After my last rehearsal I made the decision to go in a different direction with my piece. I have decided that after listening to some more songs by more current and modern artists that I will now be composing a modern pop/folk song. I believe this will be easier for me to do and therefore I will produce a song of higher quality. I now need to write new chords and start writing lyrics. I still want to tell a story in my lyrics as I believe I should still incorporate elements of folk into my composition.
I finally decided that I will be playing the song on guitar as this isn't my first instrument so would provide me with a challenge so that I don't find it too easy and don't progress any further as a musician. I also believe that the guitar will help to make the song sound more upbeat and happy, something that I believe I am interested in my sounding like. By only using one instrument in the song I believe that this will help to draw emphasise to the lyrics and the melody of the song, something that is important in folk music. It will also help to make the song sound more raw and stripped back, I enjoy music with this sound and I believe it will be easy listening for an audience and will be easy to interpret.
