Hi Dana,
Special?
I assume that means 'as I compare with other songwriters'.
I seldom compare myself with others because it's pointless. I can always find those better or worse than I am at everything - with the exception of being me. I'm the only one - at least until cloning becomes popular.
Which means that the combination of my filters, life experience, attitudes, philosophy, work ethic, musical skill level and sense of humor are what make me 'special' as a songwriter.
Whether that 'special' combination translates into good songs or not, I cannot say. For the most part, I like what I write, even if no one else does. 'Special' is a word that others give you - not one you would normally give yourself.
