In my lifelong venture with music, I’ve searched over and over again to figure out what constitutes making a hit song. I always knew what music I liked. I always knew how a certain song made me feel. I even knew how a song could take me back to what I was doing, feeling or where I was, when I first heard a particular song. But the anatomy of a hit song baffled me. How could a few words that rhymed (or not), mixed with musical instruments, create a feeling of euphoria, sadness, anger, rebellion, etc…? Like I said, it baffled me. I’ve always said, “If teachers could teach subjects using music, we would never have problems with essays, exams or even showing up for class”. So what is the formula for creating a hit song? Good question.
