Song 1
1st song Ideas
Brad, Ben
- Emaj7, Dmaj7, F#7 intro, verse, outro
- Bminor, Emajor, Dmaj7 bridge/pre-chorus section
Gradual change, positive vibrant start for first verse and chorus, as song progresses the mood comes down slowly changing into a more negative accepting feeling. Jackson 5 melodic rhythm = when I had u to my self. It would be good to add nice high note embellishments whilst playing the chords on the higher strings.
This is me jotting down an idea for the 2nd verse. I try to add more lyrics and make a possible start to a similar harmony to the first with just a little difference to separate them both.
lyrics
1st Verse
Emaj7, Dmaj7, F#7
I know you and I know that u know me too
I know we’ll get by if we try
Harmonies in between
Brad = Bass = G#, F#
Jacob = Alto
Ben = Tenor = G#, F#
You can drive all your life thinkin
your doing it right but your wrong
Pre-Chorus
Bminor, Emajor, Dmaj7
It dosent matter if theres no way yet
We just gotta let go
You cant jump in water and not get wet
Time will show
Chorus
E, C#minor, A, B x4
E, C#minor, A Dmajor7 (break) D#major7, E#major7
2nd verse
I think we should spend less time
Trying to find the lost parts of our mind
Harmonies
Brad = Bass = G#, B. G#, C#, B
Jacob = Alto =
Ben = Tenor = G#, B. G#, C#, B
Meaning
For me I think this song is about a young couple going through normal every day problems like not knowing if your putting your money into the right things or spending your time in what feels like the only way you can and it still feel like your doing something wrong. Being very busy with work and contributing to the house needs and seeing that the only time you get to spend with each other is the night but thats taken by sleep so you can work in the morning.
Same Song Different Lyrics and Melody
I think we
should spend a little less time
Trying to find
The lost pieces of our minds
What people want us to see
What people want us to be
Its different from what we need
Responsibility
2nd Song Idea
Brad, Ben
Amin, G major7, Bminor7, Eminor7, verse
Soft, Lovey, emotional feel to it
Someone Call The Doctor (3rd song)
Chords
E7#9, Dmaj, Amaj, Bmaj, intro, verse = guitar 1
Emaj, Dmaj, Amaj, Bmaj + guitar 2
power chords, G, B, D, E x2 pre-chorus = both guitars
Cmaj, Dmaj, Bmaj, G, F#, E x3, chorus =both guitars (Jacob breaks off for lead parts)
Bass
Root notes of chord x2
Root notes of chord + octave at the end (on the B)
Same root notes for E and D but then break off into basic minor pentatonic lick with a blues walk note to the G (pre-chorus)
Pre-chorus = Root notes for G and B then octaves that bounce off each other for A and E then goes back to verse riff.
Repeat
Chorus
- Awesome intro solo
- driving powerful rock song like Zeplin/Peppers
- vocals similar spoken to Unbelievable by EMF
- Far out from what has already been written for the album
- more unserious
- From a cocky immature lads perspective
Lyrics
1st verse
Some one call the doctor
I need help immediately
Ive been laying here wasting on the floor
Out cold since 3.00
I must of tripped and fallen or something
man im not sure
the only thing I remember is that you were a bore
Pre-Chorus
(spoken)
Ha must be her, im not boring
her problem not mine
Chorus
2nd verse
Some one call the doctor
The conversation is reliant on me
ive been at the bar really trying for her but it looks its not meant to be
she seems she’s not on this planet
or maybe she’s not into me
(spoken)
even so not like I care
Ill find another one wont I ?
2nd Pre-Chorus
Its as easy as that for a guy like me
Chorus
Meaning
I would say the meaning of this song is about cocky arrogant guys who think they are walking legends who never understand that what they do and how they try attract people by acting like they don’t care is mostly disrespectful, it looks stupid, its cringey and most of all it almost never works. I guess its about them protecting there ego’s or cred when they get rejected for acting like a melt.
