Hot Bodies In Motion, “All Night” | Pt. 1 - Verse
I thought it might be fun to do a little songwriting analysis on something I've written with my band, Hot Bodies in Motion.
We'll discuss the general arrangement and tonality of the song, and then dig into the melody, bass line, and guitar parts. Specifically, we'll focus on how they interact with the chord progression and each other. These lessons are designed to give you some insight into my approach to songwriting, and hopefully inspire you to take part in more community challengesand writing exercises.
You can listen to the song by watching the music video here but don't share it with anyone yet! The song (and video) will officially release on January 13th.
If you want to practice ear training, see if you can figure out all the parts yourself before watching the videos!
This song started out as a loose groove/idea I came up with sometime toward the end of 2017 or beginning of 2018. I gave it to my friend and bandmate, Ben. He started writing lyrics and we finished writing the song sometime in 2019. We filmed the music video around Christmas 2021.
Let me know if you enjoy this format! I've been thinking it's time to do some more song analysis
