Ande, those kinds of songs aren't hard to write...they're hard to market without extreme amounts of networking because there's so many identical love songs out there. they're all so saccharine and each competing for the kinds of singers who cut them. it's the odds against the singer choosing your cheesy love song that makes it tough. that's where networking comes in. it's hard to have a hit with them, but they're not hard to write. Which do you think McCartney had a harder time with...She Loves You or Eleanor Rigby?
The more commercial stuff I have I wrote in less than thirty minutes. the other stuff in my catalog, the stuff I'm proud of, the stuff that makes me ME as a writer...that's different.
