Title talk...

"I'm going to kill and eat your children in B flat major."
But enough of that.

I find "My fucking life" good. It's simple, direct and clear. Obscuring it might almost seem a bit contrived.

Although of course, it's already rather ambiguous as it is: I mean, "My fucking life" could be something terribly depressed, or a highly enthusiastic impression of a person's exciting sex life.

But anyways, I don't see what's bad about fucking.

I have nothing against it; most artistically creative people won't. But, it depends what you plan on doing with the piece....

I mean, performances by/for like-minded musicians and aficionados is one thing, but getting it performed elsewhere, or published, sold/bought will be tough. You're setting yourself up for parents and teachers to lump you in with rappers and jazz musicians.

Indeed.

You can obviously name any piece of music anything you want, but using a word that's normally bleeped on television might prevent it from going somewhere.

Of course, if you're already established as an ingenious Mozart II, then you could name it anything you'd like, and while people might have a problem with the title, it could still go far.

Personally, I would skip over a track called "My Fucking Life".....
But I'm a kid, and I'm sheltered from words like that, lol.
Shoot, I got my cell phone and my keyboard taken away last time I used that word...

I can't vote since I cannot agree with any of your options.

I think you should have the right to say whatever you want your title to be and keep it that way. However, you will probably run across people who will be offended and it will cause problems. What you should be able to do and what the path of least resistance is sometimes conflict with each other. =/

Or, shoot everyone that doesn't agree!

PS: Or, like some say, any problem can be solved when a sufficient amount of high explosives are applied.

PS2: This is just a joke. I don't endorse the use of explosives or guns. :<

PS3: Unless... uh... No I don't. Forget I said anything.

I don't care for the title. Not because of the cussing, but it sounds a little too much like something an adolescent nu-metal band would come up with.

But if you really like the title and think it fits well, then I say go for it.

Erargghh nu-metal. *cringe*

Don't go emo on us, Nikolas!

Lets look at it this way...if society recently discovered a long lost piano piece by Beethoven and "My Fucking Life" was etched at the top, people would still love Beethoven and would want to buy a newly released cd with the recording.

Sure some people would be turned off by the title, but maybe Nikolas would have the first art music cd with a parental advisory.
