It's so true. Every song I write or begin to create, has to stand alone on an acoustic guitar, piano, or my uke. In fact, I am doing a ton of ideas on my acoustic for YT shorts. People really dig them and it's such a great way to showcase how a song comes into existence. My channel is new, but the whole channel is dedicated to teaching more people to become musicians. John is a smart dude and makes some great points.

I remember when I first heard "Why You No Love Me", I thought it sounded awfully familiar, but my research to find what made it sound so familiar was fruitless. A few months later I saw the Apple music interview and he said the exact same thing about that song, that is, it sounding very familiar, but when you look for it you'll come up empty handed. I've never experienced that type of a connection with an artist before!

@@robotomo4249 It is a very common chord progression in the European pop music of the eighties…You may as well check Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro - Stumbling in. The same chord progression, the same mood, but I still think that I Just Call will be closer because of the word “care” in the similar closing position. When he sings “why you no will be there”, I subconsciously recall the “and I mean it from the bottom of my heart” from Wonder’s chorus.

@@dylanphelan3010 🤣 There's more than a little truth there. However, unless you leap out of the womb as a famous rock star with wealthy supportive parents, becoming a good professional musician requires not only both skill and handiwork, but also dedication and sincere study, and when you've finally reached a professional level of skill and handiwork, unlike plumbing and electrical work (which require some study and only a minimal level of customer satisfaction), as a musician, you will have to beg door-to-door for work, and you'll find scant opportunity, and even less monetary reward for the time spent learning your craft. And employers will always be trying to scam you or cheat you. The other two professions I mentioned just sit by the phone and take as many orders as they can handle, set the fees and screw the customers. Do I sound cynical?
