Singer-songwriter

Singer-songwriter is a term that refers to performers who write, compose and sing their own material including lyrics and melodies, often providing the sole accompaniment to an entire composition or song. A number of other well-known musicians may write some of their own songs, but are usually referred to as singers instead. Edit this Artist photo: Lars Winnerbäck

typical of the singer-songerwriter label. its bullshit for the most part. its just a way for fans and artists that make folksy music to make themselves feel like they're better than everyone else. yea i said it :) im looking at you sharyl crow supporters. to time for me to be PC.

most of the artists on this tag are folk to alternative, this is really a catch-all tag like the alternative one has become.

So the #3 track for the "singer-songwriter" tag is "hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley; a song performed by someone who didn't write it. Nice one taggers. Nice one.

People who hate this tag love it when record labels tell their musicians what to sing. [2] Also wtf is up with all the spam here? If it's supposed to be trolling, GTFO, it's not funny.

It's finally happened, two tracks by Acoustic Phases now available here on Last FM. http://www.last.fm/music/Acoustic+Phases Taking Time & Seasons of Life. Two great songs that touch on our ever changing world and how we intertwine with nature and about Noticing all the little things we take for granted in life. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on my songs.
