What Dreamers Do
Songwriting: Behind-The-Scenes
Show Notes

In this episode, I share some of my thoughts on songwriting and why I have a bit of impostor syndrome when it comes to calling myself a songwriter.
I also share tons of information that I normally give in my songwriting workshops, including information about: song forms and structures, rhyme schemes, formats, story songs, and ballads.
I also share some actionable tips for songwriters (and perhaps other creative souls) who might need a jog of creative inspiration!
Lastly, I share some "behind-the-song" details about one of my more popular songs from the back-catalog.
Even if you're not a songwriter, I hope you'll enjoy hearing about the process, with a bit of music along the way!
