whatever happened to writing a song to write a song and not worrying about form or a hook? if those things happen, they happen but they aren't needed.


if i've offended someone, i'm sorry....but i'm actually pretty offended by this thread and how many people who are willing to lower songwriting from an artform to just some formula. you people are the same people who end up ruining music.

Eggs23508: haha, we're ruining music?
Jon the Villain: more the people going "try doing verse verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, verse verse i find it works great for me!"
Jon the Villain: you know...the people just out and out telling him what to play
Eggs23508: ah
Jon the Villain: maybe i should specify that?



now i have. :p
