When I'm Gone

Cover of the Beatles "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".  

While My Guitar Gently Weeps [2009]

Songs composed for my Berklee "Writing Hit Songs" class back in 2016 (https://online.berklee.edu/courses/songwriting-writing-hit-songs).  None of these are full songs except my reimagining of "Walk Away From Love" (Ruffin/1975).  Each of these was written and recorded in a one-week timeframe i.e., pretty quick and not much time for refinement.  Someday I may come back and build these out more...

Week 1 : Writing a Chorus : Chorus from "Walk Away From Love"
	- full song below

Week 2 : Writing a Verse : Verse from "Time Stands Still"
	- full song below

Week 3 : Writing a Bridge : "Time Stands Still" with helpful BG VOX from Clover!
	- goal was to create contrasting verse, chorus, bridge sections

Week 4 : Standard Chorus Types : "Losing Myself"
	- another exercise in contrasting verse from chorus

Week 5 : Chorus Variations : "Take Me Down"
	- repetition, repetition, repetition...

Week 6 : Verse Variations : "Time And Again" (Daniels/???)
	- Lyrics from Eddie Daniels : https://songwritersofnewyork.com/eddie_daniels.html
	- not sure what variations I used here, but some creative chords can be heard

Week 7 : Modulation : "I Want More"
	- Chorus is in a different key than the verse, yay!

Week 8 : Pre-Chorus : "Not My Girlfriend"
	- Pre-chorus in a song about a vampire!

Week 9 : Another V-PC-C Song : "Walk Away From Love" (Ruffin/1975)
	- I had never heard an R&B song about breaking up before!
	- Also demonstrates the length of intro I like - get to the damn song!

Week 10 : Verse Refrain / Instrumental Hook : "Turn It To 11"
	- We hear the title in the chorus, yay (Refrain)
	- Guitar line after chorus (Instrumental Hook)

Week 11 : Complete AABA Song : "Time Will Make Things Better"
	- Yikes, more than one verse???

Week 12 : Complete Song : "Climbing"
	- Snare drum solo!
