How to Write One Song | Jeff Tweedy
4 posts | 4 read | 1 reading
There are few creative acts more mysterious and magical than writing a song. But what if the goal wasn't so mysterious and was actually achievable for anyone who wants to experience more magic and creativity in their life? That's something that anyone will be inspired to do after reading Jeff Tweedy's How to Write One Song. Why one song? Because the difference between one song and many songs isn't a cute semantic trickit's an important distinction that can simplify a notoriously confusing art form. The idea of becoming a capital-S songwriter can seem daunting, but approached as a focused, self-contained event, the mystery and fear subsides, and songwriting becomes an exciting pursuit. And then there is the energizing, nourishing creativity that can open up. How to Write One Song brings readers into the intimate process of writing one songlyrics, music, and putting it all togetherand accesses the deep sense of wonder that remains at the heart of this curious, yet incredibly fulfilling, artistic act. But its equally about the importance of making creativity part of your life every day, and of experiencing the hope, inspiration, and joy available to anyone whos willing to get started.

Like a Wilco song this just washed over me in the best of ways. I‘m not at the point of writing a song, but could relate his feelings and ideas to my other creative practices! And he is so right when he says every one of us should experience creating something.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really enjoyed this. He literally goes through a process he uses to write one song, with exercises for getting ideas for how to combine words and develop melodies, and general thoughts about creating and putting in work being bad at something until you get good at it. I definitely recommend the audiobook.
