Derek Sivers On Songwriting

CD Baby founder Derek Sivers asks “What could we create that would be SO noteworthy, SO remarkable, that there’s no way it could be ignored?”

All the musicians I’ve played with over the years have had their influence on me, on my singing, playing, and songwriting.
I definitely write to the strengths of the folks I’m playing with.

I tend to enjoy things I can musically and lyrically understand more than the overly cerebral or complex things.

Tim Stafford & Bobby Starnes On Songwriting

Once we have the pay-off line (sometimes the hook but not always) then we simply figure out how best to get from
point A to point B.

How do I feel about what I’m expressing? Is it true? Is it worth listening to? I’m still discovering the song as it takes on it’s own life in public.
