Hey folks,
Well, we'll all have to wait on this one for a while. Shaun is in the process of working with a producer and independent label, and is writing/reviewing a lot of songs before she decides on anything. She doesn't want me playing it out or for anyone. I probably shouldn't have posted the lyrics. and was actually only using it as a demonstration on how to make lyrics reflect something going on in your life. Shaun, like myself, get in our own way a lot. So that was just a way to make it a "teachable moment" when approaching songwriting.
This is the situation I continually find myself in. When you write with other people, particularly artists, it is really up to them as to when you can put something "out there." It is one of the reasons I forget about so many songs. I write them, try to bring my "A" game and do the best I can. then turn them over to them in hopes it works out well for all concerned. Some times it is years before they pop up again.
It is the doubled edged sword. How do you get something "out there" until you have gotten it "out there." But there is a thing called "control" and when you work with other people you have to respect that control for them.
Just another aspect of working with a lot of people. They each have their own quirks and desires.
MAB
