You Probably Think This Song Is About You: Part III

So my “songs” yesterday must have been pretty bad, huh? I know, I know. I never said I was a pro, though, remember?

But seriously, how awesome would it be to be a songwriter? Did you know that the awesome Whitney of A “cheery” disposition is dating a fabulous songwriter? Feeling bold, I asked her for a bit of advice on my pipe dream, and she said:

Have you ever seen the movie Coyote Ugly? It’s like that. You have to start performing your songs out and getting them heard by songwriting publishers. Then, if you are good enough, the publisher will sign a contract with you and start demoing your songs out to artists who are making CDs. If the artist likes your song enough, then they will record it for their CD.

I don’t think they have too many opportunities like that out here in the cornfields of the Midwest, so for now, I’ll just let you all be privy to my innermost thoughts. But, wow, wouldn’t being a songwriter make for an awesome job?

What do you think of this batch of songs? I’ve always been sort of afraid to use people’s real names (how does Taylor Swift do it?), but notice I DID give it a whirl in one song. See if you can find it…
