I have to agree with Mr Dickens.
I've only heard a smidgen of his writing but that is beside the point.
I've had a listen to some of your stuff Mr Brown and couldn't really hear what generated the hubris. Nice enough stuff, but stuff that adheres to a lot of craft, format, genre and other rules - like those suggested in the video. Mind you that's probably more a matter of my taste than a detailed analysis of things I'm disinclined to listen to.
In Australia we discern between the gifted and the talented.
As demonstrated in the video - ANYONE can write a song...take the video, implement it's reccos in BIAB and you're done. Doesn't mean it's decent, good or great but it's a song.
Some folk are gifted and, with a few skills added, do fab musical things with songs while others learn through graft & craft, develop skills, taste & to and do great things.
There's usually an audience of at least one for each song written...I know and I'm that one for me.
