What makes a really awesome rock/pop song?
A really awesome song is hard to come by these days. The song has to pass the test of time, meaning that it is still played after many years. Some of the things that make a good song are that: it has to have good lyrics that can't be too repetitive, it has to have a cool tune, and the singer has to have a good voice and sing well. When a song passes all these requirements there's a good song.
In a good song, the lyrics need to have a purpose of some sort, for example it could be a story or a poem, not just some dumb phrases in which the singer is whining about his life, which is exactly what happens in Welcome To My Life by Simple Plan. Another aspect of the lyrics, is that they can't be so repetitive saying the same thing over and over. When a song is so repetitive, if you hear it more than five times in a week you hate it. An example of this is boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Greenday, it ruined a song that could have been awesome.
The tune can also be too repetitive, it can be repetitive to a degree, and be fine, but it has to develop and change a little each time it repeats its self. The tune is what makes words into a song so it has to be good. It should have an interesting melody that has harmony and good dynamic change. The tune is also very important to carry the mood of the song to the listener.
A good singer is one of the things that you absolutely need to have. A song can change in rating from awesome to poor depending on the singer. The singer needs to be right on pitch or the listener will cringe at the sound. A good voice is very important for the listener to even start listening to the song, and keep liking it. The voice could make or brake the song.
So to put it all together, to have an awesome song, the lyrics and the tune separately, should be interesting before they are put together. A person should like each separately, and then when put together, the song becomes an awesome master piece.
