Have you looked into song writers guilds? I wrote a song as a child through a guild that would advertise to record companies that was purchased for a measly 600 dollars but was huge to me at the time. The purchase was made anonymously so I don't know what artist has it but I have my suspicions that it went to Taylor Swift. Only 1 line of my song was used so it is possible my song wasn't used at all and someone else in the world pulled that string of thought together at the same time as I. ("you're the reason for the tear drops on my guitar")

Good songs though aren't easy. Yeah you're right though.

I played some songs I wrote, for Willie Nelson once, just me and him.

But they were lousy, he was nice about it though.

Okay that'll work yeah.

Wow, that's impressive. I never got anything going.

That's a good idea but I'm getting old, now what?

I wrote a great song back in the day that woulda worked for Olivia Newton John but I only had the chorus and didn't finish it.

Seems so hard and yet easy at the same time.

I used to pitch country songs to a studio in Pasadena TX near the old Gilley's.

They recorded 'Heart Don't Fail Me Now' (good song, the writer played it on his acoustic for us) and 'Bluest Heartache of the Year' another great one that got some traction. First one though just did so so.

Man, that sounds like something I should try and do.

Wish I'd have known that. But I wouldn't have listened anyway.

Hundred percent.
