THERE’S A GOOD JOKE GOING AROUND
The music business has done a good job of discouraging pirating by releasing a lot of music nobody likes.
FORMULA
People use a formula to write songs. The Beatles wrote what they felt and had fun doing it. We wouldn’t have Eleanor Rigby or Yesterday if they wrote to formula. They didn’t fit the mold. Kids today are told what to do, sing, and how to sing it. Producers write the hooks and the arrangements. It’s all mechanical and predetermined. From choreography to
The Beatles innovated. It was all new. Something new on every album. This became even more pronounced with the release of Rubber Soul. Things got progressively newer with each new release after that. Sgt Pepper’s was a milestone. Magical Mystery Tour gave us more. Abbey Road was one of the most influential albums of its time. Let It Be brought us back to what the Beatles started as, a bunch of guys playing songs together in a band.
My friends and I talked about the weird idea that someday Beatles music would be old fashioned. It took 30 years for it to happen. But it did happen. It was so new and fresh that it stayed relevant for decades. It still is relevant, but it does sound old, because it is. it’s all been done before.
There were bands who tried to sound like the Beatles, and some succeeded. Badfinger did a great job of making songs that sounded like new Beatles releases. But they were just songs. Great songs, but just songs. They didn’t try to innovate or be something new. They tried to be the same thing the Beatles has already done.
There were many experimental bands in those days. But experimentation led to unlistenable noise. The Beatles were an experimental band putting out hits. Listenability is the number one factor of any song. If it’s not listenable, it’s no good. If it’s listenable, lyrics don’t matter. People will listen. If it’s highly listenable, people will listen a lot.
Today, people are making music that has been done before. Some have rejected the highly produced and layered sound for just an acoustic guitar and vocals. Do you know how tired that sounds? Or a piano and vocals. If you can make your song stand out with just a guitar or piano, you’ve got a good song. But please, do something to make it better. The jinga jinga jinga of the guitar is a very tired sound. Time to move on.
Then there are those who really try. They’re writing nice lyrics with a good message, they’re writing clever tunes… but again, it’s all done on the same instruments and with the same beats… It’s all been done before. We need something new.
When the Beatles showed up they injected life into a tired pop music industry. When Zeppelin showed up, they injected life into a tired rock industry. Give us something new and exciting. That’s what keeps things moving.
No one is giving us anything real and new and exciting. They’re giving us plastic copies of same old with different colors of paint.
Autotune, choreography, producers writing your hooks… it’s all formulaic processed crap.
We need someone who is tired of baby steps to take a death-defying leap and land on their feet. Music is art. And that’s what it takes to make great art. But it has to be real. It has to come from the heart. Otherwise, it’s just another form of processed crap.
