Songwriting 101

I have been stuck listening to the radio a lot at the coffee shop since the CD player died.



To the songwriters out there: maybe it's time to break the mold and stir things up a little. A song, like a sandwich, consists of 3 general parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. Other than those basic guidelines, the rest of the ingredients are all up to you.



It doesn't just have to be verse/chorus/verse/chorus/break/chorus/verse/fadeout all of the time, does it?



Just a thought... think outside the bun.
