Yep, would have to agree that upbeat numbers are the way to go if you want to make it as a songwriter.

Problem is however, that most songwriters are soulfull manic depressives, wrenching their guts out.

Every songwriter knows, that the pinacle of there achievement, is to bring a crowded room to absolute silence, with a song of sheer beauty, that it way beyond anything that has ever been played.

Fantasy land ? Of course, but what a great feeling it would be. I've only ever seen it done twice, in a club/pub venue, and it really was goose bump stuff.
