Chorus

Bridge

Solo

Verse 2

The things highlighted in yellow are complete but I want to work on them more.

Improv with gospel to end - I am still experimenting with different effects for this section as well as the organ at the start. I thought I could:

 Change the chorus so you have the normal chorus layered with "no wars" and "I know what's coming for me". I feel that I can do this since the piano line is the same so it is easy for me to time singing one over the other. I am going  to try different combinations to make an interesting effect at the end. Originally I wanted a round however I don't think this would work since the chords I have chosen only have 'f' in common and Mr Mcgibbon tells me this is rather difficult to achieve. I think it would be better to focus my efforts elsewhere.

An effect I found that I like is:  acoustica chorus accapella duet

I also re-arranged my song so that in the chorus the tempo is faster which makes the sound more upbeat. This meant that I had to remove some of the percussion and drums however I think this means that the sections with mainly vocals are not overpowered. I could add bass guitar and organ into some parts but in other parts where I wanted it for consistency it simply would not fit in because of the tempo changes.

Another note is the length of my song, a typical song is around 3 minutes and mine is only half of this even with a solo and bridge. This may be because I made the tempo faster for the chorus however this shouldn't have made much of a difference. If I were to recreate it I would probably add in a few more verses as these are rather short, and I would have put in a guitar solo.

I also actually added in my sister to the chorus as the effects on Mixcraft are no where near as good as the sound that  two voices can produce harmonizing together.

The difficult part is where I put the organ, it is changing chords fairly fast and although I've tried singing something over them I'm not sure how good it sounds, I can't fit in any words though. This may have been a mistake to put in this part without deciding what was going to go there first.
