dear diary,
i made a mistake in the numbering of the previous song i sent you. it
should have been song # 15, instead of song #14 as indicated in my
email. i won't be revising this next song anymore because i know when i
wrote the lyrics for this song i already had a melody for it, just like
all the other songs that i have writen.
if i revise it like i did with some of the songs i've just sent you,
then i will have to find a new melody for it. i can do this in two ways.
one way would require me to count the number of words and syllables in
the first verse and follow that number in writing the lyrics for the
other verses. in that way, i will have to find only one new melody that
will apply to all the verses, except for the chorus for which i need to
find a new melody too. this is how i rewrote song# B7.
the second way, which i followed in the other songs i rewrote, will
require me to find as many new melodies as there are verses in the song
as rewritten, this is because there is very little chance that the
number of words and syllables in one verse would be the same as in the
other verses. but maybe the change in the melody will only be very
slight.
title - fall in love with me
written- no recorded date : 1989-1993
melody/lyrics - lolo bomboy
group B, song B16
fall in love with me
fall in love, fall in love wih me
you'll be driving me crazy
till you fall in love with me
fall in love, fall in love,
fall in love with me
nothing will be sweeter
than to hear you say
you'll fall in love with me
fall in love, fall in love
fall in love with me
you'll be driving me crazy
till you fall in love wih me
i can wait till forever
till the stars from the sky
should fall
just don't say you will never
fall in love with me at all
until then i will never
fall in love with someone else
until then i'll be waiting
i don't know how this will end
fall in love, fall in love
fall in love with me
you'll be driving me crazy
till you fall in love with me
so i guess this song will do for whatever it may be worth. it must have
been one of the exercises i did in our attempt to learn how to write the
melody of a song and the lyrics for it.
it may have been just like one of those writing exercises students in an
english class do. the teacher requires them to write an essay, a poem,
an oration or any other composition on any subject the teacher assigns
or the students choose by themselves.
like i told ka art p. madulid when we started all this, to learn to
write songs, one must learn by writing songs and not by reading books on
how to write them.
this in fact is the very reason why i also wrote all the others songs
that i have written. i just wanted to learn how to write them.
