Songwriting Tip:
Use melody notes not in the chord you are singing over for unique melodies in your songwriting
Here's a fairly simple melody trick if you find your melody lacks color or emotion.
Try using melody notes that are not in the chord you are singing over.
In music theory these are called these non-chord tones. Even if you don't know theory you can find these non-chord tones. Play the individual notes of the chord you are singing over and then try to avoid singing the notes in the chord. You'll probably notice that some notes work better than others and each will have a unique sonic and emotional color.
