Songwriter Flubs- Part 2

Thinking Your Most Recent Song Is Your Best Song Yet.

It’s a curse, I swear. I’ve fallen prey to this nasty little reality slap many times. Write another tune. The song in between will give you a little perspective. Your last song is rarely your best, even though you may think so at the time. I’ve seen seasoned songwriters make this error too! You’re not alone. I’ve seen over zealous professional songwriters burst into their publisher’s offices only to have

the “newest hit song” land as flat as a fart in church. Oh, the agony of defeat. Denied! Take your time. We’re all human. Granted, we all get tired of listening to our old songs. And a new song will really light up our skies, but use that fire to write another one, and quickly! Then in your creative hours, look again. Are your lyrics clear? Is everything as it should be? How about a better melody? What can be improved? I’ll bet it can. Yeah, put some time and space between your songs.
