A song used here in this blog (i use up about 8 to 12 songs a year i think; i make an effort to use OPM’s) about a corrupt ruler, with lines like…
” for some reason i can’t explain
i know St. Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word….
that was when i ruled the world,…etc.”
is in a collection nominated as “Album of the Year” in the Grammies ( or nominated “Song of the Year”, one or the other).
(of course, it’s American-oriented, and i’ll get a mouthful from Filipino composers, but the world market is open to all English-writing songwriters.)
