Unofficial Famcraft Theme Song

<< < (2/2)

mathfreak2:
I love the in-line rhymes and the awareness of the number of syllables in each line. The number of lines in each stanza is consistent, too. I love all of it! Just one suggestion: most songs have a chorus; maybe what you could do next is write a chorus and put it in between every stanza. I absolutely love it!

Thanx all :D

The original song uses the approach where the part that sounds like a chorus has different words each time. I don't know if it still counts as a chorus. The meter and music change several times in the song, but in a repeating and related way, so it's almost more like a piece of classical music with a complicated construction even though it's a short, upbeat pop song.

When I riff off a song, steal the music and write new lyrics like this, I also try to keep some of the same word sounds and word relations, so the lyrics sound similar to the original, even when my parody/homage is about something totally different. (Like I rewrote Billy Joel's love song  "For the Longest Time" so it's about waiting in traffic on the freeway).

In this case the song is closer to the original: it's all about an exciting and wonderful place! Thanks all for making it so great there!

:D
