Alarm clock screaming, I'm already late

Bus pulled off while I'm running through the gate

Boss on the phone saying where you at

Spilled my coffee on my only good hat

Monday! Monday! I'm running free!

Throw the calendar out the window

Monday, Monday, let me go!

Seven hundred emails and a printer jam

Lunch is a sandwich and it's mostly ham

Tips

Emo that hits

From making the demos above.

  • Specific beats general: 'the parking lot after prom', not 'sadness'.

  • Ask for a quiet verse and a loud chorus — dynamics are the genre.

  • 'Earnest' and 'strained' steer the vocal delivery.

  • Midwest emo needs 'twinkly' and 'odd-time' in the prompt.

  • For an acoustic version, drop the tempo and say 'fingerpicked'.
