That aside, Tony, you are damn good at this and I mean that as someone who knows professional writers. Most significantly, your analysis is interesting even to people who don't know anything about music, or aren't familiar with the song in question. That's the mark of a truly good writer in this field.

Write up a dozen of them, and start sending your sample portfolio to Rolling Stone, Wired, Spotify, Pandora, everyone. When people read these, they want to read more.
