This guy's general theme in many of his videos is that rock music lost a lot when it went to digital recording, snapping things to the grid, writing songs with a drum machine and then getting the drummer involved later etc. He's big advocate of the magic of recording to analog tape, loud...

Max Martin has famously claimed that lyrics have to sound right, not make sense, and there's things like Ariana Grande singing "now that I've become what I really are", and plenty of very memorable English lyrics written by non-native speakers. On the other hand, if you're doing lyrical hip-hop...

Actually... I don't know what makes this one great, but I keep coming back to it. The beat is stylistically just right but not anything spectacular, the lyrics don't really make linear sense, the rhymes aren't especially dense and the flow isn't impressively fast. But it's a great song IMO...

I'm producing a project that's highly unlikely to make any money - it's a bunch of weird covers. The singer would like it to be on Spotify, but... how does that work? I remember back in the day of CDs and vinyl you could acquire mechanical licenses from the Harry Fox agency and it'd be like...

Not sure if it's a repost of something he wrote years ago, but... "I let my alligator mouth over load my jay bird legs about writing the ten commandments of songwriting. I ain't the moses type since I wouldn't suggest anybody follow me anywhere.. how bout some suggestions instead.. in no...

Do you record songs as soon as they're complete, play them live for years to gauge crowd reactions and optimize everything before recording, or somewhere inbetween? What's your reasoning?

A very specific question, but hey, this is probably the best forum to ask. I've been playing live in an acoustic duo with a singer and we've put a few covers on Youtube (see https://songwriterandproducer.net/community/threads/a-very-obscure-country-cover.26/ for those). All three use Ample's...

Many people have performed this song, including me just in December, but I've always liked Joe Ely's dramatic take the best. Though here's the original. The song is loooong, works in many arrangements and with many slight changes to the lyrics, and the melodies probably aren't the world's...

A Regan Brown song I literally heard on Radio Free Texas once, and it stuck in my memory so I looked it up later. It was on Youtube for a few years, but the link no longer works but you can see it accumulated 36 views while it was there, and it's now also gone from Spotify. There is a Paper Moon...

I'm Smolken. As an actual Aggie I can and do say "Howdy". I mostly make sample libraries as Karoryfer Samples but sometimes somebody talks me into playing actual music. Past projects have been extremely ridiculous. These days I'll sometimes do acoustic gigs with Haunted Hawks doing dark country...
