Yes they can. Writing a song is a personal art form. You are not equipped to tell someone that their song is good or bad. You can like it or dislike it, but you can't judge if it's actually good or bad because someone else might disagree with you. Who's right? You? Because you say so? Um no.
Those aren't bad examples, but there are holes in them. A baseball player can actually practice physical techniques that can make him better. Practice is not as good as pure raw talent though. A singer can also practice physical techniques to improve. Not as good as a natural though. Algebra can be taught to monkeys. Songwriting is something inside a person that is intangible. You and others might be okay with allowing an outsider to come in and tinker with you. I'm not, and I'll discourage anyone from allowing it.
I'm fine with that, but the improver has to better than the improvee. You're not qualified. You've shown no reason to be taken seriously.
For me, I make them for my own enjoyment and my sales go to charities. That's it.
No, and I won't be the last. It's funny how you go back forth praising me and bashing me. You're so hollow. You're really just swinging at air. Lol. As I've said many times - I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel. I'm fucking awesome at what I do and I love doing it. Why that upsets you is beyond me, but it is amusing.

I can judge if the writer knows his craft. I can judge if the song is polished or with most people, if it's raw. I can be impressed by a song or
a songwriter, even if they lack polish and experience. I recently saw a girl she was probably only 18 or so, nice girl, didnt bad mouth me, I was really impressed by her writing, she already had a style, she was writing stuff that was better than anything I could have written at 18, she lacked fine tuning, I helped her clean up some of the excess and get to the point of her song. She put out an EP, and working hard to become a pro, Thats satisfying for me, and she was good enough to know she wasnt great, yet.
But I would not be surprised if she makes it, she has plenty of time to do it.

Yes, everybody has potential to improve whatever skill they have. Songwriting has as many learnable skills as singing does. As I have said, anybody who writes a verse/chorus, knows something, and they learned it from music they listen to. Nobody has one teacher, they have many, I could learn from your songs too, mostly how NOT to write LOLLLLLL

Which is why you have reviews, which are as valid as something YOU might review.
I said, I think your stuff is ok, the recordings are really good, without them, youd sound bad. But you do show some learn skill, you didnt dream up punk music, you copied your heros. But theres more to songwriting than Punk Rock
