IME most people aren't actually any good at anything. And songwriting is just like any other skill, you have to stick with it from poor beginnings to start producing stuff that other people really want to listen to. After all I can guarantee that no-one on here was a instrumental virtuoso the first time they picked up a guitar or bass. You have to practice regularly. Songwriting is exactly the same. 3 hours ago, SteveXFR said: As long as there's a recording in a digital format and digital technology exists then software to play the recording is possible. It's extremely likely though that music will be copied over to new formats as they are created. I'm not sure the resolution of recordings will increase significantly, mainly because the limiting factor will be the brain of the listener. One place resolution will increase is on streaming platforms because they are a bit crap. Of course our ancestors in 1000 years time will still need a clue how to turn those zeros and ones back into an audio signal that we will recognise. Just because it is digital don't mean that it will be easy to decode once the current concepts of word-length, sampling rate and bit depth have been lost, and if musical ideas have significantly moved in during the intervening years how do you know when it "sounds right".

But with regard to the post I was relying to, I wouldn’t want a terrible song to be my legacy. If I turned out to be a great songwriter, however… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songwriting is exactly the same. “Who Knows Where the Time Goes”, Sandy Denny’s best-known and most-lauded song, was apparently the 4th or 5th song she ever wrote. And Kate Bush wrote “The Man With The Child In His Eyes”, which in my opinion is one of the best songs ever written/recorded, when she was 13; she was 16 when it was recorded. So whilst you would hope to get better at writing songs as you go, it certainly isn’t a hard and fast rule. Speaking personally, some of the best songs I’ve ever written were done in my twenties and I’m sure many infinitely more well-known and successful artists could say the same.

And some my most favourite songs that I've written were in my twenties too. But by then I'd had six or seven years of writing stuff that wasn't as memorable.

I'm sure there will be people around in 100 and 1000 years time, what their civilization / society will be like is however anyone's guess !
