Hi Aaron/Folks-
The truth of the matter is;
songwriting rules are made to be followed;
but also can be broken...if it works for the song.
Best bet, if you wish to use an idea, or phrase that has been used before,
say it in a fresh, unique and original way.
You retain the old idea, and draw in the listener's attention with adding
the "spin" on your new creation.
Publishers are always looking for new ideas.
Being different can give you that edge it takes
to get that cut, the last writer missed, by being to conventional.
A couple examples of spins on catch phrases.
Alanis Morrisette- HEAD OVER FEET
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Cal- I WANNA LOVE YOU TONIGHT
I'll be leavin' by the break of light
I WANNA LOVE YOU TONIGHT.
~C~

"If someone is truly a jerk, or truly is not deserving of any positive reply from you, polite indifference is the best response you can give. Do not insult. Do not slam. Do not follow the urge to be nasty. Simply be politely indifferent." –Brian Austin Whitney
