For all the singer/songwriters out there–this one’s for you.

Face it: as musicians, we want to get noticed–it sort of goes with the territory.  But even more than that, we want to stand out.  For singer/songwriters, especially, that means we want to write songs that stand out–songs that are unique, songs that make a mark. We think about the brilliant artists that have come before us and influenced us, and we want to be that artist that one day influences the direction of music–the artist that others claim as an influence.

Not a bad thing to want, really.
