Have you ever felt like you’ve lost touch with your inner creative compass? Is songwriting a practice you want to maintain for the rest of your life? Have you ever thought about “why,” you write songs? Each week, host Michael Averill shares heart warming stories from his own experience as a touring singer/songwriter, as well as with guests, about songs that have been impactful, and why. There's always a way to put your unique fingerprint in your songwriting, and Michael is here to help you do it. Walk along with Michael @writesongsyoulove on Instagram for inspiration, tips, and challenges.
As it always does, last week’s annual interview with Death left us with a few thoughtful follow ups to ponder.
