Welcome Nick, I look forward to hearing more of your work....good stuff...I really liked Theres Nothing Wrong PT II

This made me laugh and smile....such a fun cover...Great job !

Welcome and greetings, you sure have some wild talents there. Sounds like you work hard too. james

Welcome Pipps, nice to have a chatterbox like you around

welcome to songstuff

Good questions and answers. I sometimes think about Lennon and McCartney, It was a real give an take yet one person still had a core idea and the other one would help out with the tweaking...yet since they were there in the room with each other, both could play, sing, etc. that made for a powerful song team. As I read lyric only, I really wonder, how will that work once you add in music? I know I change my lyrics based on the music and then tweak it as needed. How can folk in separate physical places bring the two , the lyric and music together and create a good song. Yet to do all that by text alone? I have a hard time seeing that work out without a lot of extra time and work involved. I just did a collaboration with a female singer / song writer. I was fun and cool, but still very hard. It was a first time collaboration and though it went well it had problems with the final tweaking and she is right here in a nearby town. BTW, we did get a recording done of the song, still needs a bit of work. One of the problems is that is just takes a while to get used to working with a co-writer. There were changes I wanted to make and did, but I didn't run them by the co author first....this was just 'cause I am not used to having a partner in creating a song. Yet I just said sorry and let go of some of the changes that I thought improved it...and it still was a good song. So collaborating, I think, is a very tricky deal. Seems like it would take a long time to get that synergy going that a good writing team needs

welcome LaLa, I hope you enjoy it here

welcome Megan, I hope you'll find this a good place to share your gifts

I came for the songs and stayed for the rest of what Songstuff had to offer. I was looking for a place just like songstuff and never knew it. I had been posting on a few other sites and was pretty unhappy with the result, lots of work from me for their songs...almost none for the work I posted, or what was said just was not useful. When I got fed up and started looking around Songstuff came up and I was impressed from the very start. Once I got involved I found the people here not only helpful but really talented in the music field and very willing to help get my songs sounding better. Active members and really great ideas that give me what I need to help improve my craft. I Really feel both lucky and privileged to be able to be here. I've already told every musician I know to come here and hang out, so if you wondered about joining all I can say is don't worry..... If you've been wanting to talk to others who are as creative and music mad as yourself....you have come home. Peace, James

David, post your new song mix here....I'd love to have others able to hear what you were able to do ..... James
