a lesson from Colbie Caillat
“And in the evenings we would write songs and talk about life situations and how to turn them into beautiful songs for people to relate to.”
- I really value the process of co-writing also known as collaboration. I think it makes what is already a good song to a higher level of art.
- Humanity's unending desire to connect with "greater reality" needs to be fulfilled somehow. People are searching, longing, and music, maybe, is one of the best ways for humanity to truly realize that there is something greater than themselves.
“The best part about writing with Rick [Nowels] is he gives me so much confidence. Like, he loves everything I come up with. I’ll be singing a lyric or a melody idea and he’ll be like, “Ooh, I like that! Keep going with it. I really think this song is a hit!””
- I would love a friend songwriter like that. In fact, I want to be one someday. I usually find myself in a very vulnerable state of mind when I had just came up with an idea or finished a song. Any encouragement would help at that situation. What more of a life-giving experience that is, an encouragement from an expert! That's huge.
“I have so many songs written that I would love to start giving some that I don’t think are meant for me out to other artists that they could be perfect for. So, that’s why I just keep writing: because I love it, and even if the song’s not going to go on my record, it could go perfectly for someone else.”
- I picked this because I would love to do that myself as well.
Thanks for creating!
