the western music world may be approaching some level of satiety with respect to melody and lyrics.

Over the last 100 years (my arbitrary timeline) many great melodies have been created.
Many great lyrics have been written.


Often new songs sound much like many other songs we already know.
Some so much that one person takes another to court regarding the idea.

Dare I say there's a lot of derivative melodies.

Certainly there's a lot of worn out cliche's continually used in music (cue steve goodman's "never even call me by my name" penned some 50 years ago) lyrics.

The original singer/songwriter of today is climbing a very steep slope. Not only are there seemingly many more of them out there, it seems as if a lot of the best material has already been taken.

Not saying all of it. Just saying its hard work to get anywhere playing music, let alone stuff you write/compose.

As a regularly gigging musician (covers), I tip my hat to those getting traction with their orginal music.
