It Is An Honor To Critique Your Music

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Today we received a song upload submission at the Songs2Share.com website.  It is from a songwriter who sent a couple songs several months ago and then went on vacation.  Listening to his newest submission made me think how special it is to have songwriters submit their music for us to give comments.

It is really an honor for me to listen to your songs.  It is also a pleasure.  As a lyricist, I understand how these songs are expressions of what is going on in our personal lives.  All writing is biographical.  So when I listen to a song titled, “You’re Going To Break My Heart” I can imagine my own situation where I felt someone was going to break my heart.  Then I can advise an angle into a line the songwriter might like. 

We share the same emotions, though they are brought up by our personal experiences.  A lot of my own co-writes are love songs.  Some are happy love and some are broken heart love.  I never tire of love songs. :-)

It is truly an honor to critique your music.  It is our goal to get your music performed.  We’ve had a hundred and ten songs uploaded thus far.  Thanks for each and every beat of them.  Cheers!  Keep the river flowing.

Here is a recent e-mail I sent off:  

Hi Terry, I am in receipt of your current MP3 for Make A New Start.  After listening, my first comment is this melody is very different from the other one.  I’m sending it to Guilherme for review.  I’ll get back to you when I hear his comments.  I have my own and am curious what he will say. We had a rehearsal in my front room this afternoon.  We are recording vocals in the studio soon, over the .wav piano track of The Graduate Cheer which Guilherme & I co-wrote, and he sent over the Internet from Brazil.  I want to have a fuller vocal recording for the Songs2Share debut CD.  It was really a good time.  Matthew, who was coming over to sing harmony brought his guitar.  Tia, who was tuning our guitar broke the g string.  When Matthew got here, he couldn’t practice the song until he put a new g string on our guitar. Somewhere in the rehearsal, Tia asked Matthew to play some riffs for her song.  She proceeded to play Two Left Feet on the guitar, singing while Matthew played percussion on his acoustic guitar, and then he played lead or embellishment.  It’s a good song.  S2S will help Tia get a good recording of her song.  I had a great time.  I am determined that when we move next month into our own house, I’ll be able to get up some musicians to visit and work songs in our front room regularly. Keep on that piano.  I’ve still got You Can Be Anything sitting in the files. Cheers ~ Robertawww.Song2Share.com
