  9. To use a term that has surfaced, I will say "fake", fake lyrics, fake songs. To me, I'd say, all that music you hear today, those kids playing that bebop pop slop is all fake. These people just sit in front of a microphone and attempt to copy the power and the wisdom and the greatness of Adele, they sit in front of they microphones and blab. They blab all day, just blabbing whatever comes out of they're mouths. No rhythm no reason, just blab, trying to be Adele, and copycat off of her.
    You can blab all day long and maybe something will sound cute. Blab lyrics cute lyrics. Then, still copying Adele, if it has a flare or a twist, but Adele is real. She is writing the books. Cutesy music, cutesy lyrics, but they can't beat Adele. She is the Original.
    There have been two mega-monolithical periods in history that have occurred because of music.
    There is the B.B. and the A.B. period, then there is the B.A. and the A.A. period. These two periods have altered mankind and social life as we know it and as we shall see it.
    B.B. is Before the Beatles, and A.B. is After the Beatles. While B.A. is Before Adele and A.A. is After Adele.
    The year 1961 BB, and 1962 AB. 2007 BA and 2008 AA.
    All that pop today is fake music
    Songs are songs when they are made as Sting is saying, with an idea prior to the writing. A story, an intent. Music can draw lyrics out of you in it's own creative inspirational way. But to sit in front of a Mike with no thought or idea and just blab and derive something false out of that. That's is ignorance at its purest shape.

  13. This video is good advice in general, but you're going mostly for songwriting that will be easily accesible upon impact. Pop songwriting, if you will, and while there's nothing wrong with it, you're ruling out more obscure and poetic forms of songwriting as if they were merely attempts to sound clever. I agree, it's very easy to fall into pompous pretensiousness doing that, but some very brilliant lyrics have been written while exploring the realms of the psyche. I don't think Bob Dylan had a fully sketched out concept like Sting does when he was writing "Mr. Tambourine Man". Not every lyric is going to be absorbed and internalized at first listen, some songs hook you with intriguing language which makes you listen again, look up the lyrics, free associate in your mind, become engaged in the creative proccess of the artist. Some songs are not finished until a listener completes them in their head. Again, nothing wrong with trying to be economical with your writing or having a defined idea about what the song will convey, but without puzzling, complex lyrics we wouldn't have "Desolation Row", and that would be a damn shame. Overall, I think the best piece of advice is the last one: write, write, write.

    Edit: I wrote this rant because I found the video to be very interesting and, as a songwriter, I wanted to share my opinion on the matter, I was not trying to be dismissive at all.
