EARTHQUAKE!!
Hey,
I live in SEattle, and we just had a pretty decent 'quake. 6.8 they are saying. I really thought I might buy the farm today. I was hiding under my desk at work listening to things crashing to the ground all around me and thinking "Crap, now I'll never get to find out what makes a good song!"
Thanks for all the insights. After listening to LI Slim, I think I will have to ad "an emotional element that most people have in common" to my list of good song criteria. Obviously that's why so many songs are about love. But even songs of love can suck.
<<To use my musical skills (such as they are) to truly express myself, and have that really heard and accepted by others.>>
That is EXACTLY how I feel! Sometimes I want it so much it almost aches.
Today, however, it feels great just to be alive. What a great day to write a song!
