what do you look for?

[beem-dog]

What do you look for in a song?

In other words, what qualities must a song posess for it to keep you interested?

[mattmatumbo]

technicality, not using powerchords. good studio production or sometimes lack-there-of. depends.

-A catchy, danceable beat
-Positive lyrics
-No black people in the band
-Songs that implement the verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus method
-No Jews in the band
-Not being concerned about their image
-No women
-All wearing matching outfits
-And they all have to be white, protestant.

Yes, showbread fits all the criteria for my perfect band except for number three.

No he left a while ago, so now they are your perfect band.

[Rissamazing]

I like a song with thoughtful lyrics.

And a lot of bass.

Or a pretty voice.

The lyrics can't be too stupid or moody or distasteful to my mood.

I don't know what I look for in a song.

If I like it, I like it.

If I don't, I don't.

You forgot about
-the sick outro that's needed in the song structure
-drop D tuning
-at least some synth
-at least some screaming

[dancelukedance]

Um.. lets see, in a song i look for
-Good lyrics
-some screaming is desirable (at the moment anyway)
-Heavy parts but not neccasseraily metal
-Don't mind a breakdown **Holds breath**(I know muppets hate breakdowns on this forum)
-Basically in a song there has to be a certain part that draws me in, then from there the track grows on me

[LamarVannoy]

there needs to be a hook that makes me keep going back to the song.

[SKSK]

I look for a true, real song written from deap emotions within the heart. Not something produce purely for profit.... Blessthefall's Hirginia is a classic example of a "real" song.

blessthefall writes real deap lyrics.

[Klatzke]

Depends what I'm listening to.

If it's metalcore/post hardcore I like unpredictability and technicality. If it's pop, I'll go for catchiness and great vocals.

[ZeroGravity107]

It honestly all depends on the day.

I usually prefer something more upbeat and catchy and focus less on the quality of the lyrics. It's the sound as a whole that gets me.

But I also prefer deeper lyrics and more intense meanings.


Then sometimes, I'll listen to some shit rap and get drunk.


Like I said, all depends on the day.

[boykosaurus]

Anything that gets me goin' or helps me chill. Goosebumps are key too.

Something that pleases my ears.

[MishelleMakeout]

It depends on my moo.
Sometimes I like nothing but screaming and ' hardcore ' shit.
Others I'm just not in the mood and I would rather listen to bands like the Dropout Year or All Time Low.
I honestly dont know what catches my attention in a song tho.
Probabley the vocals first tho.
I like bands with kind of high voiced singers.

Maybe if you would let me "spice up" things in ways that don't just involve shooting it in unconventional holes, we wouldn't be having this problem, and no, I don't think integrating that dead body by the dock I saw on my way to work the other day into our sex life is gross and also, Thom Yorke or something.

Your name is spelt with a C not an S. Change that.

Actually no. On my birth certificate it is with an S not a C. Everyone says I spell my name wrong. Blame my parents.

[MishelleMakeout]

I bet they regret failing English now.

Again you're wrong. My parents were really good in school. You can spell names a couple different ways. And who wants a name spelt like everyone else ?

This is the transgressive movie that made the director an outlaw in his native country. Yeah, I saw it once...supposedly, it's a commentary on society, but a sloppy, hilarious, kitschy one.

...

In fact, social commentary in art should, from this point forward, always include men who bathe in a house cat's blood.

[kearn1tm]

And who wants a name spelt like everyone else ?

I do. If you spelled Todd abstractly, like, say "A-S-S-H-O-L-E [TAH-HODAH...the "T" in the front is implied]," it could lead to much confusion and hurtful name-calling.

[zander yosha]

wat are you even talken bout

Dog you're dumb. You can spell terrie and Terry. Sean and Shawn. They all are the same names spelt differently. Devon devin devynn. They are all the same name.

[IWasaCamera]

Yeah, dog.

[lew_1987]

wat are you even talken bout

Hahahahaha.

[secretsociety92]

Good melody
Catchy rhythm
Catchy Lyrics
Preferably a guitar solo in it but not essential, doesn't need a guitar in it all the time either
same with a saxophone if there is one it is enough.
Solid vocals

[theguy77]

1) sounds good (catchy, emotional, creatively interesting, whatever)
2) at least some attempt is made for proper lyrics, usually they at least need to have a distinct character, if not written in 2 or 3 dimensions

[kearn1tm]

Dog you're dumb. You can spell terrie and Terry. Sean and Shawn. They all are the same names spelt differently. Devon devin devynn. They are all the same name.

Well then...I'm glad you told me.

[MishelleMakeout]

Why the hell do you care about how my name is spelt anyways.

[RamInGoreville]

I look for three things.

1) Creativity
2) Lyrics
3) Catchiness

And if the song is about something I can relate to, that's a plus.
