Whoa,

I am kind of saddened at the way this is going. I appreciate so much the opportunity to work with people when it is right feeling for me. I actually posted a whole remake of Subs music with a wild angry rock girl lyric,lol, but I deleted it. That does not mean that I do not love this type of post. I think it is an honor just to be given the chance to work on someone elses song, like a canvas that is half painted.

I worked probably a few hours on this, but that was my choice, because it was exciting and I do not regret it one bit. But I guess I did not think of it as a contest, but just another opportunity to learn and submit. Every single song I work on is more experience for me no matter what the reason I work on it is or where the song goes.

Now, I did not delete my post because I was upset, hurt, sorry for myself, or feeling left out. I did it because I am experienced enough to know it was not the right fit and there was no need to clog up the boards with it. If I had deleted it because of one of the previous reasons, I might have posted saying that I was withdrawing because I was hurt or mad etc, really hoping someone would write me back and console me and ease whatever it was I was feeling.....

Well, not really, because that is not how I work. I would have just deleted it and removed myself and left it at that. I know that some need more reasurance than others, and some need to win the whole pinata instead of one piece of the candy, but that has never been my degree of competitiveness. I like to give sometimes, hope someone likes it and accepts it, and in return, maybe someday the help will come back to me.

I like to express my thoughts and ideas on someone elses creation also, but I never, in anyway expect anything from them. I take no offense if I offer lines or suggestions on words or music and these do not grab the writer or performer. No one owes me anything for allowing me to offer my contributions.
I do not think it is an insult when something I submit is not used, because there are so many millions of ways people hear music, especially their own, and about as many different ways that it can be expressed. It is all in the preferences of the original person who created the song, and in the end the people who hear it.

I am wishing with all my might that Sub doesn't get a bad taste in his mouth and spit us all out and never post another fun opportunity as this because a small controversy has appeared. I was hoping we could start a regular post like this each week, or each month or something because I enjoy seeing people work together and the end product that comes from that team work.

We must learn not to want recognition so badly that it turns into sounding disgruntled, because there are a million opportunities to work with people if you have the right outlook on working with them. Everything we create is never going to be loved by everyone else in the world, we have to learn patience, perserverance and acceptance of rejection, if we are truly going to celebrate our acheivements.

I just like to ride the Peace Train singin all the way

Oh, by the way, do not apologize for your voice Sub. Never again apologize for it, celebrate that it is good.
