  • The Importance of Lyrics for Rock and Pop Music
    A good work of music that uses lyrics should go that extra step and use the power of words to be meaningful in its effect on the listener’s social consciousness. American Blues and Folk music artists were known by the people at the grass roots, not the glittery illusion of show business. Injustice was everywhere: civil rights workers were being killed, the Vietnam War raged, and citizens lived in poverty. The people stood up, they marched, they rioted, and they were in need of anthems.
  • How to Write Original Songs
    Songs have to come alive if they're to bring any meaning to the listeners, and like all living things, a seed is required to begin the process.

Ask why the song should exist and your mind will provide the theme based on the most recent events that are making you want to reach for your pen.

    Since the early days of Napster a long struggle between record companies and download sites to establish a system of royalty payments that could trickle down to the people who actually write and perform the music that's being sold. People still buy CDs, but it's become even harder for new talent, or established talent for that matter, to reach the shelves of the record stores. Independent artists have to employ the MP3 streaming and download route in the hope that anyone will hear them.
