Following on from a topic posted here it made me think so here whats in my head lyrics can be interpeted so many ways the writer has a image / story in his mind that he or she wants to convey and unless we have the facts on the story well we all more than 9 times out of 10 put our story/ experiences to it . being a songwriter i have allways wrote from my experiences and can be cryptic at times, and have wrote one song that on the surface appears to be a love song of man meets woman falls in love but it couldnt be further from the truth so my question is would the facts surrounding a lyric / song change your perseption of the song ?

Aye up guys and gals of course busy busy busy.......... well i have been we had a few guys in at the weeked for a try out a drummer and a bass player so we are moving on with band members although its not final yet footie eas dire on saturday oh and my daughters boyfriend plays guitar in a band and the won the scotish heats and are off to liverpool for the national heats so good luck steven am sure you will blow them away which reminds me i nearly killed the poor lad when i met him for the first time and no soapy not in that over pretective father thing i had invited them both for sunday lunch so i could meet the lad well all good dads check them out anyhow I didn't know he had a nut alergy did i and he is still here to tell the tail went to carling academy on sat to see the complete stone roses i had a ticket for from the jam but as you know toss of the coin won it For a trubute band they were really good and the place was mobbed and by all acounts the barrowland (from the jam ) gig was average and i herd through the grapvine that The scheme experience were fantastic at the Classic grand well done guys But now to the serious part of my blog some one i know who shall remain namless actually put in there blog that santa is not real well **** me was i upset how can you just do that my whole chidhood images came flashing back a whole childhood destroyed in the blink of an eye shame on you yes you know who you are but then again i could be over reacting a bit so more shopping to do this week and its the season to be jolly se ya all later and remember BE GOOD you don't want to end up on the naughty list

Hello and welcome to the forum Janey best one to use is this>>>>Songwriting sub forum enjoy its a great site for learning and full of great characters

Yay to the bad spellers im all for it

Ok you got me there who is George Wylie ?

I know where your comming from there had similar problems myself i think the only way is to get yourself a fan base of some sort even if its from supporting other bands who have a good fanbase and hope to catch a few of them think it takes some time to get known even in local pubs clubs i have even played open mic nights to be seen i am afraid like most things having to build up slowly there is a load of bands out there and we have to fight to get people on our side

Wee update roy weton from millside radio who supports us and has played our songs has agreed to riview 4 of our songs thanks for the tip lazz

as an afterthough of what lazz said i suppose i could contact the dj that has played our stuff

wow that was quick most i can do only problem we have no reviews but thanks

What should i be looking to include in a press pack i really have no clue on these matters

i don't mind paying up to £50 but above that seems to me to be too much i know there is a lot of cost in big shows but i tend to think there are too many people charging for non gig related stuff like all blue m an ms and stupid demands of some artists but again i have the ability to say no i don't think i will pay that besides i tend to go to local places to see local bands

You hansome devil bet you were a lady killer
