Guide to getting comments on songs
How to get comments on songs, the age old question. I really don't have many ideas except trying to be too funny won't work. Good songs help, ofc. Commenting other people's songs might help. Having a good story for the song might help also. Having good lyrics might also help. Especially if they are put available on the thread. And now I hope somebodies with good ideas to step in to give more good tips on this matter. Edit:what might be bad is change the song you are already sent to be listened to others for any reason.

Definitely comment on other people's stuff, it will be reciprocated
Thank people if they comment, individually if possible.
Don't flood the first page with tunes, that's asking too much from people.
Get involved in collabs from time to time.
Don't remove the song/tune if it doesn't immediately get comments, give it time.

Well, I have some removals done not because instant comments but because I felt it was the wrong song after all. And I have also put too many songs on the first page. I need more control in these things, gotta think things through. Good. More tips if possible. This thread can be helpful to many, but not sure.

OK, I admit that I am a restless soul. But I have not takem songs off because of noT getting instantly feedback. I made it because I have troubles deciding which tune too put up. Instead I have put too often tunes up that I regret. Erroneously I thought it would not matter as it is not mandatory to answer to every time. But I am restless and that is one of my bad attributes. It does not look nice if I all the time try to get comments. Continues when I get out of this mall. H*******ish mall.

I wasn't inferring that you did, but some people do, and it's disappointing to find an 'empty' thread.

Well it looks like I did and I am not trying to accuse you of saying that it just happens from my side too easily. It is my doing that I overload the forums and even this thread is going a bit in the wrong direction. Well I did start it semi serious but t got serious. I wish I could restart this forum stay but I would probably do it again.

Hi,
I think it depends on the situation.
I'm not looking for attention, but letting people know it's there is not asking for attention ... it mostly just an awareness thing, letting people know it's there if they are interested sometime.
I come from a literary huge thing, and I don't want to be a part of it, because there were way too many saidistic mofo's involved that were not pleasant to deal with, and we're still dealing with removing those leeches from our scalps ... but, in general, if the material is good, and has its points and abilities, I sincerely doubt that many folks will fail to get a look at it, and learn something. With one huge exception. Today, with the Internet, the literary side of things is more difficult and the cynicism involved in many of these boards, makes it difficult to define/appreciate those who are good, from the rest. And it all becomes a "favorite", which is not quite exactly the standard for good, bad or best and a hit. It does help.
For a long time, in the early days of the Internet/Media, doing some alarming things were just what the doctor ordered. For example, some film makers would do this or that and when it would be released the Catholic Church would open its mouth and that move would get a million people watching it. And this finally hit its zenith, when they went after "Deep Throat" and it became one of the first videos ever made and it sold millions, for a very badly made (and cheap!) film in the first place, but this was the nature of the Church then, and it still does this with Abortion and other events. It's a way to put their name on the front page! And your song, too!
Generally, for me, I do not go out and look for support or to be "published" or to get annointed as one of the club and a good writer. I think I'm OK, maybe better than average, but I lack the skills to make that decision, and evaluate things better all around. I do film/music reviews as a way to explain to myself, why I see things so differently, because discussing it with folks next to me, is a dead end ... always has been ... different languages!
All in all, it depends on what you want. But i am not sure that anyone can stop a piece that is very well written from not being heard and appreciated. But I am starting to think that too many of these "music" websites, are just more nobodies ... no one ever comes out of them ...
The best, for me so far? The Ygdrasil Journal of Poetic Arts ... like 25 years on, and I was there the first 10 years, and it is now catalogued in the Canada's National Library ... and we were so out there and open about poetry and what we did, that many folks, in alt.poetry and the like were intimidated by us ... because we were not topical ditties that meant nothing but a little fun!
I think that's the main difference!
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

Tip from Mr. Dan Cumpian, do not send unfinished works and do not say they are unfinished. That is a , well, a sure way to not get comments if one starts telling about some unfinished job or if it sounds unfinished. Unless, as Dan says, you are stuck and asking for help.

