Got A Song I Can't STAND - But My Wallet Might Like It

I've got a song about encouraging yourself to do more with your life, pushing yourself to be better, etc.

And I can't STAND this song.

"WHAT? You don't like your own SONG???"

No, I don't. 

But that's okay.

See, I learned as a photographer that not everybody would like my pictures. And even I didn't like all of them. 

I'd shoot something I thought would be really cool...and then I'd see it, in print or digitally, and think, "Meh, not that great."

That happened often enough that I learned not to take it personally. I realized that not everything I shot was good. 

And that was wonderful. It was very humbling - and refreshing. If I liked everything I shot, I wouldn't have learned anything new - and I wouldn't have been honest with myself about how to improve my pictures.

So I'm like that with my songs. Some excite me from the get-go, and they become my "classics." Others excite me at first, but not so much later. And I hate some of them right from the start.

But I learn by analyzing why I hate them. Is it a melody I can't fix because the song just wants that melody? Are the lyrics "blah"? Can I work with them, or not? It depends on each song.

But...would somebody else like the song? 

I figured out that I hated the song about "doing more" because it sounds like it belongs in a life insurance commercial. 

Then I heard KA-CHING!!!💲💵💸💰🤑

I have a business degree, I've run a business, and my name is Fortune. So I clearly have no problem with commerce.

I'm going to keep working on "this song I hate," because maybe somebody can use it in a life insurance commercial, or a lifestyle show, or...whatever.

I just needed to realize why I hated it...and why somebody else might like it. 

Who am I to keep them from using it??
