I Applied Storytelling Ideas To Songs (it changed my life!)

When I go to YouTube and search for videos about songwriting, I see results about lyrics, melodies, chords, songwriting process, the list goes on. But these results aren't relevant. That's right, these results are not relevant. While these videos do discuss elements of songs, they don't discuss the song itself. A song is a higher-level construct that's unique from its underlying elements. It's like searching for tips on how to make pizza and getting results on cheese, tomato sauce, and dough.

After pondering why I was getting these unhelpful results, I realized the core issue is our definition of the word song. In this video, I'll break this down further and share my two-word definition of a song. More importantly, I'll share how this definition led me to develop a songwriting framework that has transformed my songs and can do the same for you.
