Tell me if I am wrong, but this song sucks

[hiredgun]

You R wrong! Technically it blows, it may seem like terminology but it takes less effort 2 suck than blow . And this song was definitely written by commitee. No 1 person could come up with that many cliches' , though I've tried ! I'm sure I can do it with practice ...something to work towards. This is what Nashville wants ? Only the highest caliber writing ? But no forwards from Taxi. Oh yeah newbies need 2 play it cool... sorry lost my head. It's just that I've heard 3 songs ... today...all on Taxi that are BETTER than what I'm hearing on the radio and that is NOT IMHO that is anyone who has working ears and at least half a brain. Derek's song DEFINATELY is better no doubt. (OH yeah Derek You spell million with 2 L's 0) Hope i haven't offended anyone, but this has been a pet peeve of mine long b4 I ever heard of TAXI.hiredgun

Untrained ears maybe?Hey Arthur, have you ever once submitted a song to a publisher or an industry panel? It'll be analyzed until your head spins, so you might want to take a look at it with a critical eye before they do.CamLike I told Perry, maybe if you wrote a hit song, your publisher would smile and offer you a good contract Just kidding!And why go thru a publisher? I always went straight to the artist. Worked for me. heheBut yeah, you're right about publishers and industry panels. Too bad some writers have to subject themselves to such tortureous beatings. Not too much fun IMHO. I say, write the hit song, then go in and own the place

[mojobone]

Yeah, there's a point to analysis when a song doesn't work; when it works, nobody asks why, they jes' tap their feet, hum along and sing when they get to the chorus-but even "Yesterday" is not a perfect song and might be rejected by screeners because of the one clunker line.
