How do you get all of your message into one song?
It's a big temptation to try to do.
It's a big temptation to try to do.
After all, your goal is probably more than money as a songwriter.
You're an intelligent person with lots of ideas.
NO one thinks exactly as you. So .... how do you
share all your ideas in your own unique song?

Probably, you can't. But hey, this is good news!
It just means you get to write a 2nd (or etc.) song!

LO AND BEHOLD BLESSINGS Click here for lyrics
I began this gospel style fusion rock song planning to use the following pattern:
Verse 1: This Morning I woke up, Put my feet.... [what happened]
Verse 2: This Afternoon, I .... [what happened]
Verse 3: This Evening, I ..... [what happened]
But what I found was that many things fit into morning activities that could have been perceived as blessings -- too many to fit into a single verse.
And two verses per time period? No, a 6-verse song can annoy listeners...
especially if each time period was followed by a chorus!
So, to avoid being too "busy", I limited this song to only
"THIS MORNING" for each verse.
Afternoon and Evening must wait 'til another day, another song:)
I suggest that you too may want to avoid "BUSY" songs,
to better share the HEART OF YOUR MESSAGE
to your future song listeners.
