Here's another slant on the cover v original song discussion.

Who would you rather listen to, someone who does cover songs well, or someone who does original songs and most of them are not that good, not from a personal perspective but general view of a good section of the audience.

I know I would pick the first option for a night out.

Personally I think that the best way to get some coverage of original (rather than making a cd) is to put them on youtube, and maybe in conjunction with a facebook page to share the songs. Social media is a great way to get coverage of your original songs I think. The way I look at it is, if I don't get many hits then the song isn't really that good.

I don't have a facebook page myself for this purpose but I have seen others do it with a lot of success.

Having a song that people will sing after we are gone is a nice thing to strive for but unfortunately all those cd's with original songs that people make, will be porbably chucked out in the garbage bin by the people who downloaded them or got them.

The truth and reality may hurt us sometimes but we have to face up to it.
