Our mission is to find the greatest songs ever written. Here there is only one musical genre. Good music ! If it's good, we like it. It does'nt matter if it is British Rock, Classical, Pop, Soul, Rap, Jazz, Country... If it's good, we want to know about it.

What makes a good song ?
Well you have tangibles and intangibles ( definable , UNdefinable)
tangibles: genre (pop , country , soul...)
intagibles: you (what makes you unique, desire, star quality)
if the song was created and performed properly - your
essence (experiences, personality) will be captured inside the song - just like a
photograph.
This is most easily accomplished by the singer songwriter because
they have absolute control over the songs creation and performance.
This is more difficult for a band - for many reasons (that's for
a different blog). when singer songwriters write songs, their songs fit
like a glove.
lets look a 2 artists who "had it all together".
Nicolette Larson and Paul Davis.
Artist: Nicolette Larson
Official Website: http://www.nicolettelarson.com/
Song: Lotta love
what do you think this song says about this artist ??
what vocal qualities stand-out ??
Artist: Paul Davis
Official Website: https://myspace.com/pauldavisofficial/
Song: Cool Night
if you had to say what these songs reflect about each artist, what's
your guess ??
For me,
Paul Davis - cool night = southern gentleman
Nicollete Larson - lotta love = innocente but adventurous
what do you think ??
