Jack Knight Songwriting Academy

Where your word's become art, and your thought's become music

I heard one of Syllabus's tracks and thought it was something I could put one of my lyrics to. I couldn't do a vid of it because I had a lot of parts in my head so I just sung and tracked out my ideas. The MP3 of the song is attached below. It needs a better singer. Anybody, anybody? (:-) I also don't have an intro for it and I thought adding some hip hop to it either at the intro and/or at the bridge would help. Jack, what do you think about the song? how would you structure this song? Everybody's honest critiques, thoughts, pointers, etc is much appreciated. The words are:

Homemade


I am 10 pounds of love

and 5 pounds of sweetness

100% chocolate, honey dipped

Yes I'm your sweet tooth

Now You can't shop around

and find a better offer

cuz what I gave to you

only I can do

there is no other


Hook:

That lovin' you got, it was homemade

That's why you cannot find it when you're away

Homemade, So stop ya looking,

Homemade, stop denying,

Homemade, stop tripping,

Homemade, stop trying

Cuz you can try and find a copycat

But you will find she ain't all of that

(repeat)

Verse 2:

I am tender to the bone

and soaked in sexy

100 % a lady

and 20 % freaky

Stick a fork in this relationship

cuz baby I'm done

this kind of love I gave you

it only comes around once

(hook)

Rap Bridge
Singing Bridge

I am done

I think the verses have an aretha franklin motown feel. they fit the track. the hook part i would work with a little more if you wanted it for commercial release. i love the verses though
Thanks for the feedback. Yes. I'd want it for commercial release (:-) And by working with the hook more, do you mean melody and words? or just the words or the melody? Then I can figure out what to change.

I actually played with the hook more than the verses. The verses came easier. Problem when I was writing/re-writing the hook was the title not sticking out enough and the track is pretty fast so having enough room to include more lines to add more depth was a little difficult.

Maybe someone can re-write the hook? anybody?

Hey, great job! I agere with Jack, verses are splendid. I think the first two lines on the hook are weak. I dig the homemade part... keep doing it!
Great concept! Great verses! Gonna try to see if i can add to it.
thanks for the feedback Pearl.

Jose, I think both versions still say the same thing just you used different words. Try saying something else than what I came up with for the hook. Well but you know what if you can update the language: like find another word for copycat and "all of that" -that might work. Oh and don't change the rhyme pattern.

Actually, the hook I thought was a good idea, structure wise cause that is a fast hook part.....
Overall great song Thedy, like the concept..... of course I HAD TO try and help make the hook better so I pasted below what I came up with..... HOPE IT HELPS, Let me know what you think!!!
Carries same type of melody, didnt record cause stayed with same structure, changed some things though...

Hook Idea for THedy B. "Homemade" IDEA

(Hook)
That lovin' you had, it was homemade
There's no way that you can find it,
In any other place
Homemade, so fresh
Homemade, the best
Homemade, pure love
Homemade, (have a fest) or (gotta have it) <----which ever you guys think fits best!
There are so many of them copycats
But they can't compare to all of this
bet! Post it up and let us read it.

if you need a rap verse at the end i got one..
Oh noooooo, homemade is the title and will be kept. Like let's try and find better words than copycat and "all of that" -whatever new we come up with- those two lines need to rhyme though...

Jose "Tha Songwriter" said:
Saying something else, oh ok..... so "homemade" concept wont be in it at all?.... or with the homemade in it?....

yeah!!! I like that last suggestion! It's too wordy so if we trim the "fat" and just say:

A plate this good, you gotta have
ingredients girl wish they had

then it fits the pattern/meter.

Jose "Tha Songwriter" said:
Ok, got these suggestions for the 2 lines:

Written By:Jose "Tha Songwriter"

Sugg. 1- No one can pass up something like this
Its one of those things no one could resist


Sugg. 2- A plate this good, you gotta have
Ingridients other girls only wish they had
