Lyrics in Progress

"top secret" is and will not be the title of the song, it's just my - ironic - working title that I chose because the musician I'm writing for would like to keep the lid on this project. With regard to the lyrics he won't succeed as you could tell from my other post  today ;-)

This is the sequel to: top secret - I'm working on yet another song

I have noted the start and end times for the musical parts:

Verse: 0:32 - 1.02

Chorus: 1:02 - 1:20

Verse: 1:20 - 1:50

Chorus: 1:50 - 2:27

[instrumental part]

Chorus: 3:15 - 3.52

Step two:

listening to and analyzing the chorus. You will notice that the first chorus is shorter than the two succeeding ones. I found that the chorus consists of two musical phrases. The first phrase is repeated twice in the first chorus, and four times in the others. Hence I'll write two lines of text for this part that will be sung once in the first chorus, and will be repeated in the other two. These lines will have to stand out most, they will have to make the hook of the song and preferably also its title.

I will begin finding suitable lines of text for the chorus, namely these two first lines I just mentioned. Then go from there. It is always a good idea to begin writing a song from its chorus because this is the part that stands out and conveys the message of the song. You may remmber that I wrote "no war hero" sort of backwards. I wrote the bridge first - that's normally the part that comes last ("top secret" has no bridge, by the way). But I already had a title, and I knew what I wanted to say, I just didn't know which words I would use to say it. Yet as a rule you should write the chorus first, next the verses, at last the bridge - if one is needed.
