How to Use Contrast to Strengthen Your Songs

Podcast Show Notes:

Dear Songwriter,

Have you ever been eating something salty and then later had a craving for something sweet? Our ears are the same way. We're drawn to contrast, and including this in your songwriting could be the extra spice that your song needs.

Today, I'm joined again by my colleague, Julie Lavery, a seasoned Nashville-based Artist and professional songwriter. Julie's impressive accomplishments include song placements in Fox's TV show "Monarch," a substantial YouTube following, national tours with Sarah Darling, and viral success with her new song "Stars and Stripes."

Julie and I are exploring three critical areas to use contrast: Melody, Lyrics, and Chord Progressions. By dissecting each element and providing practical examples, we're hoping to show how contrast can breathe life into your songs, making them a truly memorable experience for your listeners.

If you're finding yourself stuck and feeling like your songs need something more, listen in on this episode!
