I think after a while you "know" that you've written something good just by comparative analysis...how does it stack up to your best work.


Ha....Oh, the irony of our song writing efforts.

For me....
I write simple music/arrangements and concentrate more on lyrical continuity/story line originality.
But...whether I succeed in conveying those criteria are determined by the kind listeners. smile

So...if I get the courage to throw one of mine up against this (or any other) forum wall for my peer ears and get generally positive responses....that is 'good' enough for me.
I know my place in the music world and my material won't ever have any mass appeal.

It's what we do....great creative therapy for me.

Have a great day all....
