Tips on Composing a Horror Song

One day, I was in the mood of composing songs, but I have already forgot the rules of cadences which I've learn during my college. I just try an error, by listing the alphabet with all the minor, and diminish chords. Because my music teacher told me before that, minor and diminish chords make you feel discomfort. Here is my own way of creating a horror song. 

1. List Alphabet A to Z with chord of minor, minor 7th, and diminish 7th. As the alphabet increase, the chord also increase by semitnone.

A: C minor
B: C# minor
C: D minor
D: D# minor
E: E minor
F: F minor
G: F# minor
H: G minor
I: G# minor
J: A minor
K: A# minor
L: B minor
M: C minor 7th
N: C# minor 7th
O: D minor 7th
P: D# minor 7th
Q: E minor 7th
R: F minor 7th
S: F# minor 7th
T: G minor 7th
U: G# minor 7th
V: A minor 7th
W: A# minor 7th
X: B minor 7th
Y: C diminish 7th
Z: C# diminish 7th

2. Make a sentence for this Song.
Eg: I Love you, Do you love me?

3. Follow the chart:
I: G# minor
L: B minor
O: D minor 7th
V: A minor 7th
E: E minor
and so on

3. Then Play the chord, each chord for a bar. Then a horror song done.

4. I have made one using Garageband Software, Happy trying!

Book that I read recently

Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude- Author: Napolean Hill & W. Clement Stone

Meet The Most Important Living Person 

You. Your success, health, happiness, wealth depend on how you use your talisman.

Your mind is your invisible talisman. PMA is the right mental attitude for each specific occasion. NMA repels them. Don’t blame God for your lack of success. Every adversity has the seed of a greater benefit. Accept the priceless gift - the joy of work. Apply the greatest value in life: love people and serve them. Like Henry J. Kaiser, you will attract big and generous portion of success. Success is maintained by those who keep trying with PMA.

Own words: When you have problem, you find a solution and you learn from it, when you learn, you earn an experience. You become smarter.

You Can Change Your World

You can change your world, use the PMA side of your invisible talisman. Imprint the 17 success principles indelibly in your memory. If the man is right, his world will be right. When you determine your definite aims, there is a tendency for several

additional success principles to begin to operate automatically. Whatever the mind of  man can conveive and believe, the mind can achieve. The music teacher increased his income when he changed his belief from “it can’t be done” to “it can be done”

Own words: When you change you mind form negative thought to positive thought. A big thing will become small and easy thing.  Don't sweat the small stuff... and it's all small stuff

You Are What You Think 

When you faced with problem that involves a misunderstanding with other persons, you must start with yourself.

One word can caused an argument, develop misunderstanding, generate unhappiness and end in misery. One word with PMA, when compared to the same word with NMA, brings opposite effects. Peace or war, Yes or No, Hate or Love

Own words: Try to think of everybody is yourself. You will love everybody. Or If you want others to hate you, hate others. If you want other to love you, then love others.

Will You Dare To Explore The Power Of  Your Mind?

You are a mind with your body. Your mind have two parts: the conscious and the subconscious. They work together. Day by day in every aspect I am getting better and better. Bill McCall acquired wealth through the use of self-suggestion. You can do it if you believe you can. 

Own words: Subconscious is like your sixth sense, if you dream of something/wish you can get something, and you feel that you can get it. you will automatically make effort to get it everyday but you do not realize.(PMA)

If you dream of something, and you feel that you will not get it, then you will not start doing it, and you will be far away from your dream or goal.(NMA)

So, believe in your dream. Dare to dream.
