Everitt,

At this point I'm not certain (legally)
what's allowed and what's not.

But yes...You are right that many times..
a lyric is written ...and folks may have
different melodies ....( I've heard it gets complicated but it is done)....
and I'd think if someone was in the process of a collaboration and they did not care for the direction of the lyrics.....or the direction of the melody...or the melody that was presented,or the lyric that was presented, they should be able to say....They didn't like it....
I think many of us have had collaborations that have NOT worked.....and that very thing has happened.

But if you go back and re-read what I wrote above....that was NOT the situation..in this case. I was profusely thanked for writing the melody...told how much they loved it...
how beautiful it was..... It was put on their
own personal radio play list...and then weeks later...I received this request.
& Everitt, I did have some imput on the lyrics...

Thanks...for stopping by.....
best......
Kaley...


Boy.. Liz...some serious food for thought!!!...... I think many of us who are really serious about writing...take the administrative end...too casually.....
I'm guilty.... I will check into this more....I appreciate...all your effort...

thank you very much........ [Linked Image] [Linked Image]
