A ROUGH TRADE BOOK OF THE YEAR
There are few artistic acts more mysterious than writing a song. But what if a shift in perspective—and some practical guidance—could overcome that mystery? Anyone wanting to experience more creativity and mindfulness will be inspired to do just that after reading How to Write One Song.
Why one song? The difference between one song and many songs isn't a charming semantic trick—it's an important distinction that can simplify a notoriously confusing art form. The idea of becoming a capital-S Songwriter can seem daunting, but when approached as a focused, self-contained practice, the mystery and fear subside, and songwriting becomes an exciting pursuit.
How to Write One Song brings readers into this intimate process—lyrics, music, and how they come together. It's equally about the importance of making creativity part of your everyday life and of experiencing the hope, inspiration, and joy available to anyone who is willing to get started.
