Romancing The Music Business

I'm In Love With The Music Business

I just met this new girl named music. She is drop dead gorgeous! I think I could marry her. I'm gonna ask her out and see what happens. So let me tell you how it went. Our first date could not have gone any better, it was off the chain. We did all of the things we both loved to do and it was nothing but fun and excitement. This incredible joy went on for months with out a hitch. Then one night I wanted to go to a football game but she wanted to go to an opera. You would have thought I had started world war three. Wow, this isn't as fun as when we first started dating. Sound familiar. I think you know where the story goes. There are two endings and two truths. Truth one, if you where really in love and was willing to do the work it takes to hold on to the love of your life, you could live happily ever-after. Truth two,,if  it was only the romance and infatuation, it all blow up and endin a train wreck.

I have seen many break ups in the music business that ended in divorce , and never to find that love again. My point here is not a point of discouragement, but a point of encouragement! You see if you really love this business you will be willing to put in the work that is necessary to make it work. I promise there will be many trials and tribulations on this road but if your truly in love you will find a way to make it work. Don't quit before the miracle, it could be tomorrow.

Think your song is a hit / maybe maybe not

My Grannie Loves All of My Songs

My time in Nashville was around 20 or so years and I could not begin to tell you how many boxes of songs where thrown in the trash. All of them mailed by someone whom believed they where hits. Sad but true. How where so many people so wrong? I have also heard writers say they wouldn't know a hit if it hit them in the face. I can tell you from the inside that some of the people listening wouldn't, but most would. What a sad expression of the truth.

So what is the solution for this ongoing problem?  Well there is no perfect solution, instead there is  a process that can increase your chances substantially. Before we get into the solution, lets do some soul searching and prepare for the the process. You maybe saying I don't need this crap. Let me know how that works for you and ask yourself , how's it been working so far.

Lets begin with those who think all of there songs are hits, but haven't had a cut yet and only believes a cut brings a bandaid. If you believe that's true then you certainly qualify for the group of living-room  hitmeisters  If your not willing to listen to others critiques , then there is no point of going any further. 

I'm going to make this short. You must get advisers, work with others, network, learn more about your craft from the pro's join pro groups and do lots of wood-shedding. Don't for one minute believe that after writing ten songs your a professional. It takes most people hundreds of songs before they even get close. The good news is you can get there if you do the work. So get with it.
