stuck for title on ac ballad
hi.
can't come up with a title for this one no matter how hard i try:
https://soundcloud.com/melodymessiah/st ... al-version
i'd like the title to be on the first four (ascending) notes at the beginning of the chorus (at 0:57),
trying to avoid cliches like "stay in my dreams", "don't leave me now", "i love you more" and so on. don't even have to be a love ballad, i'm open to any suggestions.
i don't feel that the (working) title i've used here flows well enough with the melody, i'm just as much concerned about the sound as the meaning of the words/lines.
hard to start writing the lyrics without a title, hope someone can help;-)

Re: stuck for title on ac ballad
fwiw: How about writing a story-line around "Everytime I Sigh" ?
tell us about it... who/what/why?... and what are you gonna do about it now?
hth, Cheers,
Peter

Re: stuck for title on ac ballad
I think that to fit this melody, you should go for 5 syllables with a strong emphasis on the 4th syllable.
"I've Got a Feeling" (I've got a feeling this is love, etc.)
"Give Me a Reason" (Why can't we try to work it out?)
"If I Could Tell You" (How I feel...)
"I've Got a Feeling" (I've got a feeling this is love, etc.)
"Give Me a Reason" (Why can't we try to work it out?)
"If I Could Tell You" (How I feel...)

Re: stuck for title on ac ballad
thanks to you too maya. it's not that it wouldn't work with 5 syllables, but i was thinking of holding the fourth note in an ascending phrasing, with one word. but that might be just a matter of taste:-)

Re: stuck for title on ac ballad
I totally agree that it should be in ascending phrasing with one word! But I think that one WORD could have two syllables and it would work really well.
