for my EP i am thinking about creating four songs, and maybe record 2 songs with my own lyrics. for the first week preparing for this i will think of some lyrics. After this i will come together with somebody else in my class and play around with the piano and come up with some chords that will go nice with the lyrics i have wrote. for the first song on my EP i would kind-of like to just be a soft intro, to then lead to the next song which will be a bit more upbeat. first i need to think what my lyrics are going to be about.
week 1
After the first week i have come up with a few lyrics for an original song, however i haven’t finished it like i planned to, realising that coming up with lyrics are actually much harder than i thought. even though its been hard i have had help from my brother because he used to write songs quite a lot, so he has been helping me quite a bit with this. i think i’m going to carry on with this for another week so its going to take a lot longer than planned but i still hope to complete it in 3 more weeks. after this week im hoping that i will have more material to work with and then potentially join up with someone to help me with the music. for this i need to improve my confidence as i get really nervous when it comes to sharing my music, so i will need to perform with people a few times before i have the confidence to share my own lyrics.
10th January 2019
this week as it is after the Christmas half term we are now looking at working on making our EP, I have wrote a song called “crossed the line” for my EP, I have finished the lyrics and have also now got the music for it too. Next I am looking to record it for my EP and hopefully continue to write more songs for this instead of covers as I think it will show that I take songwriting seriously and want to continue to write music. After the performance at the Jolly Farmer before Christmas, I have gained a lot more confidence as I performed in front of people so even though I am still nervous about performing, I know I can do it now, however I know it will be scary recording my own music for my EP as that means I will need to share it with other people.
