Writing Lyrics for Film & TV - Song Reviews with Robin Frederick
from TAXI TV · host TAXI Independent A&R
Songwriters sometimes overlook the most obvious “job” that a song is supposed to do – keep listeners engaged! One of the most powerful tools a songwriter can use to accomplish that goal is emotion. For records, the song’s “emotion quotient” keeps listeners from skipping to the next song or station. In the context of Film, TV, and Advertising placements, songs play a critical role in supporting the emotion of the scene! Emotion is communicated by your choice of chords, melodies, rhythms, lyrics, arrangement, and even the vocal’s performance and style of delivery. Want to get feedback on your song’s “emotion quotient” from the best-selling author of Shortcuts to Songwriting for Film & TV and Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting? Please join Robin Frederick and me for an episode that will probably make you say, “Wow, I never would have thought of that!”
