Reply To: Song-Fu 2
Well this whole thing has been pretty exciting and nerve wracking to this point. Obviously there's a group of talented folks participating. I have only listened to a few so far. Maybe half. Congrats to all who completed the task in such a short time. I've learned lately that I need a challenge like this to push me to get off the couch. The only real completed songs I can claim came out of the RPM Challenge(www.rpmchallenge.com). I'm up to 4 total songs so far. Everything else has been instrumental. Emphasis on the mental. I'll probably sign up if there is a third song fu as I have no illusions about advancing to round 2.
Let me say that I marvel at the sound quality and production of JoCo's work. There's no area of the subject of songwriting where he is lacking. I'd say Always the moon is a good song but the bar he has set for himself is ridiculous. That being said, I'd say it's not his best.
My tune on the other hand is in fact my best and in the end I guess I'll be happy if it's judged to "not suck".
