You just sounded off on CG's thread down in creative writing like you won some great battle against Conservative Christians lol... And your battle cry is "Make JPF A Great Music Site Again"... Good Grief DomDom, shut up and record something!
A suggestion... Work with a song lyric and Udio for about 1.5 weeks. Set it completely aside for 1.5 weeks and try not to think about it too much. Then come back at it with a fresher more objective look and work your lyrics back-and-forth via Udio again....for a week or so.
Do not tell yourself that it is good or absolutely finished. Tell yourself that it can always be better. When you are satisfied that it is presentably good, put it up for comments and start the next one.
That is 12 songs a year that are worked out. Throwing all this stuff at the wall in a week is not going to work out unless you are a Mozart. You aren't.

The so called...in your mind... deluge of my songs, is no deluge to me.
I've been writing songs on and off since high school, mostly garage stuff with bands. I didn't start writing decent dings till decade later, and I really haven't stopped.
Constantly singing into my recorder or now phone, the ideas are never ending.
So is it a surprise that an opportunity to get 25 or so said songs demoed how I envisioned or in some cases better than I envisioned, into tangible form is very exiting?
It's been alot of fun and you want to ruin it for me.dont know what to tell you, I saw your errand lyric Posted at least three times over several year's.
Your not prolific, you don't get it.
And the results of this experiment speak for themselves.
I haven't t heard any ai song better than what I'm doing, and I'm just scratching the surface
It doesnt pretend to be too much. 2 people viewing the final moments of the same broken romantic relationship with very contrasting points of view. One with utter indifference. One with much pain and hurt. Fade to black.
Nothing groundbreaking, but relatable. Happens every day. Been on both sides of it in my life....35+ years ago. I have a theory as to why it has no resonance with you.
I think that Just Another Errand is a pretty good writing. I have seen nothing in anything that you have ever posted that I would consider superior. Just your claims of such. But that looks like a syndrome.
Right that's why you are stuck just another errand
I like "Just Another Errand"

But you don't know the difference.
You think adding toontrack to your song makes it s better song .
Oh you are talking ground breaking .
I have never thought of myself as ground breaking, in fact few artists are. I struggle to write a good song. Not easy.
Yes, I'm judging you. You do a lot of judging. Seems fair that I get a turn.
I think my writing is pretty good for a hobbyist. I think that your view of your prowess as a writer is delusion, rooted in desperate insecurity and clinical.
You profess that people here should speak the raw truth. There it is. Do you still think that its a good idea?
Dom's definition of superior songwriting... "Has guitar and sounds like Springsteen."
Exactly. And there are those of us who think that Springsteen's early stuff was fresh and innovative, but the later stuff only made it to the spotlight due to established star power. But Dom, for some reason is fixed on it.

His early stuff wasn't ground breaking at all, but it was provocative and urgent and delivered with un bridled passion.
He had Dylan and van Morrison influences all over it.
It wasn't really till darkness in the edge if Town dud he become Himself.
The idea is to connect and communicate, writing good lyrics and good tunes is a big start

Be all that as it may. Or may not. Your musical growth appears stunted because you have locked in Springsteen as your paradigm.
You are proving up what I have written above and making this more weird and a bit cringy.
Time for all of us to drop the shovels and quit digging the hole.
Marty
Dude you always pontificating about what you deem weird, and your opinion is the only one that matters, and when another opinion comes in, then you deescalate with ..changing the subject.
Nice mo, but meaningless.
You've had alot of suggestions for me, I have one fur you now.
Don't worry about what I do, , a little mind your own business wouldn't hurt
An old, blind Marine wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?' The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, 'Before you tell that joke I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things: 1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat. 2. The bouncer is a blonde girl. 3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate. 4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter. 5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler. Now, think about it seriously, do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?' The blind Marine thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, 'No...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.'
I have no idea , the sarcastic remark seem funny at 5 am catching fish

Creators of music have a responsibility to their craft. When they have finished using all the notes and words, they must pass them down to the next generation with a simple request. “Use these to create new music.”...Steven McDonald
The Atheist kind : Scripture is more depressing then divorce
Lord, I apologize for that there, and...be with the pygmies in New Guinea, amen
the only reason i quit being a catholic , I got bad knees from laying carpet for 50 years I'm not getting up and down 1000 times in church , Well and maybe and the pedo priests, Well nobodys perfect Well like Wille Nelson says , songwriters should never talk , It gets em in trouble every time , Just sing and shut up
It seems to me that the Vatican is all about discipline and guilt... Catholicism baptizes babies, then "shames" people into remaining loyal and contributing to the church.
The Bible is actually all about the necessity of forgiveness. Nobody's perfect except God, and God knows that lol...
Personally, somehow, knowing that someone out there DOES actually have all the answers appeals to me... even though it's impossible for me to know the mind of God.
