Grab your coat, and get your hat Leave your worry on the doorstep Just direct your feet To the sunny side of the street.
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again.
I don't care how good a song is. If it holds back the storyline, stalls the plot, your audience will reject it.
Write what you feel. Write because of that need for expression.
A song just doesn't come on. I've always had to tease it out, squeeze it out.
A song must move the story ahead. A song must take the place of dialogue. If a song halts the show, pushes it back, stalls it, the audience won't buy it; they'll be unhappy.
