Songwriting sins

 A continuation from these lyrical sins. I'll continue to update this list as I discover more. First recognized, for the most part, in of my own writing...

  • Complex piano riffs that fill virtually every beat, just because you can play them.
  • emPHAsis on the wrong syLLAble, particularly repeated mis-emphasis.
  • The same groove, song after song after song after song...
