The BIGGEST Lesson About Music Publishing EXPOSED Hotney 5 Streams • 1 year ago

In this clip of The Manager’s Playbook, Ray Daniels and I unpack the real difference between pop and urban splits and why the same work can mean wildly different paychecks.

We dive into a case study involving a triple platinum record and break down how much each contributor actually earned. From understanding producer and publishing cuts to the strategic realities of deal-making, this conversation is a must for anyone navigating the business side of music.

We also explore Lizzo’s early career moves, the identity challenges she faced, and why connecting with the right audience matters more than ever.

Simply put, a conversation like this doesn’t come cheap.

GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Wolfgang Van Halen continues to separate Mammoth from the pack. The music stands alone on a foundation anchored by his impressive sonic proficiency (across drums, bass, keys, and guitar) and airtight arena-size hooks with unforgettable vocals. He harbors an irresistible signature sound, inventive vision, and incomparable identity vaunted by a fervent global fanbase. For as unique as the music is, his story so far proves to be just as unprecedented. This is arguably the first hard rock act to genuinely break out from ground zero in the 2020’s, generating north of 100 million streams, toppling charts, and selling out headline tours less than five years since its debut. Back in 2021, Mammoth’s first offering, Mammoth WVH, took flight, bowing at #12 on the Billboard 200 and capturing #1 on three Billboard charts—Top Hard Rock Albums, Top Independent Albums, and Top Rock Albums. “Distance” soared as the first of two #1 Rock Radio Hits and earned a GRAMMY® Award nomination for “Best Rock Song.” Two years later, Mammoth II only saw him pick up the pace. It debuted in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart in addition to bringing him back to #1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart. It incited widespread applause from Rolling Stone, Guitar World, GRAMMY.com, Classic Rock, American Songwriter, and KERRANG! The band canvased the globe with Metallica and Pantera and supported Foo Fighters in North America as well as filling houses on their own. They performed on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, at MusiCares 2024 gala in honor of Jon Bon Jovi, and Wolf took the stage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Induction of Ozzy Osbourne. Now, Wolfgang pushes forward on Mammoth’s third full-length LP.

LYRICS

My past reflects the choice I see
Ghosts of my own making, staring back at me
Weight of regrets, lays on my face
All the mistakes

Rob me my space, the walls start to bend
Each broken piece refuses to mend
This version of me comes to an end
I‘m so done with pretend

I cant ignore the truth that I must face
The mirror shows what I became
Now I‘ll break from this place

I've been running from my name
Chased reflections, lost the flame
Tired of this game
Now I'm done with who l've been,
Peeling off my weathered skin
And let the light shine in

Face me, bare to the bone
No echo remains to call my own
I’ve lived too long in your borrowed tones
Now I stand here alone

This mask became my skin
And every smile an insincere lie
I‘ll grow from deep within
Let something real begin

I've been running from my name
Chased reflections, lost the flame
Tired of this game
Now I'm done with who l've been,
Peeling off my weathered skin
And let the light shine in

I let the light shine in, no longer blind
And if its killing me, fuck nevermind

Fuck, nevermind

I’m sick of this pain
Playing their game

I've been running from my name
Chased reflections, lost the flame
Tired of this game
Now I'm done with who l've been,
Peeling off my weathered skin
Don’t fall back in

Don’t fall back in

LYRICS:
Brain rot nightmare three fifty seven
Molotov cocktails rain from the heavens
Panicking I’m messed up
Sweating through my sheets praise God
Then I’m blessed up
Cause every day I grind in the trenches
Every day the same, never ending
Even through the pain in the wreckage, I will make it through

One life
I got one chance
Got one shot, wont get it again
I don’t wanna waste it, wake up fucking brain dead
One life, one chance
Got one shot wont get it again
I don’t want to waste it, wake up fucking brain dead

(Toby Morse)
You only got One Life
You only got one chance
You only got one shot
Don’t waste it

I’m a do my thing just to prove it
You could thow ya shade but im cruisin’
Stay up in your lane before I lose it
I will make it through

One life
I got one chance
Got one shot, wont get it again
I don’t wanna waste it, wake up fucking brain dead
One life, one chance
Got one shot wont get it again
I don’t want to waste it, wake up fucking brain dead

Brain dead brain rot spoon fed
All eyes on truth I’m hell bent
I can’t sit here wasting
My time my life can’t fake this
Brain dead brain rot spoon fed
All eyes on truth I’m hell bent
I’m hell bent

One life
I got one chance
Got one shot, wont get it again
I don’t wanna waste it, wake up fucking brain dead
One life, one chance
Got one shot wont get it again
I don’t want to waste it, wake up fucking brain dead

Wake Up fucking brain dead

Lyrics:

Verse 1

Telephone talking for hours
Lately the silence got louder
Now when I call I can’t even get through, yeah
Feels like we’re losing each other
And I don’t think we can recover
Know that you’re feeling some type of way too, yeah

Pre-Chorus

You don’t have to say it,
Cos I already know
Things ain’t the same,
But I thought it would blow over
Thought we could patch it up,
Guess I was wrong
End of the day,
I gotta move on (hmm)

Chorus

Thought I found the words to say
Played it in my head a million times
Now we’re standing face to face
It’s much harder looking in your eyes
Whole world might change
As soon we go our separate ways
Blue skies turn grey
Now all I see on my window pane
Is rain, rain
Rain, rain

Verse 2

Last night I ran in to your mother
That’s what’s making this tougher
She told me that I turned your house to a home again
All of my mates say don’t bother
And I should just go find another
They tell me it’s over and I should quit hoping

Pre-Chorus

You don’t have to say
Cos I already know
Things ain’t the same
But I thought it would blow over
Thought we could patch it up
Guess I was wrong end of the day
I gotta move on (hmm)

Chorus

Thought I found the words to say
Played it in my head a million times
Now were standing face to face
It’s much harder looking in your eyes
Whole world might change
As soon we go our separate ways
Blue skies turn grey
Now all I see on my window pane
Is rain, rain
Rain, rain

Middle 8

My heart don’t feel no better
Underneath this umbrella, rain
My heart don’t feel no better
I don’t want this stormy weather
To stay

Chorus

Thought I found the words to say
Played it in my head a million times
Now were standing face to face
It’s so much harder looking in your eyes
Whole world might change
As soon we go our separate ways
Blue skies turn grey
Now all I see on my window pane
Is rain, rain
Rain, rain

My heart don’t feel no better
Underneath this umbrella, rain
