Hi Again, Bro LJ!!!

Today ya see a LOT of Pop Songs that have 4-5, maybe More Co-Writers...so looks like many a tune's penned by a Committee these days! (Which prolly means the Co-write got Further Co-Writes before it ended up "Hit-Worthy"...)

Which, maybe that IS what a Successful Song requires sometimes...

"Whatever Works" is a good rule of thumb... IS a good idea to put What You Have In-Mind in-Writing before starting a Co-write. (I usually put it into a PM here/Get Agreement/keep the PM "On File" and away we go.) Not TOO much to agree-upon: Standard "Splits" are 50-50 (Tho you & your co-writer MAY have to give a Major Artist half that to get it cut...) and ya split the demo costs. I also request my co-writers contact me with their address/phone number Annually...since most songs take over a year to get anything cut..and it's expected you'll let your Co-Writer know IF something's going right...

And...a request that "No outside writers to be used without the approval of both writers" will save ya considerable angst & lawyers..& give you both Equal Footing on future Changes that might be made to your Creation.

Good Luck with your co-writing...Two Brains usually ARE better'n one...you'll see!

Best Wishes & a Big Guy-Hug,
Stan
