Okay. so far I have written two verses and a chorus to a song called You Know Where I'll Be. I don't like it. So I decide I need another title. So I get out my guitar and I sing the chorus. Over and over. Thinking about what I want to say. I want the girl to leave her boyfriend and fall in love with me. The new title is now, Fall for me.
Here is the chorus- So I strum a little louder,
sing a little sweeter,
sing a love song, I wrote for you.
Hope you like it, Hope you love it
Hope it makes you fall for me.
So I read the first verse to see if it still works
You're the girl next door, with a new boyfriend
I fell for you before you fell for him
I sit on my front porch, play my guitar,
as you kiss him goodbye, step outta his car.
I don't like the second line. I fell for you. The song title is Fall for me. Too similar. So I decide to rewrite the first verse. Here is the new first verse.
with the chorus.
You're coming in late from a wild weekend
been kissing in the car with your boyfriend
You're the girl next door, who I love more
So I play my guitar on my front porch.
So I strum a little louder,
sing a little sweeter,
sing a love song, I wrote for you.
Hope you like it , Hope you love it
Hope it makes you fall for me.
It's Friday night, playing down at the bar
almost closing time, I wonder where you are
You come walking in, all by yourself
This songs for you and no one else
so I strum a little louder,
sing a little sweeter,
sing a love song, I wrote for you.
Hope you like it, hope you love it
Hope it makes you fall for me.
What problems do I see now? Okay for one. Now she is on the wild side of life. She's been making out with her boyfriend in the car and I am going to win her over by playing a love song I wrote for her. Not gonna work. So what do I do? I write a second verse and she comes walking into the bar that I am playing at and I get another chance to win her over with my song. I probably should of rewrtten the first verse to work with the new title, Fall for me.But no, I decided to write a bridge. In the bridge the next door girls is singing-
You poured your heart into this song
so I drink it in, I sing along as you
Chorus- Strum a little louder, sing a little sweeter
we sing the love song, you wrote for me.
You know I like it, You know I love it
You know it made me, fall for you.
I kinda liked that idea but didn't like the new first verse. I prefer to keep the chorus the exact same every time it is sung to make it easier to remember and sing. Also, what if I wanted to get a demo of this song. I would need a female singer and this would cost extra. Also, I wasn't thrilled with Fall for me. It says exactly what I wanted it to say, but it was to cliche. It has been said and done before. Remember this- I liked some of these idea but I wan't sold yet. So I kept looking for a better title.
