Songs: the good, the bad and the ugly?

Advertisements

So what really makes the difference between a good song, a bad or even an ugly one. The answer to this question is very controversial, it was answered by many songwriters, but no one made it simple so anyone can understand it.

Before we answer this question, let's go back in time and try to identify what's the factor that made you love a specific song for example, try to remember with me if it's the melody, the chords sequence used in it, the simplicity, the complexity, the lyrics, the right songwriting techniques...etc.

I'm sure that everyone of us has a different point, that's because we love songs from our own background, so there are people that like deep songs, others like simple composition, others like complex composition...etc.

But we haven't answered the question yet!!!?that's because there is no exact answer to this, but let me give some hints:

What all of humans have in common with music?

- A good song is the one that uses an honest language.
- A good song is the one that uses a pleasing melody to the ear.
- A good one is that has a very easy and memorable Hook.
- A good song is the one that uses the right songwriting techniques.

These are the most important factors that make great songs, if you have more don't hesitate and comment.
