@PaulAds Thanks for the laugh Paul!
I'm firmly in the camp of accepting whatever critique comes my way. I hope no one feels like they have to tiptoe around me,or be afraid of causing offence,because there is certainly no need. I don't just post songs to be admired,though you can do that too,if you like.
When I post a song in 'Finished Songs',it's usually...er.. finished
However if someone offers advice on any part outside of a rewrite,I will consider and possibly take it onboard,then alter the track accordingly.I did this in the current song.
You all know how it is,we are immersed totally in a new track and it's very easy to lose objectivity,effectively we stop hearing properly. This is why fresh,honest ears are a real boon and this place has always been good at doing this...as Paul says,politely!
I understand it's difficult for some to be constructive on tracks they don't dig,it's easy to say,'It's not my thing,but it's well produced' and although that's a bit of a backhanded compliment,it's not going to cause any wars! If I really can't hear any value in a track,nor any way to help,I won't say anything at all.
If a song can be reviewed constructively and supportively,it's a great thing. I love the way this forum has brought out the best in songwriters though encouragement and technical help,I for one feel I've grown more content in my own skin in my time here.
So...after all that horseballs above,yeah,if someone has something to point out in any of my tracks,I'm more than happy to receive that knowledge before going down the path of the abusive PMs.
As you were.
Davy.
