First Recordings: You Suck Bridge
Added 2025-09-19 15:00:17 +0000 UTCYet another peek into my various songwriting strategies ๐
I actually recorded this same first few lines of the chorus three separate times because it started out with just lyrics and melody, so I recorded that, then I added chords and recorded that, and then I recorded this one with just a continuation of the chords and an arbitrarily vocalized melody to connect it back to the chorus. Ultimately, I think that whole process is the most common for me in my song writing...except that I often don't think to record the random vocalising ๐ I really need to work on that.
I think it's interesting that I had a little bit more dynamic variation in the original melody for this bridge than I ended up with in the final song! I think for the general vibe of the song, the melody I landed on in the end feels more in-line, but I can also see how I might have initially thought it would be boring for me ๐ I am very glad I ended up ending it the same way as the verses, though...that psych out is very fun ๐
