The trick (if I can call it that) is to build a connection with your
listeners. If you can get people to listen to your stuff as a personal interaction, they are far more open or find it easier to understand.
It is obviously much harder to reach people outside your circle. That's
where the big labels spend their cash.

It's not so much a trick as it is a 'secret', and it's not even that because simple observation will show the best path(s) to those connections.
Those 'circles' are mostly of two kinds, the natural which is based on
innate factors and responses since time immemorial , and the manipulated,
i.e. Designed and Dictated 'policies', 'trends' and behaviors...even unto becoming a form of Bullying, the 'concept' of 'political correctness' being
a classic example...which my Music totally flies in the face of!
Filthy Lucre-worshiping Robber Barons, such as are associated with the big labels, are mostly fond of going for the manipulations since they're megalomaniacs anyway and are seeking to play 'god' and 'shape' the world in accordance with what will best stroke their arrogant egos.
But choosing natural 'circles' i.e. common struggles and other situations,
will work best because they'll be related to by most if not practically all
of those who'll hear the material and they'll make the most connections and thus have the greatest impact.
Such approaches is part of the style of how I write songs, to totally bypass pretenses and other denial, and go literally to the very heart of the
matter, and from the field testing I've been doing, I can safely conclude
that it works as they're being very well received.
