MUSIC ANALYSIS: The three most important notes in a phrase are the first note, the high note, and the last note. "Paint rainbows" with the phrase.
LYRIC ANALYSIS: Watch punctuation and capitol letters. Lyricists put capitol letters in the middle of sentences to encourage you to take a breath. "But" is the turning point of a song. With a pronoun, you have to match the verb's emphasis.
In an audition, your first song should show your personality. Save your legit song, it is meant to show you have musicality.
