Struggling to properly describe sounds in my writing-
Onomatopoeias and stuff, I know, but full-on songs are the problem points.
Music is decently important to my worldbuilding, so I can get joy avoid it for so long-
if i may, in 'book of a thousand days' (a great read, totally recommend) the main character sings on separate notable occasions and 'the mucker songs' are something notable in story and worldbuilding, you could check it out.
but the way i'd do it would be:
"the melody had a jaunty note about it. up and down the song went, he sang so loudly everyone was forced to listen. the sound was more like one you'd hear in a bar full of drunken sailors rather than a cold, harsh night like this. but it did it's job and people began joining in and laughing."
or
"the melancholy sound was so sad it could make a statue cry. her song carried over the distance, the depressing highs and sudden low would make one think there was a funeral. apart from teary tune it was beautiful."
i hope this may help :)