kakku Tip from Mr. Dan Cumpian, do not send unfinished works and do not say they are unfinished. That is a , well, a sure way to not get comments if one starts telling about some unfinished job or if it sounds unfinished. At least usually, there are some exceptions I now do not remember. I disagree ... from a different point of view. In your area, songs, this is a problem as people end up, inadvertantly, taking advantage of your work, or vice versa. However, and literature is a good example, there are many stories about a lot of sharing (minds and bodies, too!) that ended up in very creative efforts, and these pieces were not finished at the time, and they became finished later ... and it is still unclear how much was taken from the fun and experiences and vice versa. The times and stories of Anais Nin, Henry Miller and June also fit here, as do many others over the years. The big issue, is that today, everyone is afraid to be ripped off, and in my book this is more because their work is less different than anything else out there, than otherwise. But, in the US, the camaraderie to share experiences and work, died many years ago within the commercial attitudes and calls, through out the whole day in your life. You are a subject to that economy, and you are trapped in it. The music scene in Germany in the 60's and early 70's is another example, where the friendships helped create something new. Getting comments is not the issue ... you and I having the ability to be open minded and appreciate the comments is a whole different other story. It's hard to accept a lot of comments here when most folks are here just for the fun and the beat-off! There is no artistic thought behind it all, and finding work behind it, sometimes is weird ... same person? Makes it harder to accept a comment!

One clarification I need. Is it OK if I put up one tune now that it has been almost a week when I last put up a tune, exactly 5 days? Or should I still wait for two days so that I don't make a mistake again?

Not really sure what you're asking Antti. You can do what you like, there are no 'rules' as such. Just consider though, that every time you start a new thread, you push all the other threads down the page. Personally I wait until a song/thread has run it's course, i.e. got to the point where there are no more comments being added and I've bumped the thread enough thanked everybody who has commented.

Maybe the threads could BE put so that it was possible to have several threads at one 'line' so there could BE Møre posting without feeling guilty. Not with current forum software probably. But maybe in the future.

That would require a change to the forum software, and that's very unlikely to happen. If you want to post more songs, nothing's stopping you.

You are probably right in the software thing but I am afraid there will BE no comments IF I put a tune up. Oh, well, I live only once. I Am taking a chance.

Sorry people I just realized that when using a mobile things look a lot different on the forum threads situation wise. I remembered the full version option for phones on the forums and it looks pretty bad. So I just made things worse. Sorry again. I will try to keep a long break from song postings til next time.

Hello Mr. Kaaku,
There is no secret or guide to getting more comments on your songs in the song forum.
I think the main thing you need to be is "realistic." By that I mean you need to recognize that the song forum is like a public place for you to converse and share with others. If you look at the demographics of the songs forum it is populated by a relatively small percentage of people that visit the CW Forums. In general the bulk of the submissions are of a general style and by folks who have been around for quite some time. This is just how it is, and that is something that you will have to accept. There is nothing wrong with this, or skewed against you, it is just that people gravitate towards the things, and people, they are familiar with.
I too am new to the CW Forums. I bombarded the song forums with 11 songs in the last 30 days or so. The first comment I had for a song was from Bapu, and he said my song was "weird." I was not put off by this, it is what he felt and it was honest. What i am trying to say is that you can not expect to much from the song forum. It is a group of people that all have a passion for what they do, and know what they like and don't like.
Some of your songs will get more reviews than others. Some of your songs may languish in obscurity. This does not mean they are bad, or nobody likes them, it just means that there is only so much time in the day to listen to music, and people will go towards the artists who have a track record and who have offered helpful critiques to other songs.
Just stick it out, and post what you want, when you want. If you are a true artist who is passionate about what you do then this should be the easy part. If folks comment, great, if not, then great too. It does not mean you are a bad artist, or bad person if others don't comment, and it doesn't mean you are the next Madonna if folks go gaga over your song. It actually means absolutely nothing, except that is is nice to hear someone likes what you do, and it is also nice to know if they don't (even though it may hurt a little.)
I challenge you to stick around for a year, and post the material you want to share, and then revisit this thread and see if you feel the same way as you do right now. You might be surprised.
Don't expect to be an overnight sensation, but by sticking to it you will accumulate some social collateral, and you may be responding to the next person who doesn't understand why nobody "gets me."
I love you man, because you came on like a lion, now don't go out like a lamb. Share your music, and your thoughts, and it will all work out for you whether you know it or not.

Is it best to bump my tune or just put another tune since the tune is probably not liked although I like the chorus myself. If I bump the tune it will haunt me at least another week and probably with maybe one comment and I have been giving comments like crazy so that tip is not working this time. But if I put another tune then I kind of break the first page rule although it seems the rule is not set in stone. Ideas anyone?

Like I said in post #21, there are no rules. It's up to you if you bump your thread. Personally, if my tune had 50 views and no comments, that would tell me something, and I'd probably move on with something new. I'm no Songs Forum expert, just going by my own experiences in 10 years posting there. If I looked back at my first couple of years I doubt if my threads garnered many comments. These things build up over time, people get to know you. I notice in that thread you say; '' Made it with Sonar x1. Sorry but nothing else comes to my mind about it.'' Doesn't exactly sound like you're very enthused about your own tune really...should anyone else be? Is it something you're really proud of, and passionate about?
