A very emotive subject indeed, we all know artists that are great musicians and great vocalists that dont make it, however we all know musicians that are not that good and do make a living at performing and recording. music for me is subjective so it makes it very difficult to sort it in my head, i dont think their is any right answer , for instance if i had a friend who had no obvious talent but was spending a fortune on equipment and services connected to musical ambitions and was to the detriment of his/her family i would like to think i would say to them. On the other hand there are artist out there making a living because of their difference as someone already said Ian Brown couldn't hold a note in a bucket however has been hailed as a great indie artist and has made a career out of music so taking that all into account we never know where it will go.

Canny believe you gave me a penalty point... my life is in tatters

Hi Just1L, for me a bonus track should be something a little out of the ordinary, an acoustic live version of a song, a massively different arrangement a previously unreleased track or even a rare Demo! version

I am 100% with you on this bro I have been writing for a long time however I have never had the time or the inclination to be a sound guy or a techy guy I will stick to what I like doing best and that's writing. So much time is spent trying to get an insight into how all the techy stuff works that the music gets lost so I pay a producer to do all that and I enjoy recording.

Thank you Jan

Thanks Steve yeh once you get to grips with writing it kinda takes over leaving little or n time to do other stuff however I am here for the moment

To be fair I learned loads from Songstuff so it was only fair that I should express my gratitude, a word of advice for new members I learned more about songwriting by critiquing other peoples songs however you need to be open minded about your own material Now maby I can spend a little more time here
-
I have been a member of songstuff for quite some time I cant quite remember how I found it however it was a real learning curve for me and posting my ideas and getting feedback was amazing. The point of the post is well..... I always wanted to record and release an album and I have been lucky enough to realise that dream, Songstuff played a very big part in this so to John and all the team a very big thank you! without you guys and the members it would never have happened

Thanks Steve

To be honest as i indecated in my vote i don't keep a record of where i submit my songs The main reason is i never really thought about it, however now it is in my mind maby i should. Generally i only ever put my songs up for review and have a mental note of where/ who i send it to, although we are recording an album at the moment so maby some food for thought on how i should

I really enjoyed reading this debate, for me and i presume a lot of other people classic or basic structure in songwriting is our only guide to writing When i fisrt started and i have to be honest here!! i looked at how other songwriters structured their songs and took it from there, so i am sure that mine was very basic, i would like to think that i have improved somewhat and even though i am in my infancy where my writing is concerned i believe i am more likely to try out somthing new structuraly

Many things can inspire me to write, an emotion, an event in my life, even something i see. It may not happen right away it can linger under the surface for some time or on some occasions happen right away i have a small digital 4 track that i can lay down some rough ideas on its almost my note pad.
