I got a weird kid. There is no hair on this story, I swear. This just happened this morning
IHOP has unlimited pancakes, so here we go. Mama puts on her headphones (she has been getting into K Movies)
Halfway there, Mercy (listening to Diamonte) asks “Dad, is Paranoid the most famous Black Sabbath song?”
uh…I suppose. “Why?”
Followed by a conversation about riffs and hooks, song structure, how you can build a song on a bass line or a riff, keep up the tempo and as long as the lyrics sound right with the melody it can be very recognizable. And that’s how it can become popular.
You can also come up with a simple riff, start slow, build up and add instruments into a huge solo and outro even if the lyrics make no sense but sound right.
”who did that?”
Siri…..
we got to the parking lot, mama takes off her headphones and says. “Mercy, your listening to Stairway to Heaven?”
”I like the guitar but the lyrics don’t make any sense. They should have gone with Ozzy”
Then we went on to dinosaurs
this kid is weird
