Alright, so the other day I was humming along to “Kingdom,” you know, Cody Rhodes’ theme song, and I thought, “I really wanna nail these lyrics.” So, I decided to really dig in and learn them properly. Here’s how it went down.
First Step: Finding the Lyrics
First things first, I needed the actual lyrics. I didn’t want some half-baked version, I wanted the real deal. So, I went online, I tried to find some official sources. I found a few fan-made lyric videos and some websites. I cross-referenced a couple of different sources just to make sure I was getting it right. Gotta weed out those typos, you know?
Listening and Repeating
Next up, I fired up the song itself. I used a the app that has a feature that lets you loop sections of a song, which is super helpful for learning lyrics. I played the first verse, like, ten times in a row. I sang along, mumbled along, whatever it took to get the words and the rhythm in my head.
- Listen to the whole song a few times to get a feel for it.
- Focus on one verse at a time.
- Repeat, repeat, repeat!
Breaking It Down
Some parts were trickier than others. There’s that one bit in the second verse that’s pretty fast. So, I slowed it down. I used a feature to reduce the playback speed without messing up the pitch too much. That really helped me pick out the individual words and how they flowed together.
Singing It Out Loud
Once I felt like I had a decent grasp on each verse, I started singing along with the song at normal speed. No shame here, I was belting it out in my room! It’s one thing to read the lyrics, but it’s another thing entirely to actually sing them. You gotta get the timing right, the emphasis, all that good stuff.
Putting It All Together
After working through each verse individually, I went back to the beginning and sang the whole song from start to finish. I messed up a few times, sure, but I kept at it. Each time I got a little bit smoother, a little more confident.
It is important to do it over and over!
Final Touches
Now, I’m not saying I’m ready to perform it on stage or anything, but I can definitely sing along without stumbling over every other word. I still keep the lyrics handy just in case, but I’m feeling pretty good about my progress. It’s a killer song, and it’s even more fun to sing when you actually know the words!
So yeah, that’s my little journey into the world of Cody Rhodes’ lyrics. It took some time and effort, but it was totally worth it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go blast “Kingdom” and sing my heart out!
