Bill, I'm having a songwriting crisis (again). I seem to periodically flit between complicated chords, interesting harmony and trying to write geoundbreaking crazy stuff and just simple diatonic stuff with powerful melodies, more focused on the emotional conveyance - squeezing as much emotion out of a simple idea as possible, rather than trying to convey something super-interesting and harmonically spicy. I have about 15 full tracks I want to record for some kind of release, but they're all so different - some are pretty wild and others are just 3 chord ABABCB style things. Is it wise to try to release them anyway as they are, or do you think that kind of thing won't sound cohesive. I can't tell which path I wanna go down and I'm panicking
you won't know the answers to any of these things until you start doing it. maybe to lower the stakes, you could try something much much much shorter. that's a weird trick that i don't hear about too many other people doing and yet it was the only thing that seemed to work for me
