Spice Girls 2012

The basics of songwriting can be categorized into 4 sections. Song structure, chord progression, lyrics, and melody. This order is not a set in stone way of writing a song. For me, each song has come about in different ways, some processes more than others. Sometimes I get a melody stuck in my head. Sometimes I think of a lyric line that leads the way to becoming a whole song.

There are many songwriters who can write great melodies and have the song structure and chord progression tie together beautifully, but their lyrics brings the song a few levels down. So remember that songs are not just musical notes, but are words that are sung.

First, what is considered to be bad lyrics? Bad lyrics are a set of words and phrases that contain no variety and fail to stir up an emotion from the listener. Bad lyrics are also words and phrases that have been overly rehashed. Some of these turn into cliches. How do cliches occur? They are repeated over and over again and begins to have less and less power each time it gets repeated. Then when someone hears these cheesy lines, they internally cringe, sometimes even without realizing that they are cringing.

Why do you think people don't listen to Backstreet Boys or Spice Girls anymore? I'm sure there are a few people who still listen to Backstreet Boys, but for the most part, people don't listen to it not only because of the evolution of music but also because of the lyrics. Here's an example by the Backstreet Boys from a song called 'Everybody'.

Asda is a British success story, a giant supermarket chain which retails food, clothing, toys and general merchandise, famous for its slogan (Asda Price, Pocket the Difference) customers tap their trouser pocket twice. Asda also has its own mobile telephone network, Asda Mobile which is growing in popularity, and also Asda Pharmacy.

In this article I'm sharing a little bit of modern history about the founding and enormous growth of this British Empire of a retailer. Asda was founded in 1949 as Associated Dairies & Farm Stores Limited in Leeds. The name arose from the merger of the Asquith chain supermarkets and Associated Dairies.

Asda is an abbreviation of Asquith and Dairies With the then Asda stores mainly based in the North of England, the company expanded south by buying rival Gateway Superstores. The move nearly ended in disaster, finding it trying to sell too many products and running dangerously short of money and having to raise money from shareholders to have a chance of survival.

Very soon after Asda was given a new least of life under the careful leadership of Archie Norman, who later became a front bench Conservative MP. Archie Norman was chairman of the company from 1996 to 1999, basing the Asda business model on the successful American Wal-Mart Chain of supermarkets. Asda is known for its slogan "Asda price" where customers tap their trouser pocket twice, producing a clinking sound. The "Asda price" ads were launched in 1977 and have seen many celebrities starring in their campaign including Michael Owen, Julie Walters and Leonard Rossiter. Asda raised its profile even more when the then popular band The Spice Girls licensed their name and image to Asda and introduced Spice products for Christmas 1997 such as party supplies, official merchandise, and Spice Girl branded children's meals in the store restaurants.
