Best Answer

When a record label has invested money into a song or album but loses faith that the act will sell well, or they want to drop the act for other reasons they will 'soft release' it.

This means they won't spend the required extra money on proper promotion, often pushing the album release back over and over in veiled attempts to actually reduce the buzz and stifle record sales.

This is because an un-recouped band (making a loss on the album) is actually in this scenario worth more to the label as a tax write off than if the band turned a small profit as the entire debt owed to the label is tax deductible if they kill the record / drop the act.

What does the arrow mean in the poem?

The Arrow And The Song is a powerful poem written by the famous American poet H.W.Longfellow. The poem is symbolic. There are two images in the poem- the arrow and the song. The arrow stands for determination and the song stands for kindness. Both are human virtues, but one is strong and the other is soft. The poet shot an arrow into the air and it touched the ground somewhere, but the poet doesn't know where. It flew so swiftly that his sight could not follow it in it's flight. Long long afterward he found it struck in an oak, still unbroke. The arrow is made of wood and it later was found struck in wood. Wood sought wood, when let free. Oak is very hard, even then the arrow was found unbroken. Thus the arrow stands for determination. The poet means that such strong was his determination that it could face any kind of hardships. The poet breathed a song into the air and forgot all about it for a long time. But later he found the whole song being sung in full by one of his friends. He had never thought it would be taken up by another. A song originates in one human heart and lands in another human heart. Song is a soft kindness. A song is the heart-to-heart communion and exchange of human kindness.
