For Aspiring Songwriters
|
(Quote) Hank gave me some pointers one night on writing and singing songs. 'Don't just put down a line because it rhymes. There's always a right line and none better. And when you write and sing a song, write and sing like it was the last one you were ever going to do.' (Source: Country Music Magazine, Feb '74)
Freddie became the master of making a dirty song sound pretty.
Easy Loving,

Easy loving, so sexy looking
I know from the feeling that it comes from the heart
Easy loving, every day's Thanksgiving
To count all my blessings, I wouldn't know where to start
Every time I look you over
So real-to-life it seems
For upon your pretty shoulders
There's a pair of angel wings
Easy loving, seeing's believing
Life with you like living in a beautiful dream...

(Freddie) Write something simple. Something
every man would like to say, and every woman would like to hear.
