SONGS (and music considerations)

UPDATE: I have learned that we aren't allowed to use copyrighted music in our work, so the purpose of documenting these songs is to reflect my thoughts at the time of writing, as well as provide insight into my own creative vision.

Observations

• Harmonies are good to use

• Major key

• Simple but catchy melody- played first, slightly different second. Sometimes they don’t repeat but are original and catchy on their own.

• Accompanied by minimal background music, tracking or sound effects (and layering?). Think about 2000s music vibes.

• Arpeggios?

• What appeals to me:

  • acapella/human voices

  •  acoustic guitar

  •  electric guitar

  • drums
