How I write a Christian Song (With Video)

Intro to the intro

Here is part 2 I had to break up this video into segments to let WordPress let me put my videos on my blog.

Here is the entire song because of technical difficulties. But I digress, the explanation for the rest of it is underneath it.

Hey everyone! So today, This is sort of an intro video to my blog. However, it’s also a lesson.

The reason why I’m having this is because honestly the Lord has blessed my hands and this blog with work.

And the Lord has honestly done so much in my life over these past few years that I cannot complain and I’m so happy right now.

I have been wanting to do this for a long time now.

But just recently I got the resources I needed in order to actually come out with a 20 minute video.

What happens is that on WordPress.com, there are certain plans that are needed in order to come out with long form video content.

And even though there is a workaround for that. I.E. I could upload my videos on YouTube and link to it on my blog.

I still prefer having straight video uploads to my blog.

I thought it would look so professional to have my own videos on my blog and I also thought that it would be more fun.

What’s talked about in this video?

I talk about my songwriting process.

Well let me be specific. I walk you through one specific way that I would write a song.

I know a lot of you probably haven’t seen my Facebook so let me kind of guide you what’s going through my mind.

The first verse that I made was trying to make it three notes long. The reason for that is because a powerful hook is three notes long. And I have learned from this show called Songland that you are supposed to write every line like it’s a hook and save your best hooks for the chorus.

3 note hooks are super powerful. But I messed around with it a little more and I proceeded with a little more notes than 3 notes.

Then I went into a pre-chorus

Now a general rule of thumb when you are making a pre-chorus, is to go slightly higher in the scale that you are in and sing in that small range.

So say for example if I am singing the notes G, A, and B for the verse. Then, I would sing C, D, or E for the prechorus. Which would leave the octave notes for the chorus.

Pro tip. Start low in the scale and end high in the chorus. Which is what I did here

Edit*** I’m sorry guys, I’m having trouble uploading my videos to my site, but don’t worry I fixed it. I have to break it down in a few chunks.

Anyways, the video at the top is the song already completed. Here is me explaining myself
