Songwriting is a reasonably simple means of self-expression. Take some words, add a bit of music, rhythm, rhyme (perhaps, perhaps not…), and there you have it. A song. Anyone can do it. As with any other artistic form separating good from bad starts with the creator and ends with the consumer, in this case, the listener. The listener is the final arbiter of which songs receive wide public attention and which languish in the nether-lands. Every songwriter hopes their music connects with the listener on a personal level. I hope some of my songs connect with you.
