PA 4X...As a Songwriting Partner - 03/11/16 10:24 AM
Hey all,
On a Songwriter Forum there were 3 writers working on a song I had suggested they move on from. I basically told them it was what "it was". It was theatrical in nature, and they wanted it Praise & Worship. I couldn't hear it or see it at all....I told them point blank, move onto the next tune. Little did I know I would soon be part of the process and in a co-write.
One writer made a change which made me hear some things. I asked permission to take a stab at the song. I gutted the Chords for practically every part of the song & changed the melody. The Chorus was kind of there, but it needed something. Never written with 3 other writers, let alone people I have never met in person before. I know them only through emails and the Songwriter Forum.
It helps to have my PA 4X as an Arranger partner to get the initial idea down quickly and easily.
Then I can add parts to make it sound more organic....
Lord of Glory, Lord of All
