CONTRACT

Oh, I meant to say "I would like," but if you look at my previous post, I thanked you for the valuable advice. Maybe you didn't see it. Anyway, I've come to understand that there may not be a definitive answer to this question. It seems to depend on what one expects from this job, which, as I understand, is for the long term and requires perseverance. Thanks to everyone, and enjoy the music!
Best regards.

One thing's for sure and I was reminded about watching Taxi TV last night (great job, Marcus!)... Time spend whining about how awful everything is-- the money, the music business, Taxi, etc. is time that could be spent creating a song. No, that doesn't guarantee you'll make money on that song, but it's definitely a better use of time to meet your goals or even long shot dreams.

You could even channel your unhappiness about something into a song with a more universal theme such as love, breakup, relationships, etc. I was once at a business meeting and was pissed off about how ridiculously naive some of the participants were. I wrote the lyrics to a song called "Naive", changing it to a love relationship situation, collaborated for the music, production, and vocal (Marcus and Kali), and it ended up placed on The Young and The Restless. https://s.disco.ac/mqythwgfkfic

You could say that folks like me, cosmicdolphin, and Telefunkin should be writing more instead of spending time on here but there is one difference that was also mentioned on Taxi TV last night. We're spending our time helping people, not complaining. The difference? Besides the joy of "paying it forward", we build relationships with other Taxi members which results in these successful collaborations. Be someone that others would possibly want to work with- it goes a long way.

Critiqueing others tracks is pretty educational too, potential issues are easier to hear when you're listening objectively to music that's not your own.

You can then take that learning into your own tracks
