I miss your songwriting class! I hope things are going well! Watch out for a new pop song coming soon. I plan on purchasing your book on writing for TV and film. That has to be a great book! JD

She's wrong, common experiences in the human condition bind us all together, where as writing a song about how it's hard to eat 20 hot dogs in one sitting may not resonate in certain parts of Africa, it will sure a hell sell in our white world. So this crap about having to fill in all the gaps neatly so that everyone gets it, is nonsense. It's not that people don't get it it's that they have heard it so much that they totally get it and are sick of hearing it. Stop writing according to formulas!

I heartily disagree. The listener is free to internalize things like "I remember that night" to their own personal experiences. Specifications in the lyrics are not the same things as hooks. If any of this lyrical business is even noticed by the listener, the songwriter is already more than 50% there, as someone is already paying attention.

I tell you this boys n girls: there are no rules. Play what you feel, write what you live.
If there's power in it, it will resonate with other people, 'cause that's all there is.

Yes, but unfortunately, there seems to be sooo much more mud to dig through.
