Hey Eric, like the ER IC too How do you pronounce that? As in errrrr I see? Like the samples Welcome, there's few Haggis's around here

Hey Roger, glad you've allowed us to join your journey Welcome to SS

Anderson from Dalian - just up the road from me Good to have you here Is that you singing on "We have to try" What else did you do on this song? If you plan to post songs/music, I'd advise getting a VPN so as to get a soundcloud acct, or at the very least, get a reverbnation acct. If you've any problems or questions - ask me

Hail Pete from England. Welcome

Thx Kaige

Wow, 10% of cost approx. Yeh, I know which company you mean ref the suicides. Just don't like generalised statements that give people the totally wrong impression A family in HK, their kid needed a toilet badly, the queue was too long to wait so the mother used a nappy to collect on a roadside. The international news reported it as Chinese Kids Use Street As Toilet - Again. Totally wrong! Thx for the price info

For me, as a last line, it works with it, because it makes a break from all the above, makes the listener stop feeling comfortable and thinking they know what to expect next, before you finish off with "nothing but a rebel just looking for some notoriety"

Nice intro David. If you're half crazy - we must be totally insane Welcome to The Mad House

Hey Rebel, this sounds/reads good m8

Waiting on Viktor to say 'roughly' what the copy costs

Hiya Kat, my apologies, I must have been busy with Christmas, getting drunk or something. So a belated WELCOME

Hey James, great intro and looking forward to hearing 'your' hybrid mixes Welcome

Am I right in thinking that the guys making these copies sometimes commit suicide? I've lived here for 15 years and haven't heard of 'that one'! By that one, I mean guitar makers. Low wages is another misconception since it's all relative to living costs What does an original Gibson as you've bought go for, out of interest?

Hi & welcome. I concur with Tom above. No matter what part of the Music & Entertainment Industry you are in, without a passion, without a kind of unconditional love for music and creativity (same applies to painters, dancers etc), without an uncompromising amount of dedication and an acknowledgement that you find 'enough' in just what it is you do, whatever that may be, focusing on it as an income or generator of income isn't going to work, 99.9% of the time. The reason for that is you get so many knock backs, disappointments etc, without the above you'll just give up. And you're focusing 'just' on being a lyricist. You've also got to take into account of the people 'you're' looking at, wanting out of a vicious circle, the rat-race, fed up of profit-led companies slapping too restrictive constraints on them, changes in family obligations ....... the list goes on and is never 'that' clear ......... and possibly that they want to give back and find they're just as good if not better at doing that!!! You say you're very good and write very good lyrics. Put something on the Lyric Critique board, let's have a look? Let some 'veteran' peers give you some honest feedback first. And if you have this talent, and want to do lyrics, what else can you use it for that is viable to support you? Half of me is thinking that you've given up before you've tried What's behind 'the' door for you if you knock on it, is very possibly something completely different to what lies there for me. We can all play the game of 'how glamorous it all looks, if you 'have the luck', but those who are successful do not have an easy life of it And that applies - in a financial way - to any 'career' aspect you may choose. All that glitters is not gold So, if you can put aside the monetary aspect, what have you got to lose? Looking forward to seeing 'a' lyric from you

Hey John, welcome What is it you do in 'the industry' ??

I checked his account through soundcloud Peter, he's removed all the tracks. Sometimes, and this can be due to location (as in my case), I find occasionally that I have to open a window/tab and go direct to soundcloud to listen

Great Welcome!

Great Intro Peter Look forward to helping you where I can

Hi Peter, welcome. I've removed your website link because new members can't promote their websites I'm afraid - we get so many spammers trying to bother our community. I hope you understand. Donna above asks if you can supply a link to one of your songs. I'd prefer to within introducing yourself, to read what you have to say, then if you have a finished song on soundcloud or youtube, you could post it within Showcase. Up to you Anyway, please look around, get the feel of the community, check the rules and guidelines for how things work

Pack it in fesal .... NOW

Fesal, giving critique/feedback is about offering helpful advice. It's not about 'telling someone what to do'. It's a discussion and something people have to learn how to do in a good way. That's why everyone has to give 2 critiques for every one lyric/song they post. So YOU learn too

Hey Lorennz, welcome. Take the time to read as much as you can to pick up on the wealth of help, advice and tips, from all over the site to help you. Remember also to read the top of any forum for its requirements from you before posting

Nice - thanks for sharing

Hi & welcome. Repeating what MMR said above - post 2 critiques to other songs (minimum) before posting your song/lyric. If you need help to understand critiquing, check out the links within the "Before You Post" at the top of the forums. I'm saying this as it seems you've only posted 'your' song up to now

This is the place most of us came to for that very reason. Welcome
