I love songwriting. I really love songwriting. I love the whole industry of songwriting. I mean every bit of it. Even with that much of enthusiasm, however, I oftentimes find myself struggling, frustrated, and hating songwriting because I love it so much.
I am constantly looking for the ways I can write better lyrics, melodies, a better song that can move me and move others who are willing to pay enough attention to my songs. And I'm sure there are other songwriters/artists who feel the same way. So I decided to get some help from some of the published Artisans* of any kind (not just songwriters, but persons who are involved in the business of creating art forms).
* Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines Artisan as:
1 : a worker who practices a trade or handicraft : craftsperson
2 : one that produces something (as cheese or wine) in limited quantities often using traditional methods
I hope to learn to write a better song by collecting the thoughts of different artisans, and meditating on the meaning, then to apply the learnings (I know that's not an actual word) on my songs and share them with you the joyous process of songwriting!
All your suggestions, (en/dis)couragements, constructive criticisms are almost always welcome. And please, feel free to communicate/share with me your enthusiasms of creating : )
Thanks for creating.
