very true Art..
I hope you’re right…it sure would be great to hear some music that means something again..I know that makes me sound like an old man but c’mon…not much meaningful/pop rock anymore – I’ve written a few of what I think are “meaningful” songs over the years – after the dust settled and I listened back a decade later I didn’t cringe – to me that’s the test 🙂 it’s a fine line between voicing an opinion and preaching – a real writers tightrope…Jay
From what I’ve read and heard if you have a GREAT track with very general lyrics and a popular theme (love,happiness etc.) you can make some serious scratch through the right company BUT like anything else in this business it’s a crapshoot – Obviously instrumentals sell better and I’ve only had one placement in a doc w/a song with lyrics and that was a sad song that could work in a few scenarios – if you’re paying those vocalists it might not be worth your while – if you’re not and trying to move into another creative place by all means go for it..I do both but only have a handful of tracks with vocals that are general and not without specifics – I do have some somewhat strange songs with vocals that might work at the end of a movie or show though (even though they’re not “vague”) – Jay-
