thanks for your post, a very important concern.
BTW, we have been playing "Song For My Son" recently in my jazz band.
all the best,
Mickey Carroll
This is just some input from a seasoned song writer musician .
I think song writing should be paying attention to world community in regard to
it's struggle and life experience . Example ( Song For My Son ) is a song about children weapons or a son away at war . It is culturally diverse because of it's performance .This song has over 50.000 views and growing on You Tube . I invite you to view it and hope you enjoy .

This little video was sent to me by a friend and teacher his students ask him after hearing my song
to help them produce a video about the economy from a kids point of view
