The thing there is that people who write songs for a hobby or enjoyment are in a WHOLE different league than the people who are hired to crank out 4 or 6 a day in a songwriting factory. Refer back to that 6 song mashup that all sound exactly the same and that makes my point. Music now is formulaic, not emotional. This chord goes to that chord which goes to that chord and it can't be more than 3:34 long....


There are formula's to a point, but there always sort of have been IMO. Even the bands that go against anything commercial...it's sort of a formula in my head.

It's sort of like when Pearl Jam went on MTV to say they weren't going to promote their concerts....um, you just did wink

I have never sold a song, I doubt if I ever will, and I don't care because I have never been so delusional that I think my songs can compete in that arena. It's MY arena that matters to me, as I am not a professional writer.

Heck, I am having trouble finishing a 9 song CD! Trying to make schedules match with my engineer. Hard cheese! grin


I would love to hear it when you do finish it! It sounds you write from a place I also like and enjoy greatly!
