The words are paramount - 05/22/12 10:49 PM
I am preparing a song to post on the user showcase. All I need, basically is an adequate vocal.
I'll let BIAB do the harmonies, guitar, bass, drums, and piano, but ultimately I'll want real instruments.
I have to know what people think about this song before I can proceed because I have a problem. Maybe some of you BIAB forumeers, who are experienced in the industry, and reality, and discouragment, could help.
I have written some lyrics, (forget the instrumentation for now), that I just love. I have said exactly what I want to say. And I thought it was said in a way that the lady in question would appreciate.
Then, as I was considering hiring a professional vocalist to sing it, I was told by his LA producer that she thought it was a childrens song. I was so hurt, because it is most definately not meant for kids.
I understand this is not a lyric-writing forum, but I kinda like it here.
Would it be ok if I posted my lyrics before I post the completed song on the user-showcase, and you all tell me if it is childish?
