Tom Smith

Songwriting Workshop

Every once in awhile I am asked about songwriting, and how I do it. Songwriting is, I've found, an intensely personal experience which differs for every songwriter. Except for the ones who use Mad-Libs -- or, as they say at marketing school, "The Ideal Customer Base".

Do you realize I spent all day yesterday singing "And try not to make a repetitive chorus, it's wasteful of words and a bore" over and over and over and over???

Fantastic! But you forgot one other important detail: never write anything in 3/4 time.
