Fantastic response to last week's assignment and good to see so many old and new faces taking part again. Â Here's this week's assignment:
SSG2 Week 10
So last week I said the title was arguably the most important aspect of a lyric. Well the other side of the argument is it's the chorus. After all the chorus is the only section of the song that gets heard more than once. Â It had better be twice (three, four times) as good then, Â right?
This week's topic: Pick at least two titles submitted last week and write a chorus for each one.
Oh, oh, oh! One more thing - you can't use any of your own titles. I can almost hear that collective groan.
It's a short assignment, so think about the rhythm, word play, hook and matching up with/using the title line.
For ease here's all the titles (if I've missed yours out just let me know)
