Dear songwriters,
You are valuable.
We’re not talking "We love what you do and can’t imagine life without it” (although that’s true too). We’re talking money.
Money and music belong together. Specifically, money and songwriting belong together.
Oh yes, we aren’t supposed to talk about money and art, right? We forgot. That’s because we love to talk about money and art. When we don’t put those two things in the same sentence, we devalue the things we believe are valuable.
Again, you and the work you have spent your life dedicated to are valuable.
Sincerely,
SrYr
