The Art – Task 2

‘Google Guardian What I’m Really Thinking take a look and the stories that have been posted and write a song about one, heavily referencing it.’

I chose The Mountain Guide because I think it relates to me more and I thought it would be good to write about. This week I have sorted out the chord progression I am using for this task as well as writing some lyrics down.

Chord Progression:
E Major

Task 1 Progression – This week I sorted out the structure I am going to use for the BBC Sound of 2015 song and I have decided to use the same structure as ‘Loa’ by ‘Sunset Sons’.

Structure:
– Intro
– Verse 1
– Verse 2
– Chorus
– Bridge
– Chorus
– Outro

The Art – Task 1

‘Begin writing a composition referencing one of the BBC Sound of 2015 artists’

The artist I chose from BBC Sound of 2015 was ‘Sunset Sons’ and the song I chose was ‘Loa’. I used the same strumming pattern and chord changes for the song but I changed the chord progressions by moving them up a semi tone. I did this to make the song fit to my voice rather then coping the song exactly. This week I focused on how I was going to use the chords and get the correct chord progression and strumming pattern before I move on to lyrics and structure.

Chord Progression:
– C# Minor
– B Major
– G  Major
– Ab Major
