If you’re a songwriter the best thing you can do everyday is to finish and send the song.
And by “finish” I mean, get it to a point where you believe it will get a reaction.
And by “send” I mean to the people you co-wrote it with, or to your A&R, or to your manager, or your bandmates, or people who want you to send it.
Songs are incredibly potent. They’re a powder keg of potential excitement and action.
Hit send more.
Get more songs out there. Not necessarily to the public (although that wouldn’t be bad either), but to the world around you. The world that is looking for a song to take and do things with. They take the song, attach themselves to it, and pass it along to someone else, taking a little credit for themselves.
The more you hit send the more reactions you’ll get. The more reactions, the more people will remember the song and ultimately that you were the original sender.
Hit send more.
p.s. Important note here: you’re not in control of the timeline of the reactions or the reactions themselves. That’s ok. Focus on your part of the bargain.
