100,000!

That’s what my pal Gary Carey told me. And I just checked with Mother Internet and she says he’s right. Not that I ever doubted him, you understand.

That number is the amount of songs which are released EVERY SINGLE DAY on Spotify and other digital music streamers.

Gary also just asked me if I wanted to come down and write another song. (I think I’ve mentioned that I’m on a songwriting retreat). I told him that on this occasion I had this blog to write, but that I might come down at the very end just to add a word or two in order to get in there for the royalty cheque.

Yes, you’ve got to laugh.

And you might well ask - why add another drop of water to an infinite ocean?

But if you do have to ask that, then maybe songwriting’s not for you.
