We talked about:
- Using a phrase that doesn’t necessarily make sense but makes a catchy hook
- Playing with time signatures
- See if you can remove words to make your lines scan better without losing any meaning
Paul Gallagher shared his song I like When It Snows in A Lydian. Download the lyrics and chords to follow along.
We talked about:
- Making sure you emphasize the intervals that define the mode you’re working in
- Sometimes it can be ambiguous which mode you’re working in

We talked about:
- Another song with time signature changes!
