Just six days ago, I was desperate to try anything to get a new song started. Over the course of the past two years, I think I’ve finished just one song. So, out of desperation, I googled, “how to write a song“. I’ve been writing songs for about eighteen years, and this was very hard for me to type into that search bar. It felt so much like the scene from Adaptation where Charlie goes to a writing seminar and is neutered by the speaker.
(Disclaimer for kids, there are many many adult words in this clip, as well as an ad you can skip after 5 seconds)
The funny thing is, doing that google search brought me to that video clip, and six days later, I have two brand new songs written. Starting a third today.
