HOW WE WROTE A SONG

Today, we are writing a song. we are not really good at it but at least Buddy and i gave it an effort. This is probably one of the hardest thing i have ever done. It took us days just to come up with something to build on and this is the process we followed. 

HOW WE WROTE A SONG 

Title and Theme

Unlike most of our stories, we had to come up with the title first. The main idea was to tame our thoughts and narrow our lyrical ideology towards the title. Coming up with the title will enable us to have a clear vision on our theme(s). Therefore, our theme(s) will be rooted to the title. After brainstorming for a while, Buddy and i settled on "Heartcake". The reason why we settled for that title is because we are not going to put heartcake on the song. We thought about playing with the words. Its more of a heartbreak song but we felt like putting on cake instead of break to put something bittersweet.

 The genre of our song is melancholic indie pop. Buddy calls it melancholia which he explains it as a genre that evokes a sense of sadness and introspection. At this point, you can know narrow down the theme(s) of our song. We delved into the world of heartbreaks and desire. 

 Song Structure 

We decided to start with a verse, bridge then chorus. Just the three stanzas. Again it took us an eternity to write to come up with words. 

About 

Basically, heartbreaks aren't easy to deal with especially when you have an underlying mental health issue. Buddy doesn't really open up at all but he knows how to manage or be at peace. Sometimes we play video games, take a walk, eat and now, we tried to make a song. He was going through a series of emotions; failure, grieve, heartbroken.

So Ladies and gentlemen; 

"Heartcake"

VERSE

if heaven wont pay for my dues 

will i be faithful

ill let go of my claim on you 

And i hope my heart wont fade 

i am happy about yesterday 

And i am happy for you 

If i fall let it be by grace 

let the scars on my arms witness fate

Pre-Chorus

you left the door closed 

you chose to let go

i hope the rain will stop

i hope i don't loose my mind 

but if i do, do, do....

Chorus

i'll have lost all faith in you 

loving you was everything 

you chose to leave 

when you were my everything 

I told you i love you 

and i said it with flowers
