RockRock
Terrible name for a song really, but that is the tentative name of this melody I’ve been singing in my head. It started at work in a warehouse. This melody popped into my head. Huge catchy number with horns and two big, quick crashes. “da dununah crash! Duh crash!” kind of thing. It was so in my head I went out to my car and recorded my self sounding the melody on my camera phone. Good thing too because I couldn’t remember it when I got home. So I took out my phone, played the song back, and figured out how to play it on my guitar. One thing I couldn’t do without the guitar is figure out versus. Only the chorus. But with the guitar, I could figure out the chords for the chorus and try to write a different melody for the versus. It’s worked ok. Instead I came up with a horn part. The lyrics are difficult but I figured out the chorus:
I wanna Rock! Rock! All night long
I wanna Dance! Dance! Till the dawn
I wanna Sing! Sing! Sing my song
Come on everybody won’t you sing along
It’s cheesy power pop the the max. But that’s why I like it. So RockRock is the working title. I hope to find a better title by the time I finish writing this number.
I am a musician in Northern Virginia. I am a drummer of over a decade of experience but have decided to focus on writing songs for the guitar. If I had a band, it would be called Bring Mommy the Scotch as it has in the past. However, I have decided to home record a solo album of my music and it will be called Whiskey & Wine. This Blog is dedicated to providing me motivation to complete this album as well as updates on my progress.
