Sin City, Jay Bee – The Song Structure

There are some drastic changes in the way Azly Rahman wrote this poem where words are more rhyming but still there are very unstructured. This is cool as this is what chaos is all about. However, it is not so cool as it is a lot difficult that I thought in composing.

I’ve got some ideas on the melodies but then I had this problem where the poem is to be accompanied by different kind of different genres.

Azly Rahman prefers some combinations of genres – Hard rock + Soft rock + Some kind of New York Jazz. So out of what usually done, this time I had to take a very good look at the overall picture of what the piece supposed to be.

I came up with the idea to jump directly to Step 5 where The Song Structure has to come first:

Start
{
Introduction

Part 1 – Piano gothic introduction play
Part 2 – The rock sound with distorted guitar coming in.

Verse 1
Genre: Gothic rock.
Vocal: Fakhri
From: Where have all those memories gone
To: whose middle name is "filthy"

Cross Over
Genre: Gothic rock to Jazz Ballad.
Vocal: Fakhri
From and To: Ohh Jay Bee ... you are a soul that is one with me

Verse 2
Genre: Jazz Ballad
Vocal: Samsara
From: Jay Bee … Sin city … where politics stink
To: where the smell of ganja filled the air like a pissed-on fermented drink
… Ahh Jay Bee … City of Sins

Verse 3
Genre: Soft Rock
Vocal: Samsara/Fakhri
From: Your hunchback of Tanjung Puteri is dead and gone
To: Your economy, like a Segget River , stinks till eternity

Verse 4
Genre: Poem Reading + Jazz Ballad + Additional Background Sound (Optional)
Vocal: Samsara
From: Love is gone … Of the one my heart held on
To: You were once mine … You will no longer be

Ending

}
End

Hope next is to write the preliminary melodies and the chord progressions.
It’s going to be tough.
