itp: SONGWRITING!!

[goldstarring]

[if you happen to be in or are passing the studio today, you might hear the artistic plinking of piano keys flowing from an open window. It's very artistic! But it is still plinking and plunking, for now. If you were to investigate, you may in fact hear this extremely intellectual question

Once it's become a tagline for a soft drink, it's definitely overdone.

[goldstarring]

Even if both words are at the end of a line ... ? Because it's so hard to think of things that rhyme with yellow.

[boldstarring]

It's expected because of the tagline. With music, you want to zag when people expect you to zig - unless you're writing for Britney Spears, of course. "Fellow"?

[goldstarring]

It's either that or "bellow" ... which. Honestly, I don't think even I can pull off singing the word "bellow".

[boldstarring]

It would depend on the context ...

[goldstarring]

Can you think of a single decent songwriting context for that word?

[boldstarring]

A dirge, perhaps.

[- giggles.]

Well, I'm definitely not trying to write one of those.

[boldstarring]

I'd hope not.

[giggles die away to glaring at Santana.]

And now the creative vibe in the room has died a death.

[reaches over, resting a hand on her arm.]

Ignore her. The attention is what she wants.

[goldstarring]

She's a horrible girl.

[boldstarring]

She's not even worth the breath of air it would take to correct her ridiculous misconceptions, Rachel. Don't even give her the time of day.

[boldstarring]

What?

[goldstarring]

I. She. I thought she knew. She said -

I've made a terrible mistake.
