Samuel,
Thank you for the explanation. I think you expressed it well. I have spent the last couple of years working on my mixing skills in my studio and songwriting is something I am trying out. I am pretty sure I can do it better with some (or a lot) of effort. It took me a long time to understand how to mix a song using compressors, eq, reverbs etc... But its been worth the time to me. I feel my recordings are so much better now then when I started.

It appears writing lyrics will take a similar effort which is fine with me. I have a new respect for those that can really mix a song well and I'm sure that will happen with lyric writing as well.

I am glad not to get a critique yet as this song is just not ready. I will work on a rewrite and post it soon. (hopefully)

It's kind of funny because I get what you are saying but I don't think I REALLY GET IT. Not yet anyway. Time to hit the books and continue to visit here to learn. If you have any suggestions on a book or other I would appreciate it.

And thank you for the suggestion. I will see If I can make something like that fit.

Back to work!

Ricky
