Recently, two friends of mine asked that I write them songs. My friend from Canada is a classic jazz singer with a nightingale voice. The other is sultry soulful singer with the voice of a warming voice. The dilemma I'm having is that I do not write songs. Hell, I don't listen to enough "sung" music to construct a solid and cohesive verse. Even after years of floating around in musical circles, I haven't been inspired to construct a song.
I'm reading lyrics after lyrics of great song writers. Wow, I'm impressed with the beauty of songs. I just wonder whatever happened to great song writing? Maybe, if we improve song writing standards, then we may be able to improve the quality of singing from today's so-called vocalist.
