[VERSE 1] When we parted ways, that was long overdue. All we did was argue, there was no me and you. Years went by ,I found new love and moved on with my life. I quickly forgot you, and all the endless strife
So first of all, this is so dull and unpoetic, and not a single good line in it.
All your trying to do with it is get to yourr chorus.
Songs ate like women they need foreplay.
Its not a bad opening line, because it gets right to it, you know what happened.
Lack of response has nothing to do with the quality, and you know it
There is truth in that. But the problem is that you are in complete denial about the causative factors. And it does not look like that will ever change.
So rather than fixing it, you are going to continue the pattern of calling anyone who disagrees with you a talent-less hack or some other such insult.
its robot songs create a fake person whatever you like to call yourself and get comments on FB
There is a real good idea for Dom. Create an AI avatar and put your songs up on Ytube, Fbook, Instagram, X...and see what kind of responses come from people who are not part of a "social club."
Compliments or criticism from strangers with no motivation not to say how they truly feel, is the most reliable kind of feedback that can be had. That is what focus-groups are about.
I think I may do that myself. Great suggestion Ben.

The general audience is really all that matters, but you won't find regular listeners on sites like these.
You find people doing the same thing you are.
Youtube has some of the best indie singer songwriters with videos that have 49 views, and three comments.
I truthfully don't like your songs. I don't like your typical subject matter and the lines that you quote, that light you up, and you say, make them great...don't even strike me as good, much less great.
So, if I comment on them and want to keep you from attacking me, I have to lie. If I don't comment on them, you rattle on about how I am boycotting them and leading a conspiracy...which I am not. I have turned down two PM invitations to harass you.
There is another personality in the past who occasionally put up songs that burnt my ears. I could not find something in them to compliment. Rather than lie, I just left them alone.
The difference between you and him is that he never accused me of leading a conspiracy to boycott them. He never said anything anti-social to anyone.
The moral of the story... If someone doesn't like your song, respond to the crit once and move on. They aren't awarding Grammys here.

That's ok if you dont like my songs .
But I find it hard to belive you like any song here. But like the people better.
I dont think we come herea and expect to hear songs that we like.
We have the Beatles and Paul Simon and Billy Joel and Springsteen and tom petty to like.
You dont like Springsteen either, so that kinda puts your not liking my songs in perspective.
But your not coming here to find great music you just love.
You come as a fellow songwriter looking for feedback, cause you write and want to know what others think.
If you ignore them or lie to them, you are doing them a disservice, and I guess you expect the same.
If I review somebody, I in no way think this is going to me my favorite songwriter to listen to.
I hate nost music on the radio, I hate alot more music than I like.
Theres a difference between acknowledging what somebody is trying to do, and loving it
