I get it....

I've co-written with just a couple of old band mates long ago but they asked for my input.
As it was...they'd agreed with my suggestions.

I'm not interested in co-writing for the very reasons you state above.
My music is not that complicated but I'm extremely particular about song subject, lyrics and lyrical phrasing.
(If I could just sing up to my satisfaction that would be cool)
I'll spend consecutive days making sure each line meets my satisfaction and avoiding vapid cliches.

So...co-writing, as a rule, would not work for me.

I should qualify that my songs and above approach to song writing has kept me a poor, common man and unknown song writing entity. smile

Carry on....a good weekend to all.
