I read Gary Ewer's blog The Essential Secrets Of Songwriting earlier this morning and it started my motor revving.



Here is a snippet:


If you've been building your own catalog of songs over the past few years, and you've got some or most of it recorded, take some time to listen to those recordings, one after the other, and after each song ask yourself the following questions:
1.What’s this song’s most exciting moment?
2.What is innovative in this song? (What sets it apart from everyone else’s music in this genre?)
3.What happens in the first 15 seconds that makes someone want to keep listening?
4.Why would someone want to listen again to this song?
5.Does each song in my catalog offer my audience a unique and exciting musical experience?


Great advice. Check out the blog:
