Hi,

Perhaps I have a strange take on song writing.

It is my job to write songs and to a certain extent it is really none of my business what other people think about my songs.

I "hope" I write a good song every now and then. I like some of the songs I have written and I think some of my songs are just not good at all.

I write songs at times to other peoples request about subject matter I have no direct connection to.

Yes, my wife ask me now and then " was that about me?"

The answer is yes dear or no dear, what ever the case may be.

I have written songs about outer space and for sure have never been there.

There are many strange ways of expressing things that wind up in songs for many reasons.

"The force that through the green fuse drives the flower" which is a Dylan Thomas line is a strange but cool way to express something.

My advice....just write...what ever comes to mind for what ever reason.

Some people will love it, some will hate it, most people will be so busy with their own life that they will not pay much attention to the words to begin with.

Just be you cause anything you write will be of value to someone.

Like Keith said, I know who I am and I like me...most of the time...lol


Cheers,


Billy

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
