2. 3 Ways to Make Your First Album Release Less Overwhelming
00:06:53
Putting ourselves out there for the first time can be scary, whether it's through music, business, or whatever else. In doing so, we hide from the moment, and ultimately decide to shy away from starting and/or finishing an album because of it. ⠀ Here are three ways to alleviate some of those pressures, so that you can more easily execute, and ultimately get to the finish line.
3. 8 Thoughts to Help You Gain the Confidence to Release Your First Album or Single

1. Titling your song first. By choosing a title early on, you can establish a clear direction for songwriting and maintain a sense of purpose throughout the creative process.
2. Mapping out your verses. Creating a roadmap for your song allows you to structure your ideas and ensure that each verse builds upon the previous one, contributing to the overall narrative or message.
3. Decide on a character's point of view and use of pronouns. These choices shape the perspective through which your story is told, adding depth and coherence to your lyrics.
4. The power of metaphors in songwriting. Metaphors provide a creative way to convey emotions and ideas, allowing listeners to connect with your song on a deeper level.
Join me in this episode as we explore these strategies and learn how to maintain focus and clarity in our songwriting! Whether you're a seasoned songwriter or just starting out, these techniques will help you craft compelling and meaningful lyrics that resonate with your audience.

72. Open Letter to the Person who Called Me a “Fraud”
00:08:45
Dear Songwriter,
I was called a fraud.
I was speaking with an aspiring songwriter back in the spring via Instagram DMs, and she DMed me the following:
"You are such a fraud LOL. A person who actually feels things can seek that out from a mile away with you. Have fun with that. Those who can't do teach."
Instead of getting mad, feeling hurt, or attacking her back, I decided to turn this into a teachable moment for ALL songwriters that are experiencing similar frustrations as her. In this episode, I’m going to sharing an open letter that I wrote to "Ashley," (the name we'll go with for now) in response to everything that went down.
If you're a songwriter feeling some of the same frustrations as Ashley, listen in on this episode to hear my response!
I'm thrilled to have my talented colleague, Julie Lavery, join me in this week's episode as we dive into: "3 Ways to Make Money from Songwriting." Julie, a seasoned professional songwriter based in the heart of Nashville, brings a wealth of experience and insights to the table.
In our conversation, Julie and I explore the magic of co-writing, sharing stories of how collaboration can not only enhance your creativity but also lead to financial gains in the future. Julie paints a vivid picture of the co-writing process, from finding the perfect creative partners to navigating the world of agreements and splits. We then venture into the realm of crafting songs for sync opportunities, unraveling the secrets behind tailoring your music for placements in films, TV shows, commercials, and more.

Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of persistence, adaptability, and continuous learning in the ever-evolving music industry. So, whether you're seeking collaborative partnerships, eyeing sync opportunities, or considering coaching, Julie and I invite you to join us on this episode as we unravel the secrets to making money from your songwriting passion!
In this episode, I'm hashing out the intricacies of powerful song endings. As a songwriter, you understand the pivotal role endings play in how your audience remembers and connects with your music. Just like in movies and books, the final moments of a song are what linger in people's minds. Here are some techniques we'll cover today to help conclude your songs with confidence and impact:
1. Ending with a Chorus Discover the potency of wrapping up your song with a chorus. We explore options like the double chorus, key changes, and accentuation. Through the lens of Blink-182's "Going Away to College," learn how these techniques can elevate your song's closing moments.
2. Concluding with a Verse Explore how concluding with a verse keeps your narrative alive. Whether it's revisiting an earlier verse, introducing a fresh perspective, or crafting a half-verse, this approach adds depth. I'm using the iconic Eagles' "Hotel California" to illustrate how verse endings leave your listeners wanting more.
3. Add an "Actual" Outro Sometimes, the best ending is one that feels like a new beginning. I'm calling this concept of the "actual" outro because it's a completely new section of your song, unique from your verse, chorus, or bridge. Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge" shows how this approach injects new life into your composition.
4. Instrumental Outros This technique allows instruments take center stage in your finale. Guitar solos, fading melodies, and unique chord progressions all contribute to an impactful instrumental outro. With Eric Clapton's "Layla" as our guide, we'll explore how instrumental endings offer a different kind of musical resonance.
Dive into this episode to strengthen your songwriting and craft endings that linger, resonate, and etch themselves into your listeners' memories!
Today we're launching into the topic of finding "your sound".
Whether you're an experienced composer stuck in a creative loop or just starting out, I'm going to cover an exercise that might help you push through! With these 4 key points, we're going to explore the world of music analysis and how you can use your favorite albums to shape and refine your artistry:
Why an Album Analysis Over a Song Analysis? This approach unveils recurring musical nuances that define an artist's essence as a whole. If you're solely listening to different songs you like, they may be missing that signature "sound" and consistency you can find in an album.
A Step-by-Step on How to do an Album Analysis:
Listen to the album on repeat in a casual, non-active fashion.
Listen to the album again in a more analytical frame of mind.
Take notes on melody, lyrics, instruments, and arrangements in the songs.
Pay attention to repeating themes or sounds. What is staying the same throughout the whole record?
Apply Your Findings to Your Own Songwriting! Learn how to leverage the most prominent themes and tools uncovered during your analysis. Use these newfound elements to revitalize your creative process and enhance your songs!
How I Did This Process with Postal Service's "Give Up" Album: Some of my personal experience with The Postal Service's iconic 2003 album, "Give Up." Analyzing the themes and instrumentation of this album really helped give me a new twist to my songwriting process, and I hope it will do the same for you!
If you haven't found that "sound" that you're looking for yet, let's get into this episode for some tips on how to do it!

