There is obviously, as I have learned from you Marc, a basic, core formula by which to write songs in Nashville (verse, channel, chorus, bridge option, etc.) ; however, country music is always changing and Nashville seems to thirsty for change or "the next big thing". What is your advice for writing totally new, unknown styles of songs which may be the next "new sound", yet also staying in conformity with the basic fundamental formula or rules for writing. For instance, it seems I'm trying to write in a manner similar to what's "in" currently, but say I wrote the best "current" song ever today. By the time it got to where needed to go, country music will have already moved on to something else. Best way to stay current and ahead at the same time?
