WC 18.01.2016 - Reflective Diary

This weeks reflective diary 

This week we started creating a new song. George came up with a verse and then Elisha picked up the bass line then we got to work writing lyrics. Me Jayden and Elisha started writing the lyrics and we wrote the first verse. We also came up with a chord progression for a chorus but we haven't got lyrics for that yet.

When the band start writing a new song we all turn down and sit and come up with a guitar part before we add any thing else so there's something for everyone to go off. Turning down and not playing over each other helps us to communicate and talk to each other.  Luckily we all liked the guitar part that George made up, in my opinion it sounds like the same style as 'three days of grace' and I quite like that band. We started talking about the structure of the band and we decided that the intro and the verse would be quite acoustic like, in the way that it will just be the guitar and vocals and then everyone would come in the chorus.

I think our bands biggest strength is communicating. However i feel like this week we haven't been as colaberative as we normally are because we wasn't really working together as a team to write the new lyrics.

Next week I think we need to work better as a team in order to write these lyrics effectively, this means we have to turn all the instruments down when we start rioting lyrics and communicate and all contribute ideas, so the song sounds how we want it to.

The lyrics so far are

Verse 1 -

I can't take this anymore
I'm sick of feeling so insecure
I'm sick and tired of the shit you say
I wish this pain would all just fade away

Chorus-

I don't want to be here
I want to spread my wings and fly
I just want to leave here
And tell my family goodbye
