write the first and second verse of the song together. If you just want to sing about a general feeling you can write the lyrics of the first verse on it’s own. When thinking of your chorus ask yourself what you enjoy about your favorite songs. What makes the song catchy for this will be the essence of the chorus.

Once you have all the basic elements written down then you are ready to put your song together. See, learning how to write a song way easy and it’s a fact you don’t have to be an excellent music composer to do just that! Remember, being a song writer should be fun, not a chore so relax and have a good time with it!

I am trying to impress a girl I like a lot. I want to play a fairly easy song that will win her over. A slower song with chords as a base would be great.

Jimmy Cox asked:


There is a whole process of marketing that needs to be explored if you have gone to the trouble of completing a song which you believe could be a hit. The principal difference between an amateur and professional songwriter is that the professional writer has at least one published song to his credit. It thus follows that if a new songwriter has a song accepted and successfully exploited by a recognized publishing firm, he will encounter little or no difficulty in obtaining serious audition and consideration of his future numbers.

It is the first song, therefore, that presents the greatest stumbling block to the new songwriter. The reasons for are as follows:

1. Of the material submitted to publishers by new songwriters, only a very small percentage has any commercial value. The major percentage of this material is either improperly written, contains direct “steals” from copyrighted songs, or lacks sufficient originality to compare favorably with numbers written by professionals.

2. There is no dearth of song material. Publishers receive a sufficient supply of new numbers to keep their catalogs full and their songplugging staff busy.

3. There is no compulsion, therefore, for the publishers to seek new songwriters. This does not mean that they have shut their doors to new talent. It does mean, however, that this new talent must be particularly outstanding to receive their attention.

4. A certain amount of time, effort and expense must be risked in the publication of any song. The publisher naturally desires to keep this risk as low as possible. If he publishes the work of a successful professional songwriter, he knows that there is a good chance that the song will “click” and that he will come out even or perhaps ahead on the deal.

5. Songs written by professional songwriters are generally much easier to plug than numbers written by unknowns.

Marketing a song - particularly a first song - often requires patience, tact and time. Assuming that the song has real commercial value, there are several ways of gaining a serious audition by the publisher. However, there are certain facts that should be borne in mind when the initial contacting is done.

In the first place, it should be made quite clear that there is no short-cut in marketing a song. The songwriter should have only one goal in mind . . . the ultimate publication of his song by a recognized and reputable music publishing firm.

In what form should the song be when it is submitted to the publisher? This question often perplexes the new songwriter who is undecided whether the number should be printed, hand-written, fully arranged, or fully orchestrated. A hand-written, legible copy is actually all that is required.

If the song is submitted by mail, it is usually advisable to have the number properly arranged or, at least, to have the proper harmonies indicated on the manuscript. The reason for this is that the publisher’s piano player will be able to perform the number just as the songwriter had intended it to be played, using the proper harmonies and chord, sequences. It is unnecessary to go to any great expense for a simple piano arrangement.

However, if it should be inconvenient for the songwriter to use a New York arranger, any local music teacher should be able to sketch in the simple harmonies required. A professional piano arrangement costs approximately $25.00 (depending upon the arranger).

If the songwriter is able to contact the publisher personally and is able to perform his own number adequately, there is no necessity to have the number arranged. This also applies if the songwriter brings a friend with him who is able to perform the number.

Piano arrangements are not essential but they do insure that the number will be played just as the songwriter intended. If the number has a strong melody line and does not require any special or complicated accompaniment, a professional piano player will always be able to fill in the proper accompaniment without any difficulty.

All that is required now is determination and luck. Go for it!
