At one point in time I had thousands of friends online. Many I had met over the years. Many more I grew up with. Some were famous but all were just regular people to me. Everyone that knows me would say that I’m the least star struck person. We all do the same thing, We work hard, we grind it out, we go home. We have life outside of our work. Some are blessed to write and make music for a living. While others work and do it as a hobby. Some just crank out a one hit wonder and then sell future songs to people and collect royalties.

Over the years I have met some amazing people. Many have struggled to build a brand or following in social media without a lot of capital for marketing and investment . There is a ton of competition for most artists especially writers and it is hard to distinguish yourself. “My Friends Are Ghosts” captures the feelings that many people have while trying to share their creative works online.

Some people are in bands and jam out, while some play on the streets with their hand out. Some take singers that can’t sing and make them sound like an AI track. A great song is a great song, whether the person on the street plays it, a local band rocks it in a bar on Friday night, or a sound engineer manipulates it to make it sound like Elton John. The words and the resonance are what really matters. If it is an original song and it touches people, makes them want to dance, improve their life, or connect with an inner emotion, we are for it.

Eric Preston Binkley wrote, “My Friends Are Ghosts,” and sang it into the yonder can and it wasn’t very good. It was the wrong beat, the wrong background, Nothing about it was right. That’s where Ok Music Writers comes in handy. We can help fix the imperfections and make a great writer, an ok singer and musician sound as good as they want. Now there are even apps on your phone that can do some crazy things.

Autotune can only go so far with some talented folks. They can write but they can’t sing, They can play music but they can’t write. AI has been used for years to tweak and likely write many songs for major artists. Fortunately there are AI tools that are affordable for normal folks that would like to create music. It can still take weeks or months or years to write an original song and create all of the artwork and branding and videos, and licensing/distribution deals, and websites and merchandise, etc.

Some people say using technology is cheating but everything uses technology to make projects better. If you are in this camp, you better throw away the phone and computer. Technology is here to stay. Use it or be left behind.
