where is the topic about critics?

yep Roger
I agree wit hyou on the commenting on every song.
And people do put a lot of efort into sings and should not be brought down.
I do sometimes mention things that I tihnk might improve a song, or in my eyes it would but that is not to say it is right, but then on the opther hand it might help someone that never knew they needed help,lol.

I never saw any thread called critis I must say.
But I do like critisism, but it is not for everyone so I do not tell everyone what I tihnk of their songs.
one reason being what I said. They might be happy with what they have and are not looking for comments, might just want to share.
Another reason is they might not like what I say and I really do not like hurting peoples feelings so I am learning to keep quieter much more :lo:
also If I write something bad or something the writer does not like then it will look bad to other people reading and make them think I am some sort of loud mouthed heartless son of a newt.

I think if someone asks for comments esp[ecially critisism then fine, give them it,lol. but trying in a nice a way as possible..

Geeeez, I think after typing that I have just learned something new, or realised something more about myself.

Cheers

ROGER (BIG BRO) UYK and last but not least, here he is the famous last_rebel.
I wrote this, just because it sounded good. Well, I agree for 100%, that
- MY QUESTION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER.
- MY INTENTIONS ARE GOOD, BECAUSE, and this might be a MISUNDERSTANDING, I ASKED THIS TO IMPROVE MY ENGLISH, ESPECIALLY WHEN WRITTEN.
- IF I, OR ANOTHER CHORDIAN ASK TO CRITIC, ALWAYS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICS, MY SONG, NOT ABOUT THE TUNE, BUT ABOUT THE LINES I WROTE, IF THEY ARE CORRECT, AND IF I MISSPELLED A WORD, OR THE WORD SEQUENCE IS WRONG, EVEN WHEN YOU TRY TO PLAY IT, AND YOU HAVE THE FEELING THAT YOU SHOULD USE ANOTHER CHORD, SOUNDING BETTER.
AND REBEL, EVERY SINGLE WORD IS CORRECT, as is ROG & KEN.
If someone tells me: this really sucks, and you ask why, they don't really know why.

Professional Critic writers are almost always those who failed to write songs. I was also a DOC in the biggest theatre in Belgium, and at least 5 times, they phoned me to come, why: TO PLAY THE DIRECTOR in scenes about "sickness", about "how to die as realistic as possible. ( the wedding reception was in that theatre, 100 years old, and one of the most beautiful early 1900 decor). It is also strange to be an artist doctor, they were my heroes, 10 years before.
There was one guy, a so called professional critic who HATED every play, written in papers (the best was that the only good critic was, the doc who directed the "die" scene, boys THAT was fun). They all called me. That guy well he had a face to hit real hard, and after one year, on the radio, newspapers, the result was that the worse the critic, the more people came to see this "play."
So even if I ask to correct me, you still don't like to do it? I can live with that, because you are telling the truth. Maybe the best solution is to do what you tell, I am aware that even when asked you and I are afraid to "hurt someone's feelings," while I asked to CORRECT words. It is maybe unusual to ask this, and I do hope that this answer is accepted.
all my love for all of you, and thanks for these "logical answer". It is difficult indeed, even when I ask to correct words, there is still the "maybe I hurt him" factor.

Ken, my friend, I was so busy yesterday. You know that kind of days, unexpected people on unexpected moments, and the more I think about it, the more are the odds that I wrote it, without pushing SUBMIT.
I am, finally busy to try and put some songs here. I have hundreds, empty lyrics, lalala & lyrics, some with lyrics.
What is strange here: the fact that when I start a song, it takes very little time.
I just posted a song, written in 2001, yep, 6 months after my crash. I have at least a dozen of songs about this event. It makes sense, it changed my life, it ruined my life, I was proud, good looking (so they say, the woman), a fancy expensive car (you have to see this as my living room, spending more hours in my car) I was quit popular, all girlfriends, 15-25 years younger, a ** you mentality, going where I wanted to go, and in a split second = finished. I started again, even more motivated than when I finished my studies, and where usual patients grow with their doctor, my patients 75% = 18-25 years. Strange, and 3 years later, I had 25 patients a day, still growing. I stopped working, I couldn't stand the pain, I lived on pain killers, and was destructing myself. There was no other solution Ken, and I was insured so high, that, it will start soon, I will earn more money, than I earned working. As long as you can prove everything. What I don't understand is the fact that if you have mental problems, you get nothing. I just have to show one x-ray, and everyone stops talking. So a lot of these songs are about this event. The one I posted now, is one of my favourites.
