Podcast Show Notes:
Dear Songwriter,
I recently found myself thinking a lot about lyricism and how it all comes together in a song. I know how challenging it can be to strike the perfect balance between personal and relatable, clear and mystifying, nonsense and poetry. We've all been in that space, lost in doubts and insecurities when it comes to articulating our feelings through words. I've been there too. So tune in today as I take a trip down memory lane, retracing the steps I've taken with mentors, coaches, and teachers to conquer these songwriting mountains. I'll be dishing out three essential tips to help navigate the tricky terrain of lyric writing.

The power of clear lyrics and consistency. Consistent point of view, consistent tense, and consistent message all play important roles in songwriting.
