A Song’s Journey: B’sha’ah Tovah - A Melody Is Developing!
One of my mottos is: “Vocals and arrangements should enhance a melody, not replace it.” Think about it: Is a song good because the singer hit high notes? If every song on the album had high notes, is it a good album? Or is a song good because there’s a cool guitar solo? If that guitar solo was found on a different track, that would likely be your favorite song instead? Is it really that interchangeable? Vocals and arrangements should enhance a melody, not replace it; the vocals and arrangements and other facets of the song are merely contributors and enhancers to a song that was solid in its own right. There’s a big difference.
