Yes, I get that love is one of the strongest feelings and that most songs are about broken love. Still, I get pretty tired of the theme. Actually, you really want songs that make you happy. Not much of my time is on sad notes or angry notes, I'm pretty happy so the songs I like tend to be in that way as well.
Also, most songs that are sought after for placements are happy. Even with playlists they are more or less seeking happy songs. If the world gives you lemons, make lemonade is the proverb for today.
Try to write a happy powerful song. That is actually what I'm looking for.
Yes I’m going back to Taiwan and Taipei for GMA (Golden Melody Awards) in end of June. It will be fantastic. I had blast last year and meet so many good people over there.
This will really be the jumping for some of our acts in to the Asian market. Now I can follow up some of the leads we got last time and it looks better than ever before.
I have some more festivals going on that I will speak on. It will be a hectic summer and early autumn. Well let’s do the adventure while you still can do it. Don’t wait do it right away. I guess that is one of the driving forces in my life. I want to do it now, not later.
I have been waiting a week for several things to go through. You really get frustrated. And then it happens and because of that you get several other things going on and in the end you have so much crazy good things on your hand that you just smile the whole time.
I have been waiting for Swedish Television to start broadcast Min Squad where Rebecka and Sanna from the Magnettes are participating. And today out of the blue the first episodes came on. Same time the first things around Summerfest went out and Pollstar had put The Magnettes as support act to Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Then I got a mail around another artist and a deal in the UK. Can write so much about that one but that was really great.
It was just piling up, and then the big thing came. It was this message that you just don’t believe that you just saw. Of course it has to be secret for now but it’s really, really great if it turns out as we want.
Well I have a lot of work to do in front to go to Youbloom in Dublin tomorrow shit early in the morning. Still I will smile the whole way.
“If i'm close the end, I say time well spent.” The line is from Adées latest single “Make My Day”. And I guess it’s the essence of why I do this. I work with I love and with so many talent people I’m just amazed to spend time with.
Right now I have worked from 7:30 in the morning and it’s 1 in the morning. I had 35 minutes lunch, and a hour dinner. Still the time just flew away. This is the great part I don’t have a boring second and it feels more like I want to do more. Still I know I have to end this working day. Tomorrow is meeting with the conference group at Live at Heart in Örebro. More meeting more great people, more things that will my life really exciting and joyful.
No I wouldn’t change it for a minute even if it sometimes seems in the blog that I’m surrounded by idiots. I’m not, most is very brilliant. Still to explain how things work I need to put in these mistakes. Hopefully that someone reads them and don’t need to make them. And can move on and do some other mistakes. Mistakes are the things that drive you forward.
And to the artists that I work with, you are the reason why I get up every day to bring out the wonderful things you create and be a part of it.
Was just listening to a new artist. All the songs are just different themes of broken relationships. Okey this is what touch us much. Easy to write about since you need to get that out. Still the most successful songs is not about that. They might have that theme, but still make it to something positive like this two.
Most of the time happy songs are the thing that people are looking for to play. Sure we love to have that really cry song from when we broke up one time. We really need more happy song in the demo phase. I don’t know how many of these sad songs we pick off because of the th3eme. So sit down now and write a happy song.
Whatever I write in the blog you can’t do things wrong. Okey they are easier ways and yes you might not spend money on things that leads to nowhere. But you know what; if you do the world won’t go under. Everything is fixable, it’s not life and death, this is fun music.
Actually one of the bigger problems is doing nothing. I get more and more people relay terrified to release something. They might steal my copyright. Maybe I don’t get the best deal. Is this really the best way?
You will make errors. And in many cases you really can’t get the best deal or things because you are not there in your carrer yet.
Okey so you sing a shitty deal and they take control over your song. What the hell, write a new better one. The only mistake you can’t do is that you give that one away as well. If you don’t learn from your mistakes well then you are in deep shit.
But most learn, and they actually do things fine as long they do somethings. So the two death rules are, not do anything, do the same mistakes all over again. Part of that everything is fixable.
