Hi, Janne! Thank you very much for your response. That single line, "It's not too much to ask to feel alive," was something Robert Quigley from Edinburgh, Scotland suggested to me and I liked it. I've sometimes collaborated with him and Bob Bentley who is from the south shore of England. Jenny, the vocalist, moved from Scotland to Australia and really knows how to deliver a song. They were on Broadjam where I found several friends, all of like minds who love to be cooperative, supportive, and friendly. My songs are a travelogue of my life experiences. That's what I have to write about to get down to what means anything. Yes, there's a lot of production divas out there but it all comes down to the base words and music. I love writing catchy pop melodies which to me is the most important part of the song as it has the feeling words alone can't reach.
Best to you, my friend.
John
