Great stuff troup. Im a really big fan of yours. Keep up the great work. You have a ton of wisdom that I one day hope to be at the level of.
Keep pushing out the great music and much success to you and your artists.
Thank you, I really appreciate the words!
On the other hand, Ive just been studying my music theory a bit more. I can tell my lack of knowledge in it is hindering me a bit. Its getting harder and harder for me to come up with original melodies. I think a month of vigorious music theory studying will help that.
I wish you all luck and success on your current projects and tasks.
One month? Uhh, takes a little longer than a month! You need to ingest as much music as possible. Stop spending so much time studying music theory. That's not gonna teach you what a good melody sounds like. You need to listen to good melodies to learn what good melodies sound like. So immerse yourself in great music with great melodies. Let it play in your headphones over and over and over and over again...over YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.
But as far as the music theory goes...let me help you. Download this app for your smart phone...
Tells you every chord for every key. When you press on one of the blocks, it lets you hear the sound of the chord...in piano or guitar.
What the area inside the bold lines says that the Key you chose is C Major. The chords in the key of C are:
C major, D minor, E minor, F major, G major, A minor, and B minor.
So you just play whatever sequence sounds like a good melody to you, and then write down what the chords are. Then you go to some place like this to figure out how to play those chords on the piano, so you can lay out your other instruments...
Piano Chord Chart
So now you never have to try to figure out what chords go in the key of your song.
Thank Me Later.

If im gonna be honest... this sounds unprofessional. Just wasn't executed well. From the song itself, instrumentation, drums, vocal and mix. Just doesn't stand up to whats out there at the moment. Sounds very amateur! Sorry just being real.
I expect nothing less of you.
