Songwriting Habit: Sharing yourself with others.

I think this is truly one of the best things about songwriting. Songwriting gives us the opportunity to share ourselves though our music and through our words.

This sharing of ourselves can be really confronting, as most of us struggle with perfectionism and living up to our own expectations.

Each of us have some much to give; our differences, beliefs, thoughts and emotions. How we interpret the world is uniquely different. We are all different but also the same….and it is in that sharing of ourselves that we can really connect with each other.

Songwriting gives us that opportunity. So the next time you get an idea for a song, rather than focussing on what it should sound like, or be about, how about focussing on sharing yourself, and sharing where you are at, right now.
