Some songs capture a fleeting moment, while others leave an everlasting mark on an entire generation. More than a decade after their iconic 2011 hit “Titanium,” David Guetta and Sia have reignited their musical chemistry with “Beautiful People,” a euphoric dance anthem that blends soaring melodies with raw emotion.

2/3… knew you had opted in in the first place. This is only JUST ONE of the newer landmines #Musicians, #Artists and #Songwriters have to navigate as the #StreamingPlatforms individually now also all have their own #Scams and #AI farkery in progress.
We’ve not fallen prey to any of these (thankfully) but as the situation deteriorates it’s becoming clear if your not keeping your musics total chain of possession under lock and key there will be shenanigans somewhere along the line…
In the process of consciously uncoupling my life/energy/information/anything from Google. I have been using Google Keep for organising lyrics over the past few years, but am wondering what apps you Fedi #songwriters might suggest for writing organisation.
My needs:
* syncing between mobile & desktop
* intuitive tagging system
* text is a must, but integrated audio recordings would be great
* free is nice, but wouldn't mind paying a few quid for something highly rated.
Suggestions?
Sundaaaay! This is one of my favourite events and I can't wait to play my songs and hear my fellow songwriters' brilliant creations.

Peggy Lee wrote “It's a Good Day" while doing the housework. Recently married with a young daughter, she’d semi-retired from performing, but the melodies and words kept flowing from her.
“It’s a Good Day” was released on 16 November 1946 and reached number 16 on the charts the following January. Peggy Lee duetted the song with Bing Crosby on four occasions, and many artists subsequently recorded their own versions.
The album included her version of “Love Has No Pride,” a heart-rending song about lost love and longing, written with her childhood friend Eric Kaz. Stephen Holden, reviewing a performance by Ms Titus for The New York Times in 1983, called it “one of the finest ballads of the rock era.”

Tonight: well on his way to getting into the conversation of my favorite young songwriters going these days. John Craigie, equal parts poet and comedian. Makes me laugh, makes me cry. That good. Great Sunday night show at Bowery Ballroom.
“All Falls Down” is a stunning fusion of future-pop and melodic bass, where vulnerability and strength blur into one.

"Never My Love" is a #pop standard written by American siblings Don and Dick Addrisi, and best known from a hit 1967 recording by #theAssociation. The #AddrisiBrothers had two #Top40 hits as recording artists, but their biggest success as #songwriters was "Never My Love". Recorded by dozens of notable artists in the decades since, in 1999 the music publishing rights organization #BroadcastMusicInc (BMI) announced it was the second most-played song on radio.

Something that I don't talk about much... I've been hanging out with a group of old hippie #songwriters.
I used to write flash fiction and short stories all the time before it became a job, and wrote reams of really angsty poetry as a teen, so I'm seeing if those old mental muscles still work and how they might approach #lyrics.
I know nothing about music theory or writing the music to go with the lyrics, but It's been fun. Our next meeting is Tuesday. I have my first draft. I'm excited.