Have you ever been eating something salty and then later had a craving for something sweet? Our ears are the same way. We're drawn to contrast, and including this in your songwriting could be the extra spice that your song needs.
Today, I'm joined again by my colleague, Julie Lavery, a seasoned Nashville-based Artist and professional songwriter. Julie's impressive accomplishments include song placements in Fox's TV show "Monarch," a substantial YouTube following, national tours with Sarah Darling, and viral success with her new song "Stars and Stripes."
Julie and I are exploring three critical areas to use contrast: Melody, Lyrics, and Chord Progressions. By dissecting each element and providing practical examples, we're hoping to show how contrast can breathe life into your songs, making them a truly memorable experience for your listeners.
If you're finding yourself stuck and feeling like your songs need something more, listen in on this episode!
78. How to Implement "Energy Flow" into Your Songwriting
00:19:59
Dear Songwriter!
"Energy flow" is important. In general, of course, and also with songwriting. But how we manage and harness that energy throughout a song, can make or break your listener’s sonic experience.
So in this episode, I’m going to be discussing why it’s important to, and how we can implement energy flow into our songs.
For some reference, I’ll be using Goo-goo Dolls’ timeless hit “Iris” as an example.
Enjoy!

79. Answering Your Questions - Mailbag Episode #1
00:26:25
Dear Songwriter,
I answer the following questions in this episode:
As a recording artist, how do you go about finding and collaborating with a songwriter to be able to record their songs?
did you write these lyrics prior to having a melody or a series of chords accompaniment? how do you start?
How long is the program? And what’s the structure like?
How do you get past writing with fear of people hearing/reading your work instead of writing from a space of expression and freedom?
How can we learn to be vulnerable and trust the people in the songwriting groups not to steal our lyrics/art?
How did you find or build authentic community as an artist?
How do you get over the fear of disappointing yourself like being too scared to write because you're afraid of making something bad?
What if you have the words, but suck at putting music to it because you can only play 4 chords?
And invite you to join the Songwriter's Bat Cave, a free Facebook group community of fellow songwriters and musicians.

In honor of recently turning 35, I'll be sharing the 35 of the most important lessons I learned throughout my career, which have paved the way for touring, international recognition, features in major publications, music video production in iconic cities, and the establishment of my dream songwriting mentoring business.

35 - Life is f***ing short. Might as well make music.
In this episode, I'm diving into the common songwriter's dilemma: The Second Verse Curse. I understand the frustration of not knowing how to progress the story and feeling like I've poured everything into Verse 1. But here's the truth: Verse 2 struggles often stem from not fully grasping what we've created in Verse 1.
To help you break through this creative block, I'll present a seven-step exercise that will provide the clarity you need to never get stuck on Verse 2 again:
Step 1: Answer the following question - What’s happening in Verse 1?
Example: I’m introducing the main character by describing their personality and some physical traits, and make it known that they have entered a new relationship.
Step 2: Answer the following question - What do I want to say in the Chorus?
Example: That a toxic person may not reveal themselves until much later on
Step 3: List out all of the possibilities of where the story could go (include bad ideas, just write everything down):
Example:
Highlight the "good things" about this relationship
Highlight the ugly things about this relationship
Introduce the second character
Detail the breakup
Step 4: Choose the item from your list that most resonates with you/feels most natural to write about...
...and then free-write journal to expand on the concept. (it’s OK if It sounds "stupid".)
Example:
Highlight the "good things" about this relationship
At first we would often go out to eat on the weekends and always seemed to agree on what restaurant we wanted to go to. We would then spend hours at night just talking with each other.
Step 5: Take that free-write journaled excerpt, and draft 4-8 lines for your verse.
Example:
(journaled) At first we would often go out to eat on the weekends and always seemed to agree on what restaurant we wanted to go to. We would then spend hours at night just talking with each other.
(draft) Saturday came with food for two // grabbed the same menu each time // the clock turned to one, our mouths on the run // and didn’t catch them until the sun’s rise
Step 6: Reflect on the things you like, and the things you need to work on.
Example:
(draft) Saturday came with food for two // grabbed the same menu each time // then the clock turned to one, our mouths on the run // and couldn’t catch them until the sun’s rise
(reflection) I like the imagery and metaphor of the last two lines, but there lacks some connection between going from lines two to three, specifically going from describing eating food together, to talking all night together
Step 7: Redraft Verse 2 based on those notes.
Let's walk through it together in today's episode!
87. How Do I Write a Song About Something Other than My Ex?
00:17:13
Dear Songwriter,
Have you ever felt stuck, like your songs are all about the same thing? Well, I've felt that exact same way. But don't worry, in today's episode I'm aiming to broaden your horizons with three tips that I've learned through my experience that will help you expand your songwriting repertoire:
1. Choosing a Clear Topic, Main Character, and Point of View:
Identifying a fresh subject that excites your creativity.
Creating a compelling main character to anchor your song.
Selecting a unique point of view to offer a fresh perspective.
2. Using Verses to Dive into the World and Struggles of Your Main Character:
Crafting verses that draw listeners into your character's story.
Delving into the emotions, challenges, and experiences of your main character.
The power of storytelling in your lyrics.
3. Using Melodies to Reflect the Mood and Vibe of the Song and Story:
How melodies can be a powerful tool to convey emotions.
Matching the mood of the music to the content of the song.
Balancing the melodic elements with the lyrical message.
Song Dissection: As always, I'll be dissecting a song that exemplifies these principles. In this episode, we'll explore Blink-182's 2000 single, "Stay Together for the Kids," and analyze how they successfully incorporated these concepts to create a compelling narrative.
