Episode Summary: In this episode, songwriter and teacher Connor Frost dives into two key songwriting decisions he made for his single Sit and Wait. Reflecting on post-release insights, Connor discusses the techniques that shaped the song and how you can apply them to your own songwriting.
Key Takeaways: 🎵 Melody Replacement: Connor removed a vocal melody in the second post-chorus and replaced it with a violin to give the instrument its moment and allow the listener to process the song’s storyline. 🎶 Harmony to Melody Transformation: He transformed a background harmony into a main melody later in the song, using a technique of musical foreshadowing to build anticipation and enhance the emotional impact.
