Why is it I don’t remember the masses being so affected by the death of Austrian recording artist FALCO?
The creator of “Rock Me Amadeus” and “Der Komissar,” he died with barely a blurb in my local paper about 10 years ago, I think.
Where do recording artists/record labels/producers find lyrics for their songs if they don’t write them?
Do they just hire someone who writes songs? Do random people just submit lyrics? Do they search poetry magazines? Do they only go to professional song writers? How can I become a paid song lyric writer? Thanks!
Why don’t young people want their “favorite” recording artists to be actually paid for their work?
I ask this question on account of the flood of “free music download” questions that appear every day.
An artist records a new song
If 500 copies are sold, the singer makes a small anount of money
If 5,000 copies are sold, the singer makes a worthwhile amount of money
If 50,000 copies are sold, the singer is beginning to get rich
If people download the song for free, each download is a lost sale and the singer makes nothing.
A singer friend of mine recently released her second CD.
She had to pay for studio time, she had to pay musicians and she had to pay backing singers. In addition she had to pay for manufacture, distribution and promotion of the CD. All this cost $22,000.
It is an investment. Think how many copies she has to sell simply to get her $22,000 back. Only after sales have produced revenue of $22,000 does she actually begin making money for herself (to live on).
Legitimate download sites pay mandatory fees – part of which gets back to the artist. The $1 per track charged simply reimburses the site for the fees it has paid out to handle the music, and perhaps a little profit to keep the site itself going.
Why are young people so reluctant to pay their buck for a song that the artist has spent so much time and money on creating?

I need to sell my vinyl records but don’t know where?

Thank you.
