The Greatest Song

I saw this on a music related FB page: 

Write the greatest song ever written and watch it disappear in the world's music void, unheard. Steal one line from a song and use it and guaranteed some music hierarchy will sniff it out instantly, am I right? 

And that got me thinking, because I thought it was missing the point a little bit. So I wrote this comment, and that is today’s blog. 

I want to write songs that make people feel something or think about something in a new way. The greatest song doesn’t exist, and never will, but there are millions of songs that have touched someone, somewhere and made their world a better place, if only for a brief moment. 

Don’t worry about getting lost in the crowd. Sing your song out loud, with pride and passion. For that person listening there quietly in the shadows, who needs a little bit of light right now. 

Because we are all that person sometimes.
