Excuse me Pop Ditty's are hard to write, Sounding simple, is not easy. saying a lot with a few words, is hard.
Marrying the right words to the right music is hard, nothing wrong with being commercial, commercial means catchy.
We dont want novels, all of the Beatles fabulous songs said a lot with a few words. if the guy in the street is singing or whistling your tune you have done the business.
Remember guys lyrics are meant to be sung not read, It dont mean a thing if it dont sing.
Jason does a great job but he's no Dianne Warren and never will be keep things in perspective.
Iy you want to study the song market look at the work of greats like Sammy Cahn, and Gershwin , Sondheim, all there principles of great song writing stand up today, even with a so called simple Pop Song.
Have been working at E.M.I. Hayes U.K. in many departments starting as Tea Boy and worked through to A and R, New Artist Management, Co Writing , with Boy Bands, and some solo acts I have always played in bands,
SPLIT LEVEL psuedonymn of course to many thieves and robbers on the web these days

"The standard by which I now measure the things in my life is the following: If I was on my death bed, or if I knew I had a short time to live, would this issue be important? If the answer is no.. I don't sweat it at all. If the answer is Yes, you better believe it goes to the front of the order of today's business!" -Brian Austin Whitney
