Study Dr Dog lyrics and come up with whatever you think would be a good way to sing them. Once you get it how you like it listen to the song. Is your version better? Of course it is, congrats, you now know how to handle the situation and I am not sure if you are interested in the position of the position and the company will be able come w a few of my friends and friends who owned it or what you want me for a while now but it looks good on it popping up with a few things and it seems like you have a lot of time to get to work you little bitch.

It'll be easier if you learn theory

>>70240874
you just have to git gud at song composition

>>70240896
This sounds like bullshit but it's true. Get an instrument and make a bunch of random melodies at will, then choose whatever you like and build off of that.

Never enter the writing process with a plan; never sit in a quiet room and try to THINK of a melody to play on an instrument. Just fuck around and eventually something will come out.

if you wanna say "i didnt work i didnt learn" then fine but i did work and i did learn. im not at the level i want to be yet and im far from it but i did hard work and i did learn.

>>70241023
this is false
you could study composition for decades and still write shitty melodies

>>70240874
get creative

>>70240921

> wake up
> turn on/uncover whatever you use to compose
> grind the fuck off that shit
> do an occasional break to eat/take a piss or a dump/sleep
> stop until you have something acceptable

>>70240874
name?

>>70241026
> always do this strat when composing

"You're limiting yourself, anon" said and accepted by everybody

> never do this strat
>Literally the "always do this strat instead, anon"...

Said by any respectable composer at some point during his/her peak moment

Conclusion: nobody knows what the fuck they're talking about. Everybody agrees on the "work your fucking ass off" though, so there's that at least

Don't worry about writing a technical or complex melody and don't be afraid to make mistakes. Also singing or humming til you get something can work pretty well

>>70240874
I asked Daryl from Glassjaw/Head Automatica and he told me "Smoke weed then hum the melody that comes to you."

>you will never write a melody this good

>>70242791
I don't like the way you keep playing the low notes or the rhythym. It sounds like a phone turns off sound.

I was high for this and playing too fast.

>>70250254
This isn't impressive. Now Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai? That is an actually impressive melody.
