Henri, that is great advice!

90802, your filename should be your main keyword, and nothing else. So parts-of-a-song-1.html has gotta change! I haven't researched this keyword or anything but shouldn't it be something like.... how-to-write-a-verse.html ?

I know it's 5 keywords, which is the max, and you need to check it for demand / supply figures, but that should be easy enough to weave into your text and headings. ("How to..." articles are great, by the way.)

If your article is 1100 words long, then you need to include your main keyword lots more times than if it was only 500 words long. Almost double, in fact. SBI calculates the golden ratio for keywords to normal words and you have to fall in a certain bracket to pass Analyze It.

Use your main keyword in the first and last 90 characters of your article. Then scatter it sparingly throughout the whole article, with more towards the beginning and end. The same can go for secondary keywords but its not as important. However do use them several times again - once at the beginning is definitely not enough!

(I don't know if this is true, but someone told me the META keyword tags are hardly looked at by search engines now, as they are so easily manipulated. Instead, Google will look at your body text for recurring words and themes. Hence the need for multiple repetitions of keywords.)

Finally, if you want to write an article that doesn't cover any really good keywords - then just do the best you can and focus on making it great for human readers. It's still quality content for the site and you can still link to it internally. However, don't get carried away with these types of articles at this early stage - you want to get the traffic with highly SEO'd articles first. Good luck!
