It's nice if people ask to use your song. You have to make a decision as an artist how you feel about that.
I wouldn't record any song that I didn't like.
If your label won't let you have the cover you want or sing the songs you want, then leave!
If you had ever heard my album you would know that I could never consider the music business!
I've never wanted to name an album from a song title if I could avoid it because I like it to be a body of work.

If I can't get a mental image from the song, I won't sing it.

Doing my own album provided me the opportunity to say whatever I wanted.
