Subject: RE: Can someone do me a big favour please?
Guest who wants the favour - your lyrics are okay.. I'm sure with the right interpreter you could produce a really nice piece of music.

Guest who dare not speak his name - I write the way I want. I don't need useful pointers from you or anybody else. i don't why you have chosen to insult my work - maybe you think I was rude to Guest One - no insult was intended . maybe our e-mails crossed in the post - he hadn't posted the lyrics when I wrote - and I was beginning to wonder what the hell he was talking about.

i don't need to insult anybody, neither do you. Few songwriters make money. i think the PRS colecting agency said that only 2 or three percent make over a thousand a year from songwriting. Yet we put our resources and talent on the line to produce something. Several of my middle aged colleagues have died without ever seeing their work on a major label. But I don't think they would have regretted a minute of the time or a penny of the money they spent trying to create something beautiful.

ask yourself why you need to go through life being hurtful. If you keep deveoping a talent to abuse, one day it will be someone you care about counting the seconds til they can get away from your company.
