Great point made! Never really realized that importance before! Also, kudos to the girl for being willing to be critiqued like that and taking it like a champ.
That's a really good point. Rather than singers, I hear guitarists play like that all the time, they don't reserve any phrasing or dynamics and everything coalesces in a way that becomes drone-like over time. When you try to explain this to someone they usually get really defensive about it and accuse you of this or that, but its their playing that suffers in the end.
As an experienced songwriter, I find this simple instruction profound... it takes you to another view that's so easy to overlook... and yet could make all the difference in the world in saying what you want your listener to hear... Mike Gibbowr
That lesson was a lot better than I thought it would be. At first I thought he was just being overly critical but he was right. It really helped the words. Excellent!
Hey guys, thanks for the lesson! I'm composing some songs and those strategies are already helping me to write the lyrics and compose the vocal melodies. Thanks for helping me! Best regards, Osanan Anthony
God this was so helpful. I feel hopeful again (I just spent a week arranging and producing and the lyrics just wouldn’t fit and I was about to shatter)
There is a marked difference between the two versions. I notice that, in addition to the dynamic difference, there is a rhythmic change between them as well. It seems like the change in rhythm causes the de-emphasis of "to" more than the dynamics. I wonder if she can get a similar effect without sacrificing the original.

Genius
"Now, uh....sing it in the, er....the "sucky" way" I need this teacher ^^
you're sacrificing the internal rhyme though, it sounds better the first way even though the lyrical meaning is overshadowed
I think its not sacrificed, it will still be there, rymes dont have to sound the same in terms of stress
