March was lonely.
April is sort of the opposite.
Write a song of celebration. I don't care what you want to celebrate (Spring, love, coffee), but joy should come through.
Pure, unadulterated joy.
Some examples:
"Shout!" - who did this? I know the one from Animal House.
"Celebrate" - Kool & The Gang? A staple at weddings, for good reason.
Beethoven's "Ode To Joy" is pretty fuckin' badass, too.
Pay attention to tempo & beat. It's critical here.
The proper reactions to the tempo should be smiles & dancing.
If you've got that the rest can almost write itself.
Joy, happiness, celebrations.
Happy April.
