Here are the building blocks that led to the final version of the song

Using the drums as a click track to aid composition. The outline of the song is written on the bass guitar

Adding keyboards for extra dimension to the structure and to help determine whether the individual sections are working

Introduce more rhythms to help accentuate the change and definition between sections in the song

The original vocal performance. PLEASE NOTE there is silence between the vocals

Placing vocal components within the musical track, ensuring they sound as natural as possible

Using other instruments to add more dynamics to the tracks now that a vocal pattern has been established

Perform a final edit to ensure song dynamics are accentuated, with overall performance sounding as tight as possible

Here are the lyrics for “Hang Low” (written by Ashes & Dreams)

It’s an old schoolyard trick

Standing with your back against the brick

With the roving-eye

To watch the rocks and sticks

Hang low

Hang low

The ice will melt soon

Caterpillar spring from their cocoon

Trees filling in the air

They’re going to get a chance to bloom

Hang low

Hang low

Hang low

Hang low

The ice will melt soon

The ice will melt soon, soon, soon

It’s ok to hibernate

And work on your tune

Hang low (repeat)
