God, I LOVE you guys....
I got so much negativity over this song at a BAND website... other bands, competition type thing... they would totally down everything, and then talk about how thier stuff was right, and how mine should/ could be more like thiers. I'd listen to theirs and it just seemed like 2 part songs with one chord per part with no melody of any kind, and I thought maybe there was something wrong with me.
Maybe they were all just jealous, but they had me down about it. I really like the song and I was kinda proud of its arrangement, and EVERYBODY else at this site hated it, said I was ripping off everyone from Creed to whoever, (cept this 17 year old chick in New York that wants to come here with her friends and hear us... what would YOU do?
... ).
I guess everyone just wanted to win the damn thing or something, and wanted to down everyone else to make themselves look better. Thats just not my game, I just want people to enjoy it as much as I do, and maybe feel a little of what I feel. I didn't ever want to win it, I just wanted honest opinions... maybe I'm finally getting them. At least I hope so
That contest was worth $10,000 by the way. My take was $2000. Not bad for a days work.
Ok, joking, I didnt win, but it was fun saying it.
Pardon this post, by the way... I've been, ummm.. buzzing.
Peace,
Paul
