Songwriter is a 1984 film, directed by Alan Rudolph.
The film concerns Doc Jenkins, (Willie Nelson), a country and western composer and the devious tricks he employs to extricate himself from his legal entanglement with a Nashville gangster entrepreneur who takes all the profits from his songs. Fed up with life touring, and making no money from recordings of his music, Doc has turned to managing the career of his old singing partner Blackie Buck, (Kris Kristofferson). Doc takes a further client - a woman singer, Gilda, (Lesley Ann Warren). He wants to get back with his ex-wife Honey (Melinda Dillon). He wants solid ground beneath his feet again.
The film is a satirical comedy about an artist seeking his freedom. The material is loosely based on Willie Nelson's own life, and legend, and finances. His song "Night Life", for example, which he sold in 1961 for $150, went on to be recorded by over 70 artists and sold more than 30 million copies.
The film is reviewed, favourably, by the critic Pauline Kael in her collection of movie reviews, Hooked. "Playing a vain, laid-back sensualist, the silver bearded Kristofferson has a smiling glow; he has never been more at ease; Rip Torn is the pictures insurance against gentility. Everything he says sounds mean and dirty, and even when you can't understand his snarled out words he makes you laugh. Rhonda Dotson has something of Teri Garr's manic alertness and dippiness, too, but in a softer form. She's a romantic comedienne with awesome poise. Richard C. Sarafian has a whomping comic menace. Lesley Ann Warren's Gilda is spectacular. When we first see Gilda, she's a singer with no belief in herself and no class; she's an incredibly beautiful girl in a red dress [but] when Doc grooms her to go out as the opening act for Blackie, she begins to learn something about taste and musicianship, and her voice flowers. Besides being one of the great beauties of the screen, Warren can sing."

Down to her Socks Here's a song about a good 'ole girl with a big 'ole heart that got broke 'cause she was in love with some son of a bitch who didn't love her back enough ... Slowly she sank to her knees on the floor Cursin' the freedom she'd won From the torture she vowed not to take anymore And the victim she'd almost become Chorus: For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving She sure took a long time to go But he loved her right down to her socks and no further And her feet were the last ones to know.

You can make them in any kind of way you would like. I can help with structuring it for you! ) Lyrics: I think of beautiful rainbows And hilltop trees Babies in mangers and people who are so excited they scream Looking up as if this was a dream come true The universe protecting our aching souls And making things anew. I think of loving couples who been together for years I think of ultraviolet lilies growing in the spring I see the same ones also wither away in the winter. As if we are all are seasonal. But their pureness remains the same. I think of our egos. How we are destined to be great. That very strength that's innate...
Twice instrumental- little dragon (Remember I'm not a singer! Lol I'm a songwriter so loves to write for artists to expand their styles!) Lyrics I gave them back to the universe. Where they belong. We found love in a hopeless place we found comfort in being ourselves. Yet ourselves didn't accept each other. They were too hard to comprehend. Free spirited truth serum wasn't the fairytale they had quite hoped for. And misery had love the company of one another. So we gave each other back to the universe where we belong. To see what it holds. Nothing can be done. What's done is done. Love in the heart but it's time to move on. Hurt war marks, regretful sentiments, should of could of would of's and the road sign says wrong way. We turned there anyway. And we manage to try to live in a dea...

Background music:Outkast- liberation instrumental My Lyrics : enuff can go for some of your loving Needing that pure love language we had in common with Our souls came out to play, Like they were excited to let free and play awhile Happy it's not aching because that's what they're use to feeling. I'm not finding no one attractive They just don't match up And even when I swear on a stack of bibles to never call you again, I find myself wanting if you checking for me In any kind of way Because my thoughts should have put u on a magical rug to give you some rest To decompress Put me the side so you don't have that stress I'm distressed Because all I wanted you was to the best You couldn't see me though. You saw past me. Get me Anybody's anybody can be a somebody that's nobody and I w...
Background music is Erykah Badu: Cleva ;-) Here are the lyrics below that I wrote: The posterior of the leather your skin is whipped creamed in The insides of pieces of desperation I so wanted to fly around as a butterfly to pick up the unwanted hurt and inspire to know God is blessing with a remedy. A woman whose determination, her ambition, her will, her balance can bring you peace. You weren't quite ready. The broken womb that crack piped a child searching for love in the wrong places her whole life. Needing guidance of love. Learned behavior she know it'll happen to another. Until I made a fatal mistake of not showing you what I truly desire. That telepathy, undeserving, superhuman, rock you at night and tell you everything gon be alright, that all encompassing, that everlasti...

The theory (we believe it is much more than just a theory!) is that when you first start saying your positive affirmations, they may not be true, but with repetition they sink into your subconscious mind, you really start to believe them, and eventually they become your reality, they become a self fulfilling prophecy and actually become true. Over time they overwrite any limiting or negative beliefs you may have about yourself or about not being able to do something, and replace them with positive thoughts and beliefs which instill confidence, belief, positivity, ambition and much more. As you listen to these affirmations, you will find yourself feeling more positive than before the video began.
