You are an excellent speaker. I get what you mean and I also understand why people are resistant to learning formulas. I stumbled on most of the "rules of pop" just by playing around and it does pay to know them so you can then decide when to follow them and how and when to break them to achieve maximum impact.

It''s something you have to work on for years, and you have to be patient and loyal to what your trying to do or say.

to become a songwriter you need more than just the talent. You need connections, publishers etc and if you have non its bloody hard to get your stuff out there! you could have the best song in the world but if the publishers roster is full they will just turn you down. keep trying, contact as much people as possible, maybe you know someone who knows someone. Build a list of contacts, keep harassing them for advice on your material. you will make it in the end :D

I've been to several of Jason Blume's workshop and he is the real deal! he cares about your success and he KNOWS what he's talking about. Hits are not accidental, in professional music or in professional baseball :)

@mist8k Good luck. I find it's better to aim for something more around 60 though ;)

Surround yourself ...
Surround yourself with good music. Try to identify what it is in other people's music that you like. Steal it out of that persons music, change it a bit so it's unrecognizable, and put it into your music. Especially chord progressions. Everyone uses the same hit chord progressions. 1 4 5. 1 4 1. 1 5 1. 1 5 6 4. Beiber and Gaga have several songs that are the same exact chord progression, change for change, except they have different lyrics and vocal melodies over it. Reed Beeley

This guy wrote for Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys. If you want to make music like that follow his courses and you write a HIT! Wake up dude it's not about writing hits. Catchy melodies that stuck in the brain? Sheees please! There's already too much of that kind of annoying pop out there!

At first I thought he was trying to sell me something, then the interview got awesome. Thanks for just letting him talk. The guy is a genius in his line of work and that was a really great interview!

Hey, e'erbody, if you're looking for some original acoustic stuff, check out my channel. If you're not, then don't check out my channel. Either way, have a super day.

I walk around with ...
I walk around with Steely Dan songs stuck in my head all the time. The biggest mistake in songwriting is sticking to one formula. Each song you write should have its own formula. Don't assume your audience are idiots. Every songwriter should have eclectic taste in music so that you can build your musical vocabulary. Most importantly.. write for yourself! Write something you want to hear, cause you haven't heard it before. Songwriting is the easiest and hardest thing to do.

He's got a point on the catchy melody, but if your trying to aim for that it's gonna take a long time. The most famous songs and melodies, came by chance. The writer or artist heard a certain melody in his head and wrote that done. That's at least what I do.

yeah but everyone pandered to what the public wanted including the Beatles, who admitted to it. If you don't pander to the public {your customers} they won't buy your product. It's a business, no different to any other.
