That's a perfectly valid way to write songs! I like to find hooks or good lines and write songs around them :) I just looked up your profile, your voice is out of this world :)

Haha its silly all around. When you play classical music all your life, when you make a living from it, you become accustomed to reproducing the ideas made by someone else.
Its hard to create your own when the pinnacle has been already achieved. (At least thats what they teach you. :) )

Anyways, thank you for the nice comment. :)

Everyone has different experiences :) I find it's always best to try and surpass your own efforts than surpass everyone else's. You may find there's something you're the best at that other people aren't as good at. Just like there will always be people who do specific things better than you. I guess what I'm trying to say is, even though the pinnacle has been achieved, there are more pinnacles... :)
