Ok well i just had to put this up coz i felt like i really got what this guy was saying, i just hope i can practice what i preach or wateva they say these days....
"When singing a song in public, you have an obligation to your audience. When singing for your own enjoyment, or with a few friends, you can indulge your inner needs. If you can entertain your audience and satisfy your inner needs, then you've cracked it!
The ability to edit the output ruthlessly is most important, I reckon. Successful songwriters have often discarded more songs than they have used, certainly in the early years.
If a song isn't 'up to standard', then bin it... or keep it to one side and use bits of it to write a better one!
Whilst I agree people should be free to write songs without restrictions, I am also free to decide whether I like the results or not!"
-btw this was from www.mudcat.com and it is about lyric/songwritting if you havent already figured it out lol. Um so yes, i really wanna become a good songwriter or at least a good lyricist or maybe even a GREAT lyricist.... But for now i just gotta keep practicing..... and i think im getting pretty good at it! (lol)
