Endgame (Lyric Video) by Keenan Smits

Hi Kennan thanks for the submission. Solid song here for sure and really strong voice. I do have one game changing (I think) piece of advice. I think this song (and if I were to guess maybe some of your other songs) could really benefit from having a "2nd melody" going on. What's that? Well it's basically the "riff" of the song that's copyrightable i.e. a guitar part, riff, a synth figure, a signature bassline - a combination of that. So instead of having "hook melody + chords" you have "hook melody + hook melody" - essentially keep the harmonic structure - but instead of chords - have a 2nd melody structure that outlines the chords. I wrote a whole article on it here - all the hits (for the most part) has this going for them. Hope it's helpful! https://www.benjamingroff.com/blog/2nd-melodies-aka-the-riff
