SONG INTROS?

As a songwriter, the intro needs to grab the listeners attention. However, you don't always need an intro e.g:

  • 'Hey Jude'-THE BEATLES
  • 'Royals'-LORDE
Both those songs start with vocals. A solo vocal can be a very powerful instrument as'A an intro

Other songs can start with the chord sequence from the Chorus. e.g:

  • 'Tonight'-LAW (When i wrote this song i came up with the chorus chord sequence first. I think that chord sequence was always going to be the intro as well. Hear the song in the video below)


  • 'All About That Bass'- MEGHAN TRAINOR
  • 'Build me up Buttercup'-THE FOUNDATIONS
  • 'Dancing Queen'-ABBA
  • 'Get The Party Started'-PINK
Also a song can start with a guitar intro e.g:

  • 'Day Tripper'- THE BEATLES
  • 'Enter Sandman'- METALLICA
  • 'Some on the Water'- DEEP PURPLE
  • 'Layla'- ERIC CLAPTON
Their  are quite a few songs that have a really good intro.

What are your favourite songs intros?

Here's a few of mine:


  • 'Brothers in Arms'-DIRE STRAITS
  • 'Devotion 2000'-D*NOTE
  • 'Gravity of Love'- ENIGMA

    • Until next time

    FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: JELLY CLEAVER

    Hi! Everyone, this week's FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK is the very talented  singer-songwriter, musician  & producer JELLY CLEAVER JELLY CLEAVER Please introduce yourself I’m a singer-songwriter, jazz guitarist and producer. I’m also an activist and this really influences my music and the lyrics I write. I love lots of different genres so have quite an eclectic style and like to throw myself into different music scenes. I’m really into the jazz scene and the punk/DIY scene in London at the moment.   How did you get into music?

    GRANDE ARTIST?

    ARIANA GRANDE is no stranger to the charts. Recently ARIANA managed to get the top 1, 2 & 3 spots on the billboard top 100 charts simultaneously. The last time this happened was in 1964 by THE BEATLES who got all 5 top spots. At the moment 11 songs from her album 'Thank you, Next' album are in the top 40. (The only song from the album that hasn't made the top 40 is 'Make up'). DRAKE nearly managed this when 2 of his songs were at spots 1 & 2 & 4 simultaneously. That is a great achievement for ARIANA Until Next Time Law OFFICIAL WEBSITE LW MUSIC SERVICES  (Mixing & Mastering) TWITTER FACEBOOK (Law) FACEBOOK  (LW Music Services) FACEBOOK (The Solar project) YOUTUBE
