Our job is to believe...

As songwriters, we spend way too much time and energy worrying about "how" we are going to get to where we want to be. We read books, do market research and worry about how to get our songs in the right hands. Here's the problem from a songwriter's perspective.

This year I will...

First, I want to continue writing good music. I think that the stuff I am writing lately is better than anything I have written in the past. I want to continue that trend and keep devoting more of my time to writing.
Second, I hope to record a lot. I want to be able to record each song as soon as it is done. This is one of my favorite things to do. I love recording in the studio!! I will record a lot in 2009.
Third, I hope to collaborate with some other writers in town. I think sometimes it is a good idea to write with other people and see what happens. Plus, it is always good to write with up and coming artists. I will meet a few this year and hopefully write some future #1 hits.
Finally, I just want my music to get to the right people. It is that simple...write it, record it and get it in the right hands. I know it will happen this year.
So, there you go...simple and sweet. It sounds perfectly wonderful.
Have a great year,
Phil
