Sell Out
So it is no big secret that I have been trying my whole life to make music. Make music and make it in music, though I will say making it has maybe avoided me rather well the last well, the last all the years I have been writing music. Let me just say rejection doesn't sting any less the 110th time as it did the first. Rejection is rejection is rejection.
However, this has not kept me from the constant submissions and playing out, and home recordings and studio time... Etc etc etc....
Now recently I had some feedback that was basically the death warrant for a singer song writer.
You Are NOT marketable.
Well shit.
So here is what I did. I listened to the feedback.
I followed the rules and the requirements to make a palatable song for the American public.
I took my Texas country style and for one song squashed it like a bug. For one song, I sold out.
I SOLD OUT!!!! Me! And I did it to see if I could write a song that people would want to hear, that a music publisher would want to buy. Just once.
Now this was in no way easy in the sense that writing a song that rhymes and has easy lyrics and verses and catchy chorus.... Not exactly my forte, but all and all I do not hate my finished product. So tonight while munching on beef jerky and Thin Mints and a cheap glass of wine, I wrapped up the song. It is called Falling Up....
Feel free to judge.... But I think it may be a catchy mother (shut yo mouth).
Thanks for listening and as always, thanks for taking the time to read this blog. bTW JP you will be in my next post.
