Thank you Darren @Moonhare . I have so many songs that need to get written. I’m picking the ones that want to get out the worst cause I may never be able to write them all.
Very common advice among songwriters is just crank the songs out because 95 out of 100 are going to be junk, then 4 are going to be good, and only 1 out of 100 is going to be great and maybe make you money.
Sorry, it simply doesn’t work that way. Life doesn’t follow statistics. Statistics follows life, but that’s not all that helpful. Every song I write is good because I DON’T just punch them out. Each one takes what it takes. It’s a work of love.
I just read a quote by Steve @Maydog . I was familiar with the principle, but had never heard it worded this way. “Bad things happen fast. Good things happen slowly.”
And I also thank you for the encouragement about taking my own advice. Super important. I was surprised that I wasn’t getting frustrated, but I really enjoy this song. And I am very happy and satisfied with all my small, handful of songs. But this one may be the one I like to play the most… so far. Even over Joy Through the Seasons.
