The hard part of these is conforming to a theme. I mean if I could just write any old song, no problem. But when you write within a set of rules, that's when, for some of us anyway, it becomes difficult. That's why I did poorly this month. But that could be said for any of us as we're all in the same boat. Point is, some people work better under pressure and restrictions than others. I'm not one of them, which is why I always did poorly in the OSC. The first one of these was a theme I just happened to be comfortable with, which is the only reason I did well.Tbase2000 wrote:Most of us are that struggling hobby musician. We all want that audience but....What I really want to hear is someone go above and beyond the competition specs and rock a full song ready for radio. Honestly...what is your goal in all of this? Over at the Foxxy Chanel we had some of that. Really professional ready releases. This group has amazing talent and I'm a big fan now of a few of you. Just keep it going. I've seen huge progress in as little as 3 months from most of the submissions. Be authentic and produce your sound. It's fun. You do have talent...just run with it.
The upcoming month? Again, have no clue what to do. And then, on top of that, I have to have an Amin7 chord in the song? WTF?
I used to find stuff like this not the least bit enjoyable. Now? Eh, it's something to do. But I just can't take it seriously because of all the rules.
But I agree, some very talented people here.
thereby adding further credibility to the adage "you are your own worst enemy."
