Why don’t you try lengthening them over the notes in the melody, like- Bass li-ine… And then at the end, you could do- Ste-ady. Tara: Bass line, put your arms around me, keep that good time, keep it strong, keep it steady…īen: The words are great.
Tara: I’m struggling with the next bit though. Tara: Won't you lay me down a simple beat. Lets try and simplify it?īen: Drummer boy with your one, two, three… You start playing now a simple beat… I think there’s too many words for the melody at the start. Drummer boy, count us in with your one, two, three. Doesn’t quite rhyme with three, but works really well. That doesn’t quite work.īen: You start playing now… A simple beat… What kind of rhymes with three? Tree, free… You start playing now… And then I’m stuck.īen: One, two, three.
Tara: Well, for the opening I’ve got… Drummer boy, count us in with your one, two, three. I’m trying to use words associated with music and sound, so I started by introducing all of the instruments that we play in the first verse.īen: I like the idea. I took the title of the song that we decided on, 'The Sound of Us', and I ran with it.
