SongWriters

moderated - created 08/28/07
This is a tribe to share and enjoy origional songs and Music
Whenever possible we provide links to audio and video(such as you-tube)
The loneliest feeling in the world is creating music alone
Here we can all share and give constructive critism...and expand our musical minds
Let us know when and Why you wrote the song
Who are your influences...feel free to post lyrics and links to other insperational artists as-well
And please post photo's of you and/or your band in our photo gallery as well as cool links to your bands homepage
....................................................................................................................................................................................
Please know that it is advised that you do copywrite all works with the library of congress....I do..it's only $25 dollers (for all the songs you can fit on a disk or cassett tape)
If you don't have $25 at this time:
Poor mans copywrite
Mail your songs to yourself (and never ever open it) the postage return stamp with the date will serve as a basic copywrite (although I wouldn't trust it to hold up in court against any big time A&R guy's)

f*** lawyer fee's...that's a scam....
