THIS IS A GREAT THREAD!

MANY OF US HERE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT HIT --A LOT OF US UNDERSTAND, THAT THE MUSIC BIZ SUCKS FOR MOST OUTSIDERS--THIS IS IN CAPS--CAUSE I’M THINKING OUT LOUD!

THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF CRITIQUERS :

1-ATTA BOY--THESE ARE NICE AND SOMEWHAT NECESSARY FOR BUILDING EGO TO START WITH--
2-POSITIVE AND GET THE MESSAGE--KILLER HOOK
3-NEGATIVE ON STRUCTURE
LIST IMPROVEMENTS--IDEAS--THESE HELP ME
4-RHYME SHOOTERS--TRITE PHRASES-BETTER WAY TO DO A COUPLET--HELP ALOT
CAUSES MY WHEELS TO SPIN AND IMPROVEMENTS CAN BEGIN
5-TOTAL RE-WRITE--SOMETIMES I’M GUILTY OF THIS--BUT I’M STILL TRYING TO HELP--IT TAKES TIME TO DO THIS
6-CLOSE FRIENDS AND CO-WRITERS--MOSTLY BEING DONE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS--VERY PRODUCTIVE
7-SOME THAT ARE ON ANOTHER PLANET--HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT--SOMETIMES THESE HELP--HONING THE STORY OR IDEA SOME.
8-A LOT OF OTHERS I’D HAVE TO THINK ABOUT.............



THOUGH MANY ON THIS SITE NEVER COMMENTED ON ANY OF MY LYRICS OR SONGS, I FIGURE SOME DAY THEY MAY, WHEN I GET A LYRIC OR SONG GOOD ENOUGH--OF COURSE GENRE AND MATERIAL PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT--SO I KEEP WRITING AND BARE BONE RECORDING LIKE A LOT OF OTHERS--LEARNING FROM MANY: THOSE WHO DO RESPOND--
