Been gone a few weeks. I'm pointing back to the book 88 Song Writing Wrongs... If you are hoping to get encouragement from others who hear your songs perhaps re-arrange them or make a few changes so they are more appealing to those you hope to gain encouragement from.

Also, you might offer to allow someone to collaborate on them. Which would mean you'd have to accept some changes offered by someone else's opinion. Being open to changes can be very encouraging. If you don't like the changes someone else makes to your song go back to the original or use their changes for ideas.

You might also ask someone else to sing them for you. I do this and I also sing other writers songs for them. Some times that's for demo purpose but some times they keep all or part of my vocal tracks. Other times that have a different singer replace mine or their vocal tracks. The idea is to find the vocalist that best expresses the song.

Question; Have you become more encouraged over the time period since you created this thread?
Why? Why not? What was it that made you feel better? Worse? Have you applied any of the suggestions mentally, on paper, on instrument, on voice?

Does the noise in your head bother me ?
