How am I getting tied to AI ? lol . I don't write political songs for this reason . Radio would never play it , They like happy little songs to get people thru the day starting at 6am

right, but you didn't have to add AI.. since you, yourself have used ai.. you're implying that sid does not write his own lyrics, which in most cases is not correct. Sid also was going after the subject not the lyrics or music. so you jab doesn not apply.

Are you talking to me ? I've never talked to Sid , I could carless who uses AI . I got my own problems on radio play or streaming it thru a Nashville company , You can count on it won't be a political song
This thread is about Toms song, Nothing to do with me and AI

Guys, we're getting off track again. If you have issues with a member's behaviour, please PM me. It's my role to deal with them. These kind of posts merely increase negativity.
This is a song thread.

Let's agree that we both disagree. 😎

You don't make any sense. it's clear that all you want to do is rail.

Enough gentleman. Let's get back to discussing the song, or I'll have to close this one down.

Oh, those songs are out there. Most of them, I feel, are disingenuous. Most come off as phony ways to tap into a market.
In fact, I'm playing around with that very (working title) premise, "Have song, will Travel" 😋

Good song. Very Dylanesque for sure.
My political view-Let's just say that something has to change.
Peace to all😀

@Johnb68 couldn't have stated that better myself; 'something has to change' for certain!

Not to pick on the OP but it generally isn't a good idea to post political songs. I have a few of them myself but I'd never publicly post them for this very reason. People tend to get so emotional about these issues that it takes away from the original intent of the thread, although I do admire when a person like the OP has the conviction to stand up for what he believes. It's just not for me. It's like RainyDayMan says, the purpose for this forum is to share and enjoy the wonderful gift we all have of creating music.
I'll get off my soapbox now. 😉

I've only just come to the same conclusion myself and I feel a lot better for it.
Well said JB

First off, what or who is the "OP"?
I don't agree with it not being a good idea to post political songs. As long as they are done in good taste, without dragging the lyric through a sewer, why not? If people get triggered, it's on them. We all have to wear our big boy pants and keep from over-reacting to a song. It's just a song, after all. 😎
Amen!
I'm sure there are some good ones, but all those who abuse our trust to become fabulously rich are to be loathed, in my book. 😝

OP is short for Original Poster (internet speak)

Well you got your wish polarizing comments on a political song

Tom, political songs aren't being banned. You can post them.
There's been discussion on how best to deal with them, and other sensitive topics here: https://www.thesongwritersforum.com/vanilla/discussion/1442/sensitive-topics-please-read-and-comment#latest
The direction we're heading in is to provide an option to the person posting the song to request others not to debate the topic and focus on the song itself and how it can be improved. And if they do, then we all need to respect that.
If you, or others, are happy to discuss the topic as well as the song, you don't need to do anything different, just post as usual. The discussion will need to be civil of course!

Didn't mean to offend anybody. It's just that on all of the forums I've ever been on political comments, songs, etc all seem to become very long and argumentative. It shouldn't be, of course. We all have a right to speak our minds on anything but personally I've come to avoid it mainly because I don't like conflict. I'd rather make friends.

You're right there John! These things certainly do go off the rails at times, and not just here!
Like you, I value friendship over winning the debate.

Thanks, Rainy....I figured, but wanted to know for sure.
C'mon Elvis, it's not that I'm out to solicit descent. I would love to hear from everyone how they enjoy my song.
But on the other hand, civil debate is great, as long as it doesn't get nasty. Again, we are all adults here.
The first 70 or 80 songs I wrote were almost always focused on love. I got a lot of guff over that, as well. It seems there will always be someone out there that takes offense.
Thanks, again, Rainy.
