I don't think you can get much more cliche than that, all that is missing is the "yay" and "twenty percent cooler" samples. All jokes aside, in the little bit of the song writing course I took, I learned that when writing vocals, think about what you want the theme to be. For you, it's obviously Dash losing loyalty. Then, take three boxes, like so:Jokeblue wrote:Lyrically for my song im kind of conflicted, It was originally intended to be about RD failing to stay true to the virtue of Loyalty after some event for example lets say joining the shadowbolts, discords tricks, or some darkish future situation like fallout equestria. But now it's starting to seem more like Sonic Rainboom with Rarity falling to her death just outside of everyones reach till good ol RD saves the day. Wat do?
and split the theme up into three parts. Perhaps the first part will be Dash joining the shadow bolts, the second part Dash starting to lose loyalty with friends, the third Dash regretting her decision. Put the first idea into the first box, etc. Then just write four lines explaining the first idea:
On the day of wonder
My dreams set all a flutter
As I wore the dark suit so proudly
And shouted the shadowbolts so loudly
These lyrics are of course crap, but you get the idea. And then inbetween each box, where the arrow is, is where the chorus goes. And that's simply how to write vocals.
OMG POLKA PLOT!!!
