End of semester project

End of semester project. Lewis Kamanu Githengi DSE212-19-2021.

MESSAGE OF THE SONG.. The song was written to show what God has done in our lives, we are just trying to be thankful. This is a song all about thanksgiving..

General Mood of the song.. The mood of the song is that I am humbled to be alive each and every moment. The mood of the song is constant throughout the song, I am trying to show what My Lord has done for me..

Chorus or hook of the song.. It does have a chorus but it's more of a chanting chorus. "AMEN" means let it be, I am trying to affirm the will of God in my life..

Song Structure.. The song is structured; The verse Then the chorus Then the last verse Then the hook The last section of the song I leave the instrumental to play to emphasize on the message of the song, one is just left filling in the lyrics on their own..

Target Audience.. The target audience of the song is for the believers in the Christian Faith, just trying to show thanksgiving to our God. The genre of the song is a praise song..

The Voice of the song.. The voice heard is for Kelvin Kasyoki also known as Shule. He assisted me with his voice, but we wrote the song together. I had issues with my voice at the moment. He is a tenor making the song to be more emotional..

Instrumental Arrangement.. The most heard instruments are the percussions and the pad melody. The percussions give the African feeling, trying to keep the song up-tempo. While the melodious pad adds the prayerful vibe to the song. The bass guitar also gives the rhythm..

Song Build-up.. I built the song in such a way one has to be very keen in listening to the verses, I tried to make the verses the main part of the song. We began with very little instruments at the beginning but once the bass guitar joins in it creates a lot more rhythm to the song..
