July 12, 2015 at 7:44 pm+letsbm8s I took the bait and gave your song a listen … well, frankly, it's atrocious and you're nothing short of delusional if you genuinely think otherwise. I don't normally leave comments if i don't have anything nice to say, but since you asked, my suggestion is to not quit your day job.?

July 12, 2015 at 11:08 pmI've known songwriters and independent musicians in my life who were well above average in their craft but remained unknown. Some great advice came from a road toughened musician: "Don't trust in every negative comment about your music but don't trust in the flattering positives either. Do what you love and stay connected."?

July 12, 2015 at 11:17 pmFrom what David said in a few other videos I've watched. Put it out where ever you can. Youtube is good, but shotgun the internet with it. Something could be embedded into a page someone else goes to. Not everything you find is going to be somewhere obvious, so don't put it in obvious places.
