just when ya think ya know the rules somebody charts a smash hit that breaks the rules and you can forget all the rules and start over...seems to me it's everything about a new way to tell a story that's already been told in one way, shape , form or another, with some great music behind it...I always try and step back as a writer and hear it as a listener, if it listens cheesy, it's cheesy...and then just when you order it without cheese, somebody charts a super cheeser that gets airplay out the wazoo...just keep writing, either you're smart enough to figure it out and catch a break or keep trying to figure it out 'til you do...I will say there are a few rhymes that will send a publisher after the next song immediately...biggest issue to me,if it feels forced it probably is...Moker
